M. HayesLocal Guide

Wanted to give an honest review of Capital Auto Service. Our son’s car had an AC issue not cooling and we called and they said bring it in for a no charge estimate. We did a walk-in and they assessed the issue and told us how much the AC repair would be, we set the appointment and they did an awesome job! Cools great!! We haven’t had any issues. This is a reputable company for sure and they stand behind their work! We have now been being all 3 of our vehicles for Maintance and normal oil change, tire rotation and inspection. Thank you to the crew!

Ngozi Collins Local Guide

That shop is so clean and well maintained that you could perform surgery on their floor. They diagnosed our car issues quickly with an estimate that was reasonable. Capitol Auto fixed our car quicker than we expected. They are highly recommended by other shops in the area. We plan on using this repair shop from now on.

Bob MonroeLocal Guide

Professional and knowledgeable staff. Routine maintenance is fast, and the more in-depth repairs are completed with premium parts. Prices and service can't be beat on the island, and I wouldn't go anywhere else for factory equivalent work.

FAQs

Routine maintenance ensures your vehicle runs smoothly, helps prevent breakdowns, and extends its lifespan by catching small issues before they become costly repairs.

General maintenance includes oil changes, fluid checks, filter replacements, tire rotations, brake inspections, and overall vehicle system diagnostics to keep your car in top shape.

A diagnostic test checks for issues within your vehicle’s systems using specialized tools to identify error codes and potential malfunctions, ensuring we can address problems early.

It’s recommended to have your A/C system checked annually or if you notice reduced cooling, unusual noises, or unpleasant smells coming from the vents. 

Common symptoms include a rough or bumpy ride, difficulty steering, uneven tire wear, or unusual noises when turning or driving over bumps.

It’s recommended to inspect your suspension every 50,000 miles or if you notice changes in vehicle handling, ride comfort, or unusual noises.

Typically, it’s recommended to change your oil every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, but this can vary depending on your vehicle’s make, model, and type of oil used.

Delaying an oil change can lead to poor engine performance, increased friction, overheating, and even engine damage due to sludge buildup.

Signs include the check engine light, strange noises, smoke, rough idling, poor acceleration, or stalling.

Common signs include squeaking or grinding noises, reduced braking responsiveness, a spongy brake pedal, or vibrations when applying the brakes.
