Auto Repair in Opportunity

Though it originally sold only two things—audio products and wireless phones—Car Toys has gradually expanded its repertoire. Today, with 50 locations spread across four states, electronics-certified technicians install everything from Alpine in-dash navigation units to phone-integration systems that sync iPhones, Androids, and tin cans to car stereos. Meanwhile, in the garage, detailing technicians meticulously spruce up cars inside and out, using deionized water, paint-friendly shampoos, and high-quality wash mitts to protect against scratches, swirls, and water spots. The team also sweeps through interiors with vacuums, hot-water extractors, and ozone deodorizing treatment, which kills airborne bacteria and nasty smells in one fell swoop.

Authorized as extended-warranty repair centers, Lloyd's Automotive populates its three full-service, AAA-approved garages with ASE-certified technicians. Mechanics walk cars through full-spectrum maintenance services, from routine oil changes and battery servicing to full engine overhauls and decoding cryptic vanity plates. Ensuring no driver is left stranded, Lloyd's delivers customers to and from work in a convenience shuttle and attends to roadside breakdowns with available rescue towing. The garages’ doors also stay open during convenient Saturday hours.

Discount Auto's compact, understated building brims with sleek blue siding but little hint of the mechanical prowess waiting inside. A cache of shimmering chrome auto parts greets clients when they walk through the door. Dexterous mechanics grab these parts to fix jalopies or fine-tune squeaking engines until they hum three-part arias with fan belts and carburetors and the engine belt that most resembles Pavarotti’s beard.
