Akey Brakey knows the value of commitment to community—after all, the business has been owned and run by a local family and has been serving the community for more than a quarter of a century. In fact, it adds only seasoned, local mechanics to the team. And while its technology has advanced since opening in 1993, the shop maintains its focus on three facets of auto care:

• Auto repair: These seasoned experts perform a vast range of services, from simple tune-ups and oil changes to full-on engine overhauls.
• Tire services: In addition to balancing tire pressure—ensuring even wear and optimal gas mileage—they rotate tires and sell tires when time comes for replacing.
• Smog inspection: They carry out STAR-certified smog checks and electronically deliver the results to the DMV, and they can often diagnose and repair failed results.
