From routine maintenance to complex repairs, our ASE-certified technicians have the expertise and equipment to handle it all. Serving West Columbia, Columbia, Lexington, Cayce, Irmo, and Forest Acres.
Your brakes are your vehicle’s most critical safety system. Our brake services include complete inspections, pad and rotor replacement, brake fluid flushes, and ABS diagnostics. If you hear squeaking, grinding, or notice your brake pedal feels soft, don’t wait—schedule a free brake inspection today.
Regular oil changes are the foundation of engine health. Our Valvoline oil change service includes a complimentary 28-point inspection that checks your brakes, tires, fluids, battery, and more. We offer conventional, synthetic blend, and full synthetic options to match your vehicle’s needs and your driving habits.
South Carolina summers are brutal—don’t suffer through them with a broken AC. Our technicians diagnose and repair all air conditioning issues, from refrigerant leaks to compressor failures. We’ll have you driving in comfort again, fast.
That check engine light can mean many things—from a loose gas cap to a serious engine issue. Our advanced diagnostic equipment reads trouble codes and pinpoints the actual problem, so you only pay for repairs you actually need. No guessing, no unnecessary parts.
Your tires are where your vehicle meets the road. We offer new tire sales from trusted brands, plus tire rotations, balancing, and flat repairs. Properly maintained tires improve safety, fuel efficiency, and ride comfort.
Misaligned wheels cause uneven tire wear, poor handling, and decreased fuel efficiency. Our precision alignment service restores proper wheel angles, extending tire life and improving your vehicle’s handling and safety.
Your transmission is one of the most expensive components in your vehicle. Regular maintenance—including fluid changes and filter replacements—can prevent costly failures. When repairs are needed, our experienced technicians handle everything from minor fixes to major rebuilds.
Your suspension system affects ride comfort, handling, and tire wear. We diagnose and repair shocks, struts, control arms, ball joints, and more. If your vehicle bounces excessively, pulls to one side, or handles poorly, it’s time for a suspension inspection.
Your cooling system works hard, especially in South Carolina’s heat. We provide radiator repairs, coolant flushes, thermostat replacements, water pump service, and complete cooling system diagnostics to keep your engine running at the right temperature.
A dead battery can leave you stranded at the worst possible time. We offer free battery testing to check your battery’s health before it fails. When replacement is needed, we install quality batteries and properly dispose of your old one.

“My AC went out in the middle of July and they got me in the same day. The shuttle service was a lifesaver, and the price was more than reasonable. Highly recommend!”
“I was quoted an astronomical price at the dealership for a brake job. Whetzel’s did it for a fraction of the cost and the quality was top-notch. I’ll never go anywhere else.”
