About Us
Joe and Travis, Jim Hogg Avenue
Joe and his son Travis took over Century Automotive back in 2008 and have run it together ever since. Ask around and you will hear the same thing: people request Travis by name, because he actually explains what he finds under the hood instead of just handing over a bill.
We work on foreign and domestic cars, trucks, and the occasional classic. If something does not need fixing yet, we will tell you that too, and let you know what to keep an eye on instead of selling you a repair you do not need.

"I cannot speak highly enough of this shop. The first time we came here, we had shopped around for prices prior to coming and they were the most affordable. Travis is our go to mechanic. We trust his work, he is knowledgeable, upfront and friendly."

"My car shook whenever I hit the brakes, for years. Other mechanics blamed the tires. After taking my car to Travis, I finally got answers. He even made me aware of an issue with my oil pan I had no idea about, without trying to sell me a fix for it."

"I am honestly reluctant to review this shop because I want to keep it my own special secret. We bring both our foreign and domestic cars here and trust them completely. They will even go a step beyond and suggest a dealership visit when they feel it is the best option."

"Look no further than Century Automotive for your auto repair needs. I found this place on google 8 years ago and so glad I did. Travis is incredibly honest, fair and genuine. His pricing was usually the most competitive, but that did not mean quality was sacrificed."
