What We Handle
From a Warning Light to a Full Repair
One shop for the everyday maintenance and the head-scratchers, on the cars and trucks people in the Valley depend on every day.
Computer Diagnostics
Check-engine light on, or a code you can't make sense of? We plug in, read it properly, and tell you what's actually going on, not a guess.
Pre-Purchase Inspections
Thinking of buying? We run it through the paces, take it on a road test, put it on the lift, and check for leaks and codes so you know what you're getting before you pay.
Repair & Maintenance
From simple fluids and oil service to turbo work and engine issues, on domestic and import vehicles. Done right, explained plainly.
Brakes & EVAP Systems
Brakes that feel off, or an emissions and EVAP fault you need handled? We diagnose it and fix what needs fixing, not what doesn't.
Batteries & Electrical
Hard starts and dead batteries sorted, with quality batteries installed here at the shop and the electrical gremlins tracked down.
Suspension & Struts
Rough ride, clunks, or worn struts? We get your suspension back to where it should be so the miles go easier.

The Shop on Scoon Rd
We Would Rather Earn the Next Visit
We are CARS Automotive, the shop folks around Sunnyside know as Contreras Auto Repair. Joseph and the crew run it the same way every day: we look at your vehicle, we tell you what it actually needs, and we explain it in plain language before we touch a thing.
No overselling, no surprise add-ons. If something can wait, we say so. If it is urgent, we tell you that too. It is why people drive in from out of town for our inspections, and why so many of our neighbors will not take their cars anywhere else in the Valley.
We diagnose first
then we fix

“They ran the car through the paces, took it on a road test, checked it on the lift, and called us back with an honest appraisal. I can't say enough about how friendly and reasonable they are.
