About

Central Tune-Up Carburetor & Electric was first opened in 1976 as a small specialty electrical & fuel systems shop. Owner Robert Service started in the car repair business at age 16, became a master certified technician in 1980, and took over operations at Central Tune-up in 1984. Over the years the business has evolved and grown and become a full service facility with eight full time staff.

New for 2006 Central Automotive Service Center will be our new company name. Everything remains the same except the name. The same talented staff, and the same great facility.

Our name change says a lot about how the auto repair industry has changed.
