Scott’s Service & Auto Repair in Clendenin is more than just an auto shop--they are a business you can trust to perform excellent service at fair prices. This August they are celebrating their third year serving the Elk River community.

Scott Evans, owner, and his staff are very engaged with the Elk River Community. "This is home," said Evans. “We live here and we are part of this community. We even have people who have moved away from our community who still come back for us to take care of their vehicles. Their trust in us to take care of their automotive needs means everything to us.”

Evans and his excellent staff are proactive when it comes to your vehicle care so you can avoid costly repairs. Evans, along with shop foreman, Dan Hawkin and technicians Joe Smith and Terry Harper (retired, but not really gone), have over 100 years of combined experience to help ensure your vehicle is good-to-go, no matter where your travels may take you.

Hawkins said, “Here at Scott’s Service & Auto Repair, we are big on maintenance. Some people don’t understand how important maintenance is, and that is a huge part of what we try to promote.”

Proactive maintenance such as regular oil changes and tire rotations can extend the life of your vehicle and save you money!

Scott’s Service & Auto Repair recommends that you take some time to review this easy checklist before you hit the road:

Check Motor Oil Level

Schedule an oil change every 5,000-7,000 miles, depending on what your car manufacturer recommends and don’t run your vehicle over the recommended mileage. Also, check your water and antifreeze to avoid engine overheating.

Inspect Windshield Wipers

When was the last time you had them replaced? Double check your wipers and don’t forget to refill your washer fluid. Summer driving means a lot of bugs on your windshield and adequate washer fluid is a must.

Check Tire Pressure

Take the time to check your tires before you begin any trip. Make sure your tires’ air pressure is good and that you have good tread on all four tires. Scott’s Service & Auto Repair has extremely competitive prices on tires in case you need to purchase new tires. Just ask them for a quote!

Inspection Sticker

Is your car inspection up to date? Scott’s does car inspections so make sure you have a valid inspection sticker on your windshield.

Registration

Is your car decal on your license plate up to date? Avoid costly tickets by keeping your insurance and license registration current. See the Department of Motor Vehicles and your local insurance agent for more details.

Check Your Lights

Do a walk-around to ensure all of your lights are working. Turn on signals, brake lights, tail lights, fog lights: make sure other drivers can clearly see your lights to avoid accidents that could have easily been prevented with a simple walk-around.

Schedule Your Next Service

Schedule regular car tune ups. You can save money by making sure your car is in good running condition. Also, when your car is in good running condition you get better gas mileage.

Evans said, “Our shop specializes in everything. We are truly a full-service shop for cars, trucks, boats, low-boy trailers, tractors, motorcycles, and ATVs. We are one of the few places around that works on trailer wiring. We also do bigger jobs such as engine and transmission replacements.”

Hawkins said one of the most frequent repairs they encounter are with brakes. He advises, “When your brakes first start squeaking, bring it in as soon as possible. We live in West Virginia with a lot of hills and curvy roads that run alongside a river! Don’t ignore the squeak or you will find yourself replacing rotors, pads, and more in addition to your brakes.”

Scott's Service & Auto Repair saved me hundreds on new brakes, rotors and tires this past spring. I took my VW to a dealership and the quote they gave me was just not feasible. Scott's was recommended to me by a local in Clendenin, so I took it in and I'm glad I did! They were much more affordable, provided excellent service, had a very quick turn around and friendly staff! I will be bringing my car back and look forward to continuing to support this small local business!

Scott’s Service & Auto Repair offers excellent air conditioning service. Hawkins added, “Air conditioning is often a big problem to diagnose. We have special air conditioning equipment that injects a dye and shows our technicians exactly where the problem is located.” “Also, when it comes to tires, we have you covered,” said Hawkins. “We do alignment, rotate and balance tires, fix flats, and offer excellent prices on new tires.”
