Auto Service & Repair in South Burlington, VT

Welcome to The 4x4 Center Service Department; my name is Jason Carey, Service Manager. That means it is my job to ensure you have a great experience every time you visit us! If you look at our online reviews you will see many happy customers who feel that both they and their vehicle have been well taken care of at The 4x4 Center. Should you have any questions about your vehicle or service, please direct them my way.

I am proud of our team; most of our techs have been here for a long time and work together as a team - I believe our customers feel this too. Our technicians have decades of experience not only studying, training, and learning all the new technology that comes with today's newer vehicles but their experience is practical too. Armed with the most up to date technology and tools they understand the "whole vehicle" and perform any fix not only according to the text book but, based on their understanding of how all the vehicle systems work together - this means we're not just checking the "done" box, we're performing vehicle maintenance and repairs the way you would expect them to be done - right the first time.

What Sets Us Apart from Other Shops:

We are not a flat rate shop. This means the tech spends the time needed to give you the best result.
We do not cherry pick. Meaning we will fix whatever needs to be fixed. We won’t overlook a complex electrical issue just to grab an easy brake job.
We will tell you if your vehicle is beyond economical repair up front. We won’t fix something and then say “oh & by the way…..”

No surprises! At the 4×4 Center, we will always explain every job in detail to you and provide an estimate that you approve, before we go to work.

Do you have a more complex 4x4 vehicle?

An important feature of our approach to serving your 4×4 is to create a working “priority list” of maintenance needs by looking at the whole life of your vehicle. By having a better understanding of what's to come, you can take care of repairs in the most cost effective order. We’ll let you know what problems are real safety issues, which are likely to cause more damage (and/or a bigger bill) down the road if left unattended, and those items that you can elect to leave alone, or take care of at your convenience.

The technicians at The 4x4 Center work on complex off-road vehicles all the time. If you've heard "your tires are too large" that's an excuse for they don't know how to fix the problem. You don't find that here because we know there is a happy place between large tires, and drivability; our techs know where to look, and what to expect.

You expect more out of a 4×4 than you do a regular car. You can expect more out of the 4×4 Center, too.

Who is a 4x4 Center Customer?

The 4x4 Center services all kinds of vehicles & all kinds of customers. From a person looking for a simple oil change on a RAV4, to a fleet customer with a diesel engine issue on a work truck, we can give you great service at a fair price. Everyone gets treated the same – fairly & efficiently.
