What We Do

Complete auto care,
from routine to complex

Whether it's an oil change or an engine overhaul, we've got the skills, tools, and honesty to get you back on the road safely.

Engine Diagnostics

Check engine light on? We'll pinpoint the issue with advanced scan tools and give you a clear, jargon-free explanation of what's wrong and how to fix it.

Brake Service

From squeaky pads to complete brake system rebuilds — we inspect, repair, and replace to keep your stopping power reliable in every condition.

Oil & Fluids

Conventional, synthetic, and high-mileage oil changes plus full fluid checks and top-offs. Quick, affordable, and done while you wait.

AC & Heating

Don't sweat the New Jersey summers or freeze through the winters. We diagnose and repair climate control systems so your cabin stays comfortable year-round.

Transmission

Slipping gears, rough shifts, or warning lights — our transmission experts diagnose and repair both automatic and manual systems with precision.

Pre-Purchase Inspection

Thinking about buying a used car? We'll give it a thorough once-over so you know exactly what you're getting into — before you hand over any cash.

About Pete's Auto

A local shop that remembers your name — and your car

Pete's Auto Service has been a staple in the Lodi community for over 15 years. What started as a one-bay operation has grown into a full-service repair center, but the philosophy hasn't changed: treat every customer like a neighbor and every car like it belongs in the driveway.

We service all makes and models — domestic and import — from daily commuters to weekend projects. When you pull into our lot on Vreeland Street, you're not a ticket number. You're someone we want to see again because you trusted us to do it right.

Customer Stories

What our neighbors say

Real feedback from real people who trust us with their vehicles.

"Brought my truck in for a weird noise I'd been ignoring. Pete's diagnosed it the same day, explained exactly what was wrong, and had it fixed by afternoon. Fair price, no drama. That's rare these days."

M
Michael R.
Lodi resident

"I've been bringing my cars here for years. The team is always friendly, they explain things in plain English, and I've never once felt like I was being sold something I didn't need. Highly recommend."

S
Sandra L.
Regular customer

"Had a pre-purchase inspection done on a used SUV I was considering. They found issues the seller didn't disclose and saved me from a bad deal. Worth every penny — and then some."
