Auto Repair Near Monrovia

Monrovia is about 15 minutes from the shop. Most of what we see from Monrovia is daily drivers and BMWs. Because of the distance, people usually come to us for jobs a local shop can't do, like STAR smog testing, factory-level programming or fleet account work.

Local Driving

What Driving in Monrovia Does to Your Car

A lot of Monrovia driving is the 210 in commute traffic, and that's hard on brakes and transmission fluid. The streets north of Foothill climb toward Monrovia Canyon Park. Coming back down those grades, you're riding the brakes, and the heat wears pads faster than the mileage would suggest.

The bigger reason Monrovia drivers make the trip is programming. On a modern car, a new key, a replacement control module or even a new battery on some models has to be coded to the car before it works right. A parts store can sell you the part but can't program it. That usually means a trip to the dealer. We use the factory software for most major brands, so we can do that work here.

Monrovia also has plenty of businesses running a few trucks or vans. We're an authorized service provider for Element Fleet Management and Enterprise Fleet Management, which keeps the paperwork simple for companies on those programs.

FAQ

Questions From Monrovia Drivers

Can you program a new key or a replacement module?

For most major brands, yes. We have the factory programming software, which covers key coding, immobilizer setup and module programming. Call with your year, make and model and we'll tell you before you drive over.

We run work vans out of Monrovia. Do you take fleet accounts?

Yes. We're authorized for Element Fleet Management and Enterprise Fleet Management, and we work with other commercial accounts too.

Why does my car need programming after a battery change?

Some newer cars need the new battery registered so the charging system treats it correctly. BMW is the common example. Skip it and the new battery can wear out early. We'll tell you if yours needs it.
