Our Auto Repair Services in Columbia
Oil Changes & Preventative Maintenance
Regular oil service is the simplest way to protect your engine and extend the life of your vehicle. We handle oil changes, fluid checks, filters, and scheduled maintenance, plus Missouri state inspections, to keep small issues from becoming expensive ones.
ADAS Calibration
Newer vehicles rely on cameras and sensors for safety features like lane-keeping and automatic braking. GAPS is one of the only shops in the area with the equipment to calibrate these systems, which is why local dealerships send this work to us. After a windshield replacement, suspension work, or collision repair, we make sure your ADAS sensors read the road correctly.
Testing, Diagnostics, & Programming
When a warning light comes on, our technicians use advanced diagnostic equipment to find the real cause instead of just clearing the code. We also handle module reflashing and programming, including ECM, transmission, and body control modules, to keep your vehicle’s electronics running the way the manufacturer intended. You get a plain explanation of what’s wrong and what it takes to fix it, so there are no surprises.
Engine Repair & Replacement
From valve cover gaskets and oil leaks to complete engine replacements, our ASE-certified team has the experience to get your vehicle running right on domestic, foreign, and light-duty diesel engines alike.
AC & Heating
A heater that can’t keep up with a Missouri winter or an AC that quits in July makes every drive miserable. We diagnose and repair both, from refrigerant and compressor issues to blower motors and heater cores, so your cabin stays comfortable in any season.
Other Auto Services
Beyond the work above, our Columbia shop handles ignition and fuel system repairs, starting and charging issues, steering and suspension, and the day-to-day fixes that keep a vehicle road-ready. If you’re not sure what’s going on, give us a call and we’ll help you figure it out.
