Alaska is special and so are our maintenance intervals.
Alaska is special and so are our vehicle maintenance intervals. At METRO, we have created a data-base of intervals specific to Arctic conditions. Through text and email reminders, our team ensures that each vehicle is maintained on schedule. We use only performance parts designed for the cold. We also combine overlapping repairs that save you time and money.

Ensure that your vehicle is safe and reliable.
Next to brakes, struts are one of the most crucial safety concerns for vehicles in Alaska. Struts help mitigate frost heaves and give your car the ability to dodge obstacles like a moose in the road. Our tough climate prematurely wears the rubber seals on your struts, causing failure and alignment issues, making regular vehicle suspension inspection essential.

Metropolitan Garage began on a hillside in Goldstream Valley as an unfinished single-bay shop, attached to an unfinished house. It was really a modest garage with kids, ducks and chickens inside! As the shop grew, so did our staff, and as our family has matured, they have become an integral part of our expert team.Few can match our experience and skills in the automotive maintenance and repair industry. We serve our customers with efficiency, professionalism and friendly cheer. As a result, we love what we do because we know how to do great work and make people happy!
