Expert Services So You Get More Worry-Free Miles

At Metropolitan Garage, we believe that exceptional service goes beyond just fixing cars—it's about caring for clients. From routine maintenance and tune-ups to specialized repairs for hybrid and electric vehicles, our ASE-certified technicians are dedicated to delivering top-quality care tailored to your needs. We’ll keep you updated through the entire servicing process, letting you know what’s urgent and what can wait so you can make the right decisions for your vehicle and your wallet.

 

Regular Auto Maintenance & Tune-Ups

Keeping your vehicle in top shape requires regular maintenance and tune-ups. We focus on preventative car care, catching minor issues before they become major problems, ensuring your car runs smoothly and efficiently for more worry-free miles.

Tires, Wheels & Brakes

Your vehicle’s performance heavily depends on the condition of your tires, wheels, and brakes. From tire rotations and wheel alignments to brake pad replacements, we’re here to keep these critical components in excellent condition.

Engine & Transmission Repair

Whether you’re dealing with strange noises, leaks, or performance problems, we have the tools to get you back on the road. We constantly update our tools and training, allowing our mechanics to efficiently and accurately pinpoint evolving issues.

Front End Repair

Modern steering is uniformly power-assisted, which adds both electronic and mechanical components to the complex gears and pulleys that steer your car. We maintain and repair front end components to keep you in control on the road.

Timing Belt Repair

Timing belt failure can lead to serious engine damage. Our technicians have the experience and precision needed to ensure your timing belt is properly installed and tensioned, helping to avoid costly repairs and extend the life of your engine.

Toyota Speciality Services

If you're a Toyota owner in Fairbanks, choose Metropolitan Garage for top-notch repairs. We don’t just fix cars; we understand your vehicle's unique needs and build a relationship with you. Our approach involves getting to know your driving habits and budget.

Hybrid & Electric Vehicles

METRO is a dually-certified Hybrid and EV shop, helping Fairbanks Hybrid and EV owners keep their vehicles operating efficiently. Our staff knows exactly what to look for to maintain sensitive electrical systems in our harsh Alaskan environment.

Subaru Head Gasket Replacement

Subarus are known for safety and reliability, however, many Subaru makes from the 90s and 00s suffer from a chronic head gasket defect. This defect requires the care of a Subaru specialist, like our technicians, to prevent leaks and engine failure.

Fleet Maintenance

We enable organizations to outsource responsibility for vehicle health and readiness. We organize and execute individual vehicle care plans, documenting every visit and maintaining clear communication between fleet managers and staff.

Suspension & Strut Services

Most drivers don’t realize they need suspension repairs until they get a tire change. Our mechanics are proactive when looking for signs that one or more of your suspension and strut components have deteriorated and need to be replaced.

With modern cars, routine maintenance can include anything from a simple drain-and-fill oil change to a new battery or a new timing belt. In Fairbanks, routine maintenance means routine inspections by a trained and professional Alaskan mechanic. Our staff knows exactly what to look for when tuning up a car or truck that needs to handle our harsh environment. Through regular inspections, each METRO mechanic gets to know the individual customer’s vehicles. We track and make detailed notes about rates of decay or wear and flag upcoming work.

For Alaska, this question is more accurately stated as, “What is the easiest, most cost-effective car to maintain?” Alaska’s severely harsh climate takes a toll on all materials from plastics to metals. Regular maintenance is what makes things last. The Toyota family of cars is still the easiest and most cost-effective car to maintain. When we see cars with 300K miles on them, they are inevitably Toyota trucks that have been meticulously maintained. Toyotas are durable and dependable. They are easy to get parts for throughout the pandemic as well.

Though we work on nearly all makes and models of cars and trucks, our team specializes in providing expert service for these Japanese makes. Whether your vehicle needs a new head gasket or your timing belt is scheduled to be replaced, no one matches our team’s expertise with these makes. We’re also a dually-certified Hybrid and EV shop, specializing in caring for sensitive electrical components in sub-freezing Alaskan weather conditions.

An ASE-certified technician is a professional mechanic who has passed the rigorous certification exams administered by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE). ASE certification is a widely recognized industry standard that demonstrates a technician’s competence, knowledge, and skills in various areas of automotive repair and service.

To become ASE-certified, a technician must have a combination of relevant work experience (typically at least two years) and pass one or more of ASE’s exams, which cover specific aspects of vehicle repair. ASE certifications must be renewed every five years to ensure that technicians stay up-to-date with the latest automotive technology and practices.
