Owner. Operator.

Jim Cottone

I started Car Pen Automotive to build the kind of shop I would trust with my own car: honest, skilled, and treated like family. When you are here, you are not a number. You are our neighbor.

Good to know

Simple answers
before you book.

Car care should feel clear, not confusing. A few quick answers to common questions.

Do I need an appointment?

Appointments are recommended so we can give your vehicle the right amount of time and keep the day moving.

How do I know if I need an alignment?

If your car pulls, your steering wheel is off-center, your tires wear unevenly, or the ride feels unstable, it is a good idea to have the alignment checked.

Do you work on all makes and models?

Yes. Car Pen Automotive services foreign and domestic vehicles across routine maintenance, diagnostics, brakes, alignments, and general repairs.
