What We Do
Complete auto care,
from oil changes to overhauls.
We handle everything from routine maintenance to complex repairs. No job is too big or too small — we treat every car like it's our own.
Oil & Fluid Services
Synthetic, conventional, or blend — we'll recommend what your engine actually needs and top off all your fluids while we're at it.
Brake Repair
Squealing, pulsing, or soft pedal — don't ignore brake warnings. We inspect, repair, and replace with quality parts that last.
Suspension & Steering
Bouncing, pulling, or knocking over bumps? We'll diagnose your struts, shocks, and alignment so your car handles like new again.
Battery & Electrical
Dead battery? Flickering lights? We test, replace, and repair electrical issues — from simple swaps to tricky wiring problems.
Pre-Purchase Inspection
Thinking about buying a used car? Bring it to us first. We'll give you an honest report so you know exactly what you're getting into.

About Us
Not a chain shop.
Just good people doing good work.
Apple Automotive isn't a franchise with a call center three states away. We're right here on Cedar Lake Road, and most of our customers are people we've known for years — sometimes generations.
We started this business with a simple idea: treat every customer the way you'd want to be treated if your car broke down on a Tuesday morning. That means no upselling, no confusing jargon, and no surprise bills. If we wouldn't do it on our own car, we won't do it on yours.
Whether you're driving a ten-year-old commuter or a daily work truck, you get the same respect and attention to detail. That's not a policy — it's just how we were raised.
No surprise charges — we explain everything before we start
Quality parts from trusted suppliers
We treat your car like it's ours

Testimonials
What our customers
have to say.
"I've been bringing my cars here for years. They've never once tried to sell me something I didn't need. That's rare, and I appreciate it."
"They diagnosed my problem in 20 minutes when two other shops couldn't figure it out. Fair price, fast work, and they actually cared that I got home safely."
"Brought my truck in for a pre-purchase inspection on a used car I was considering. They saved me from a bad deal. Worth every penny of the inspection fee."
