Auto repair shop interior with tools and vehicles

Your car
deserves
better.

Honest diagnostics. Quality parts. No surprises on the bill. Marion's trusted auto repair shop since day one.

What We Do

Services built
around your vehicle.

Engine Diagnostics

Modern cars speak in codes. We translate them — pinpointing the real problem so you're not paying for guesswork.

Brake Service

Squeaks, vibration, soft pedals — we inspect, repair, and replace. Your safety isn't something to negotiate on.

Oil & Fluids

Conventional, synthetic, high-mileage — we use what your engine actually needs, not what's cheapest on the shelf.

Transmissions

Slipping, grinding, delayed shifts — transmission work is precision work. We diagnose first, recommend second.

Suspension & Steering

Rough rides, pulling to one side, uneven tire wear — we restore the connection between your car and the road.

Auto Parts

OEM and quality aftermarket parts in stock. We source what you need — no markups, no runaround.

About Us

Marion's shop.
Local by choice.

L•B•J Auto Shop & Parts isn't a franchise or a chain. We're a small, hands-on shop on E Patrick Street where every customer knows our name and every vehicle gets treated like it belongs in our own driveway.

From routine oil changes to complex engine rebuilds, we bring the same attention to detail whether your car needs a five-minute fix or a five-day project. No upselling. No jargon. Just honest work at a fair price.

Built on trust.
Kept on time.

01

Transparent Pricing

We explain the work before we touch the wrench. You'll always know what you're paying for — no hidden fees, no surprise add-ons.

02

Experienced Hands

Years of experience across domestic and import vehicles. We've seen the weird stuff so you don't have to worry about it.

03

Quality Parts

We stock and source parts that meet or exceed manufacturer standards. Cheap fixes cost more in the long run — we know that.

Turned Around Fast

Your time matters. We schedule intelligently and communicate clearly so your car is back on the road when we say it will be.

"Dropped my truck off with a check engine light that two other shops couldn't figure out. L•B•J had it sorted the same afternoon. Fair price, no drama."
