Vehicle Winterizing

Sioux Falls, South Dakota winterizing services for cars, trucks and SUVs

Is your vehicle ready for the brutal South Dakota winters? It's never too soon to be prepared.

We are the Dependable Auto Repair Shop - Located on the west side of Sioux Falls, near the intersection of 15th St. and Marion Rd.


The elements in this area are very well known to be severe and ferocious.
The weather is not only brutal on the human body, but can also be harsh on any type of vehicle including SUVs, cars, and trucks.
You need to be prepared for winter, so you don't find yourself stuck somewhere on the road, or even in your driveway.
Our auto technicians have been living and working in this environment since they were born.
There is no calamity or situation that they haven't had to deal with when it comes to keeping any vehicle in top running shape, and also for keeping you and your family safe out there.
We have all faced snow storms, sleet, freezing rain and blizzards, not to mention the bitter cold.
Whether you drive in the city or in a rural area, it makes good sense to have your vehicle running the best it can be.
We know exactly what that means, and the importance of having a top running vehicle during the winter months in Sioux Falls, and anywhere in South Dakota.
