Cityline Automotive is a full-service independent shop built by two friends who got tired of watching the industry take advantage of drivers. Engines, transmissions, brakes, A/C and diagnostics — done right the first time, with OEM-quality parts and a 2-year / 24,000-mile warranty.
Most shops send you somewhere else the moment the job gets complicated — or quote you a part you don’t need. We don’t. Engines, transmissions, brakes, electrical, A/C and diagnostics all happen here, with a team that already knows your vehicle.
Cityline was founded specifically to push back on the practices our owners watched for years — upsells, phantom repairs, vague invoices. You get the real diagnosis and the real number, every time.
From preventive maintenance to serious mechanical failures, our technicians have seen it. Talented, passionate, and genuinely proud of the work that leaves the bay.
Most repairs are backed for 2 years or 24,000 miles — twice the industry norm. We can offer it because we don’t cut corners on parts or labor.
We don’t quote a cheap part to win the job and see you back in six months. Better than dealership quality at a fraction of dealership pricing.
Every car that comes through gets a complimentary multipoint check so nothing unsafe leaves the lot. No charge, no obligation, no pressure.
An independent shop on Regency Drive in Wylie, serving Sachse, Murphy, Lavon, Plano and the rest of Collin County. The person who answers the phone works here.
Pick what’s happening with your vehicle and we’ll take you to the right page — or just call and describe it. We’re good at translating “it makes a weird noise.”
Cityline Automotive was founded by two friends with a shared passion for automotive work — and a shared frustration with how often drivers get taken advantage of. The goal was simple: build the shop they’d want to take their own families’ cars to.
That means telling you when a repair can wait. It means using OEM-quality parts even when a cheaper one would pad the margin. And it means standing behind the work long after you’ve driven off.
“If you believe in unlimited quality and act in all your business dealings with total integrity, the rest will take care of itself.”— Frank Perdue · the standard we run the shop by
From a 20-minute oil service to a full engine or transmission job, it’s handled in-house — by the same technicians, on the same warranty.
Timing, gaskets, misfires and full rebuilds — diagnosed before anything gets quoted.
ExploreSlipping, harsh shifts and warning lights — diagnosed honestly, not assumed.
ExplorePads, rotors, calipers, struts and alignment — measured and shown before quoted.
ExploreRecharge, leak detection, compressors and blend doors — the leak gets found.
ExploreLive data, circuit testing and root-cause diagnosis — not a parts-cannon.
ExploreOil, filters, tune-ups, belts and 30/60/90k factory services to manufacturer spec.
ExploreNo-starts, parasitic draws, alternators and wiring — traced, not guessed.
ExploreFree multipoint on every visit, plus pre-purchase inspections before you buy.
ExploreThe tooling matters — but so does the person holding it. Here’s what backs up every job that comes through the shop.
Bi-directional diagnostics and live data across domestic, Asian and European platforms.
Heavy mechanical stays here instead of being farmed out to a third party you never meet.
Every inspection and repair is documented, so your service history follows the car.
We spec the part the vehicle was engineered for — not whatever’s cheapest that day.
Nothing leaves on a “should be fixed.” We confirm the symptom is gone before you’re called.
No layers between you and the person who actually worked on your vehicle.
Three very different experiences for the same repair. Here’s the honest breakdown.

Comparison reflects Cityline’s stated warranty and parts policy against common industry practice. Dealer and chain terms vary by location.
Most repairs at Cityline are covered for 2 years or 24,000 miles — roughly twice what you’ll be offered almost anywhere else. We can put that in writing because we use OEM-quality parts and we verify the fix before you’re called to pick up.
If something isn’t right, bring it back. We’ll do everything we can to make it right — that’s the whole point of building the shop this way.
No mystery invoices, no surprise line items. Four steps, and you approve everything before a wrench turns.
Tell us what the car is doing. We’ll let you know whether it’s a same-day drop-off or something to schedule.
We find the actual cause and run a complimentary multipoint inspection while the vehicle is with us.
You get the findings and the number in plain English — including what can safely wait. Nothing proceeds until you say go.
OEM-quality parts, road-test verification, and 2 years / 24,000 miles of coverage behind the work.
“They told me the noise I was worried about was a heat shield and charged me nothing to bend it back. Any other shop would have sold me a repair. That’s why my whole family goes here now.”
“Dealer quoted me nearly double for the same transmission work and couldn’t take the car for a week. Cityline had it back to me in three days with a two-year warranty.”
“Check engine light had been on for months and two shops just cleared the code. These guys actually diagnosed it, fixed it once, and it hasn’t come back.”

Most repairs performed at Cityline are covered for 2 years or 24,000 miles, whichever comes first — covering both the OEM-quality parts we install and the labor behind them. Some wear items and customer-supplied parts are excluded; we’ll tell you upfront which category your repair falls into.
We service most domestic and import vehicles — cars, trucks and SUVs. If your vehicle needs something outside our scope, we’ll tell you honestly rather than take the job and figure it out later.
