Whether you drive a Chevy, Ram, or Ford diesel pickup, your truck is a quality engineered machine. At C&R AutoWerx in Lufkin, TX, we honor that quality - not only in our service, but in the parts, we provide as well.

Your car’s radio and headlights, plus a slew of other important functions, are powered by an electrical current generated by your vehicle’s engine. A vital part of generating electricity is having a place to store it while it’s not being used. This is where your car battery comes into play. The battery of your vehicle holds electrical energy while the car is off in order to help the engine turn over and create a spark to start internal combustion. Without a working battery, your car will not be able to start. If you allow our team here at C&R AutoWerx to perform proper maintenance, an average car battery can start your car reliably for roughly four years.

Does your car, truck, or SUV shift at the wrong moment? C&R AutoWerx in Lufkin has the solution. Shift point issues can manifest themselves in two ways; either your car will rapidly shift through several or all the gears at low speed, low rpm, getting to the highest gear before you’ve gained enough momentum, or shifts will be delayed, the transmission refusing to shift until far into the RPM range.

At C&R AutoWerx in Lufkin, TX, we see a lot of the same mistakes that cause a transmission to fail. With our help, you can avoid a preventable transmission failure and keep your car reliably on the road.

It may be time to retire your old engine, or perhaps you’re looking to boost your vehicle’s performance. Either way, you need a high-performance engine installed, and you need it done right. From bolt-in crate engines to professionally modified motors, C&R AutoWerx in Lufkin has a team of expert mechanics you can trust to do the quality job you’re searching for.

Whether your diesel pickup is a Dodge, Chevrolet, or Ford, it’s undoubtedly a well-made, heavy-duty machine. However, when an issue does arise, trust C&R AutoWerx in Lufkin to keep you on the road.
