Your brakes are your car’s most important safety feature.

Trust is earned. At Knight's Automotive, we:

Yes — staying on schedule for maintenance like oil changes, fluid checks, filters, and inspections prevents breakdowns and keeps your car running efficiently. Think of it like a health check-up for your vehicle. Our team can review your manufacturer’s recommendations and help you plan service intervals that match your driving habits in and around Ledgewood.

It depends on your vehicle and driving conditions, but most modern vehicles need an oil change every 5,000–7,500 miles. At Knight’s Automotive Repair, we’ll check your owner’s manual and recommend what’s best for your car. Whether you’re commuting daily through Roxbury or making weekend trips around Hopatcong, we’ll make sure your engine gets the protection it needs.

That little light could mean a lot — from a loose gas cap to a serious engine or emissions problem. Don’t ignore it. Bring your car into Knight’s Automotive Repair in Ledgewood, and we’ll run a computer diagnostic scan to pinpoint the issue, explain what’s going on, and recommend the right repair. Quick action can prevent bigger (and more expensive) problems later.

Don’t wait. Squeaking usually means worn brake pads, while grinding means the pads are gone and metal is contacting the rotors — both are serious safety concerns. Our certified technicians in Ledgewood will perform a full brake system inspection, replace the necessary components, and get you safely back on the road in no time.

Pricing differences often come down to labor rates, parts quality, and warranty coverage. At Knight’s Automotive Repair, we believe in fair, transparent pricing — you’ll always know what you’re paying for and why. We take the time to explain every estimate and use only trusted parts, so you get value and reliability every time you visit.

It depends on the job:

• Oil changes and brake jobs: same day in most cases
• Diagnostics: depends on the complexity of the issue
• Engine or transmission work: may take longer if special parts need to be ordered

We’ll always give you an upfront estimate and keep you updated along the way. Our goal is to get you back on the road safely — without unnecessary delays.

Yes, absolutely. We stand behind everything we do. All repairs at Knight’s Automotive Repair come with a parts and labor warranty, giving you peace of mind long after you leave our shop. If anything isn’t right, we’ll make it right — that’s our promise to every customer from Ledgewood, Roxbury Township, and beyond.
