Certified Auto Repair

What Certified Auto Repair does

Computune Certified Auto Repair (doing business as Certified Auto Repair) is a privately held, single-location full-service automotive repair shop founded in 1984 and headquartered at 1272 N 300 W, Provo, Utah. The business employs approximately 61 people, including ASE-Master certified technicians with an average of 17 years of experience, and operates a 40+ year-old local brand that has won the Best of State award for automotive repair five times. Its core offering covers the full mechanical stack — engine repair and replacement, transmission repair, brake repair, exhaust repair and welding, tire rotations, precision wheel alignment via the Hunter Hawkeye Elite system, emissions testing, AC and heater service, electrical diagnostics, steering and suspension, oil changes, tune-ups, filter replacements, and diesel maintenance — supplemented by Intoxalock ignition interlock installation. It also services twelve named vehicle brands (Toyota, Honda, Ford, Chevrolet, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, Lexus, GMC, Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep) through dedicated service pages.

The business serves two customer segments. The primary segment is individual vehicle owners across Provo and surrounding Utah County communities (Orem, Springville, Spanish Fork, Lindon, Pleasant Grove, American Fork, Lehi, Highland, North Provo), acquired through local SEO, Facebook, organic word-of-mouth, and a website with online appointment scheduling. A secondary segment is local fleet-dependent businesses that require recurring maintenance on work vehicles. Customer acquisition is direct-to-consumer; customers schedule online or by phone and bring vehicles to the shop, with free local towing, free nationwide roadside assistance for services over $25, and courtesy shuttle or loaner car service provided as conveniences. Differentiation is built on technician credentials, warranty strength (3-year/50,000-mile in-store and 3-year/36,000-mile nationwide honored at 30,000+ repair centers), and 40+ years of continuous operation under one brand.

Revenue is generated primarily through labor and parts markup on a per-job basis (transaction-fee model) plus direct parts sales, with quote-based pricing on most services and small promotional incentives (e.g., a $30 discount on brake service). The company has no disclosed external funding, no parent entity, no subsidiaries, and no franchise or chain affiliation; it is a bootstrapped, owner-operated local business. No API, mobile app, or proprietary software platform exists — operations are supported by standard scheduling tooling and the company's website. Distribution is entirely through the single physical shop plus inbound mobile/towing response.
