Brown's Auto Center | Auto Repair

Repairs today for a better tomorrow!

Reliable Auto Repair in Roanoke, TX Since 1987

For nearly four decades, Brown’s Auto Center has built a reputation that rides on honesty, integrity, and dependable workmanship. Formerly operating a large facility in Grapevine, we’ve since downsized to a more personal setup in Roanoke—where it’s just the owner and one trusted mechanic delivering top-quality repairs with a handshake-style commitment to service.



We specialize in general auto repair for all makes and models—everything except transmissions and diesel engines. While we don’t work on diesel powertrains, we’re happy to refer you to a local expert you can trust. Whether it’s your daily driver or weekend cruiser, we treat every vehicle with care, precision, and pride.

Founded in 1987, Brown’s Auto Center has always focused on doing the job right—no gimmicks, no pressure, just solid, trustworthy work. After decades in a larger Grapevine location, we made the move to a smaller shop in Roanoke, Texas. That shift wasn’t a step back—it was a return to the roots of what makes auto repair meaningful: one-on-one service, familiar faces, and doing what’s right for the customer every time.



When you bring your vehicle here, you’re not just a number—you’re part of the neighborhood.
