Safety Is Important To Us
Things are changing so rapidly that it's hard to keep up. However, one thing is for sure, your car is an important tool to help maintain your health, safety and sanity. If you've been putting off any necessary repairs or maintenance, now is a good time to get it done. You don't want to be without a car.
We are adapting the shop and taking all the necessary precautions to ensure you feel safe. Besides the usual disinfecting precautions, wipes and gloves are also being used in every vehicle before and after the service. This includes your door handles, keys, steering wheels, knobs, seats, etc.
For the safety of you and our staff, we are encouraging you to allow us to pick up your vehicle for service and deliver it back to you when done.
In addition, we are discouraging any cash payments and prefer credit and debit payments to be made over the phone.
We are here for you and are trying our best to serve you in a safe and healthy manner.

We Are Now A Napa Car Care Center!
Marx Auto Center, the leading independent automotive repair shop in the greater New Bedford area, has joined forces with the largest network of independent mechanics in North America and is now a NAPA Car Care Center. NAPA only considers the best shops in the area to join their worldwide network. Requirements to join this prestigious network include abiding by a strict code of ethics, employing ASE certified technicians, and honoring a 24 month/24,000 mile warranty.
As a NAPA Car Care Center, Marx Auto Center can now offer customers many benefits that were out of reach before. In addition to remaining independently owned and operated by the Rego family, Marx Auto Center can also offer peace of mind, nationwide! No matter where your travels take you, any qualifying repair will be covered at more than 14,000 locations nationwide – more than any other automotive brand.
An additional benefit of being a NAPA Car Care Center is our new partnership with the NAPA EasyPay credit card. Financing your repair is no longer a problem! Benefits include an instant credit decision, 6 month promotional financing, and an extended warranty on parts and labor to 36 months or 36,000 miles on qualifying repairs.
Today’s vehicles are more advanced than ever. The technology that goes into each vehicle is constantly changing, which means the methods and tools needed to repair them are constantly changing too.

ASE certifications ensure that only the best mechanics, with the most up to date knowledge, have the essential skills to repair your car right the first time.
