About Us

Founded on the motto “today’s technology with yesterday’s values”, Martin's Automotive Center located in Mt. Vernon, IL, has been locally owned and operated by Colleen and Al Martin since 1985. They provide top quality, honest automotive repair, with a focus on proactive maintenance and engine diagnostics performed by ASE certified technicians, including our owner who is a Master Certified tech and certified L1 in Advanced Engine Diagnostics.

 

It started when Al was about 9 years old, helping his older brother’s friend rebuild the engine on his grandmother’s ‘63 Chevy Nova. He couldn’t get enough after that; Al has been taking classes ever since and continues his education and training to this day. The changes in automotive technology are not year to year or even decade to decade, they are month to month. Al always says, when a technician in this field stops learning because they think they know all there is to know, they might as well retire as they will quickly fall behind. Al’s leadership and example inspire his team. At Martin's Automotive Center, every technician attends classes regularly. This ensures that repairs are being done by a technician who is knowledgeable and skilled in the industry’s most current technology and practices for their vehicle. Martin’s Automotive Center has built a solid reputation for honesty and fine workmanship. Come in today!
