Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers Dedicated to Superior Auto Maintenance and Repair

“Locally owned and operated,” “Community service-oriented,” “Faith-based,” and “Family/Pet-friendly.” These are apt descriptions of Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers, owned and operated in Winston-Salem and Clemmons by Gary and Rebecca Howorka. Throughout their ten years in business, the Howorkas have experienced significant growth while becoming strong supporters of their community.

Their success led them to open a third location on Robinhood Road last year, in addition to their Hanes Mill Road and Clemmons operations. With these three convenient locations, they can service all areas of the Winston-Salem, Clemmons footprint with their comprehensive auto service and repair.

Their business has evolved, through growth and support of their corporate office, to become purveyors of competitively priced tires. They are now Michelin, BF Goodrich, and Uniroyal Direct Dealers. In addition to sales and service of tires, oil changes and NC inspections, Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers offers comprehensive (other than body work) automobile maintenance and repair. They have a dedicated staff of highly experienced automobile service managers and technicians.

Two Senior Managers, Travis Holland and Michael Leonard, head up their exceptional team. Travis has been with the company for ten years, providing a wealth of experience in overseeing the daily operations for all the locations, and spearheading the very successful opening of their Clemmons location. Michael leads the automotive technician effort, leveraging over 18 years of experience gained while working within the dealer environment for brands such as Mazda, Mitsubishi, Ford, Lincoln-Mercury and Hyundai. They have six additional automotive technicians with a plethora of experience in all makes and models of vehicles. Two of those are also senior technicians. Josh Wagoner, who had 11 years of experience with Toyota, and Christian Lerma, who literally grew up in the business and has the broadest background of makes and models. Michael and Christian provide strong oversight in ensuring the right issues with vehicles are identified and resolved successfully.
