Welcome to PETRA Automotive Center
Premium Automotive Service in Jacksonville, FL
We wanted to inform you that Petra Automotive Center will be temporarily closed for the next two months, starting 11/04/2024 until 01/20/2025. After careful consideration, we’ve made this decision to ensure we maintain the high quality of service that you’ve come to expect from us. Recent staffing changes prevent us from operating at our usual capacity, so we believe this temporary closure is the best way to uphold our standards.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding. For updates, please check our website and social media pages. In the meantime, if you need assistance, we recommend Firestone at 1008 University Blvd N, Jacksonville, Fl 32211.
Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to serving you again when we reopen.
Warm regards,
AJ Shahatit
