From the Wrangler to the Grand Cherokee, Jeeps deserve a shop that knows them inside and out. Our Warwick technicians service every Jeep model with the right tools, the right parts, and 17 years of hands-on experience — at a fraction of dealership pricing.
Jeeps are built for Rhode Island. They handle salt-coated winters near Conimicut, beach trips down to Oakland Beach, and the rough patches of Route 117 better than just about any other vehicle on the road. But every Jeep — Wrangler, Grand Cherokee, Cherokee, Compass, Renegade, or Gladiator — has its own quirks. Knowing those quirks is what separates a shop that just works on Jeeps from a shop that actually understands them.
Primary Care Auto Repair has served Warwick, Cranston, East Greenwich, and the rest of Kent County for 17 years. Owner Jeff Roy and our technicians know the common Jeep issues by heart — death wobble on the Wrangler, water pump failures on the Grand Cherokee, oil cooler leaks on the Cherokee. We diagnose them quickly, fix them right, and skip the dealership prices. Most Jeep service jobs are done same day at our shop on Locust Ave.
Every Jeep service includes a free video inspection sent straight to your phone. You see the worn ball joint, the leaking transfer case, or the cracked exhaust manifold before any work begins. That kind of straight-up communication is why Jeep owners from Apponaug, Conimicut, Hoxsie, Cowesett, and Oakland Beach trust our Warwick auto shop with their off-roaders and daily drivers alike.
The shop sits at 33 Locust Ave, just off Post Road, minutes from Warwick Mall, T.F. Green Airport, and the Route 2 corridor. Easy access from I-95 and Route 117 makes drop-off simple from anywhere in Kent County. Whether your Jeep needs a quick oil change or major drivetrain work, you'll get straight answers and honest pricing every time.

Jeep owners know their vehicles aren't perfect — every model has its own pattern of issues. Here are the most common Jeep problems we diagnose and fix at our Warwick shop.
That violent steering shake at highway speed is unsettling and dangerous. Usually traces back to worn track bar bushings, ball joints, or steering stabilizer. We diagnose and fix the real cause.
The 3.6L Pentastar V6 has a known weak point at the water pump. We replace it with quality parts before it leaks coolant and damages the engine.
Hard shifts, hesitation, or warning lights on the 2014+ Cherokee often start with a software update or valve body service. We diagnose first, then fix.
Common on Pentastar V6 engines across the Jeep lineup. The plastic oil filter housing cracks, leaks oil into the valley, and creates a mess. We replace with a quality aluminum unit when possible.
The CVT in older Compass and Patriot models needs proper fluid service to last. Skipped maintenance is the top cause of failures we see at the shop.
Grinding when shifting into 4WD, leaks from the transfer case, or warning lights mean something needs attention. Common after years of off-road use or wet RI winters.
From routine maintenance to major repairs, our technicians handle every part of your Jeep. Wrangler, Grand Cherokee, Cherokee, Compass, Renegade, Gladiator — all models, all years.
Factory-spec oil and filters for every Jeep engine — Pentastar V6, Hemi V8, EcoDiesel, and 4-cylinder. Paired with a multi-point check on every visit. See oil change service.
Quality pads and rotors sized correctly for your Wrangler, Grand Cherokee, or whatever Jeep you drive. Heavy-duty pads available for off-roaders. See brake repair.
Fluid changes, leak repair, and shift mechanism service for Command-Trac, Selec-Trac, Rock-Trac, and Quadra-Trac systems. We service them all.
Track bar replacement, ball joint service, control arm bushings, and steering stabilizers. Critical for fixing Wrangler death wobble and worn-out Grand Cherokee suspension.
Water pumps, thermostats, radiators, and hose replacement. Pentastar V6 water pumps are a common job we see weekly. We catch leaks before engine damage starts.
Fluid service, valve body work, and software updates for Jeep transmissions including the 9-speed automatic and ZF 8-speed. See transmission repair.
Check engine lights, body modules, climate control, and electrical gremlins. Our scan tools talk to every Jeep module — no guesswork. See check engine light.
AC recharge, compressor replacement, heater core service, and blend door repair on every Jeep model. See AC & heat repair.
Get your Jeep's sticker handled at the same visit as service. Most inspections completed same day at our certified Warwick shop.
Jeeps get used hard. Beach runs to Oakland, snow drives through Coventry, daily commutes on I-95. We service them with the care they deserve — and skip the dealership wait.
See the worn ball joint, the leaking pump, the failed sensor. Every Jeep service includes a video walkthrough sent by text — full transparency.

Wrangler, Grand Cherokee, Cherokee, Compass, Renegade, Gladiator. Every generation, every engine, every drivetrain configuration.
A 1997 Wrangler TJ and a 2024 Grand Cherokee L are completely different vehicles. Different engines, different transmissions, different electronic systems. Some Warwick shops only handle the easy stuff. We service the full Jeep lineup — old and new — with the right scan tools, factory-spec parts, and the patience to diagnose properly. That's why so many Kent County Jeep owners send their friends our way.

Quick answers to the Jeep questions we hear most often at the shop.
Service costs depend on the job. Oil changes, brake jobs, and routine maintenance are typically much less than dealership pricing. Bigger repairs like water pumps or suspension work are quoted upfront after diagnosis. No surprises.
Yes. Death wobble is almost always traced to worn front-end components — track bar, ball joints, control arm bushings, or steering stabilizer. We diagnose the actual cause and fix it instead of throwing parts at it.
Yes. We work on every generation of Jeep — including the classic XJ Cherokee and TJ Wrangler. Older Jeeps have their own quirks, and our techs know them well.
No. We use factory-spec parts and proper scan tools to handle most Jeep service jobs — usually for less than dealership pricing. Your warranty stays intact when service is done by qualified techs with proper documentation.
Most maintenance and routine repairs are same-day service. Bigger jobs like transmission work, head gasket repair, or full suspension overhauls may need the vehicle for 2 to 5 days. We give a clear timeline at drop-off.
Yes. We service modified Wranglers and Grand Cherokees with aftermarket suspension, larger tires, and added accessories. Just let us know what's on the vehicle when you book.
