Joy’s Service Center: Trusted Auto Repair in Wichita, KS

Three Generations of Automotive Excellence

Joy’s Service Center has been the cornerstone of reliable automotive service in Wichita, Kansas for over six decades. Founded by Carroll Joy in 1963, our family-owned business began with a simple mission: to provide honest, dependable auto repair services to the west side of Wichita. When Mark Joy took over operations in 1996 alongside his wife Annette, they continued this tradition of excellence while modernizing our approach to meet evolving customer needs. Today, the third generation has joined the family business, with sons Tyler Joy and Travis Joy bringing fresh energy and expertise to our team. This multigenerational commitment ensures that every vehicle receives the same careful attention and quality workmanship that has defined Joy’s Service Center for more than 60 years.

Expert Team Dedicated to Your Vehicle’s Health

Our experienced team combines decades of hands-on automotive knowledge with cutting-edge diagnostic technology to deliver comprehensive repair solutions. Mark Joy’s expertise, developed since his teenage years working alongside his father, guides our shop’s commitment to thorough, honest service. Annette Joy’s business acumen ensures smooth operations and exceptional customer care, while Tyler and Travis Joy represent the future of automotive repair with their fresh perspectives and technical skills. Our additional team members share the same dedication to quality that has made Joy’s Service Center a trusted name throughout Wichita. We utilize advanced tools like TruVideo technology to provide transparent communication, sending detailed video inspections directly to our customers so they can see exactly what their vehicle needs and understand our recommendations.
