Automotive services include, but are not limited to, top, body, and upholstery repair; exhaust repair; glass replacement; transmission repair; and general repair. Many gasoline stations provide service garages as well, although some limit their services to oil changes and tune-ups. Automotive service operations cater to the do-it-for-me (DIFM) consumer segment.
