Facility Overview
WV Auto Center LLC is conveniently located at 2700 East Dupont Avenue, Suite 20, within the bustling Quincy Center commercial plaza in Belle, West Virginia (Kanawha County). Operating as a full-service automotive repair and tire facility, the business shares an expansive, open-air surface parking plaza offering roughly 500 paved vehicle spaces. The lot features wide two-way traffic lanes, generously sized standard parking bays, and direct exterior storefront access. Because the facility is entirely ground-level and open-sky with zero overhead structural barriers, there are no vertical clearance limits. Drivers operating compact cars, full-size sedans, heavy-duty pickup trucks (such as Ford F-Series, Chevy Silverado, and Ram models), lifted 4x4s, high-roof cargo and passenger vans, or utility trailers can navigate and park here with complete ease.

Visitor & Driver Tips
When arriving at WV Auto Center LLC for vehicle maintenance or repair drop-offs, follow the posted signs toward Suite 20 and park in the designated bays closest to the service office to check in with the service advisor. If dropping off a vehicle before regular business hours, utilize the secure key drop box located near the main entrance.

Parking across the Quincy Center lot is free for patrons, and spaces are plentiful throughout the entire business week.
