Ace Body and Motor is exactly what you want and hope for in a auto repair shop! Honest, friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable! They will not push "extra" work on your vehicle. They explain what they recommend and let you, the customer, decide. Plus they have loaner cars to use while your's is being worked on. I HIGHLY recommend!

Truly excellent service. Dropped my vehicle off for quite a few repairs. They were patient and honest and talked through the maintenance strategy on the phone. And it was a huge success - will definitely be a repeat customer.
