Brought in a car for a pre-purchase inspection. Andy, Jason and James all took time to explain in detail the inspection results and what one could expect from owning this car. I am thinking seriously about changing who maintains my car. Was impressed. PS the shop was spotless.

Had a regular 20,000 mile service for my 2021 Honda Passport. I waited on the vehicle while they serviced it and did a vehicle inspection. Service was very quick and cost of service very reasonable. Highly recommend Ace Body and Motor for vehicle service and repairs.
