Ajax did an amazing job with helping me to and from there to see the car and they handled it perfectly. They kept me in loop about the car and what it was going on. They helped me a check engine light and helped repair my car after a crash overall they did an amazing job. The customer service was amazing and the staff is all very nice.

Kelly and her team at Ajax are a breath of fresh air when it comes to auto shops. They're very organized and structured in their process and they never try to sell you anything you don't need. They're about education instead of treating you like you're an idiot and trying to force you to spend money unnecessarily.…
