These guys get the job done. They observe, report back, and charge fair. I wasn't even charge before when I thought my brakes were going out but apparently it's been so long since I had a new car. break squealing isn't just water or they're going out. Guy reassured, even has the same car and had the same issue, but…

Great staff, really reasonable prices, no hidden charges. They repaired our Chevy Sonic engine turbo charger water inlet with thermostat, gave me an estimate right of the bat and also gave me a military discount. This is a hidden gem. Thanks City Garage!!!

Brought my truck to City Garage for maintenance work. I am very happy with their honesty & integrity. They will only perform work that needs done and won’t try to up-sell. I will never use the “Dealership” again, City Garage has earned my trust and my business.
