I recently took my 2019 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring there for an A/C evaporator core replacement, and they exceeded all my expectations. An evaporator replacement is a very intrusive repair that requires completely removing the center console and…

This shop is very good and efficient. I brought my SUV in because they AC quit working. They were very quick to get my vehicle in the bay and diagnose it. I was here for less than an hour. The compressor was no longer working. They reached out to the warranty company about the repairs and in less than an hour it was…

Justin and his crew do a bang up job! Very honest, reliable and VERY AFFORDABLE. I have two vehicles Justin’s crew has worked on. Always been treated with the utmost respect. Never left me feeling like I’d been lied to or not gotten what I paid for. Can’t go wrong when you choose Justin’s Team at First Choice Auto.

They fit me in despite having a lot of other customers so I didn’t have to wait. The repair was quick and friendly. The AC worked, although not as cold as before. And Tisha called the next day to see how everything was working out, and when I told her she said they would take care of it. Good experience
