I took my Jeep Wrangler here to get my front brakes inspected because the passenger side was locking up. They quickly assessed the vehicle and let me know the issue. The part I needed was not available anywhere. They went above and beyond to find the part online and ordered it. I thought I would have to wait until a week later to get it fixed because of the shipping ETA. However, the part came sooner than expected and my car was ready by the end of the week. The price was affordable compared to another place I went to. I really appreciate Geiling Auto for their service and going above and beyond to provide me the quality service. I will be back for anything else that I need to fix on my Jeep. Thank you!
