Point S Mike is my go-to mechanic for my 25 yr old pickup. Today he replaced the serpentine belt and tensioner. He’s good! Has worked on lots of other stuff on my truck. Point S allows him to stand behind his work. Yes!
Joe is honest, and always takes care of me. I have followed him from the other locations he has worked. You can't put a price on honesty. Mike is a top rated mechanic, there seems to be nothing he can't fix or figure out.
Great service! Staff and technician are professional and experienced. They are efficient and on time.
I really appreciate their honesty. It shows in their recommendations vs what Larry Miller routinely tries to get me to buy.
