Ideal Automotive has always been the best. They are able to communicate and fix issues promptly and thoroughly. They also have very competitive prices. I have tried many auto shops in the area over the years, but none compare to this shop. I endorse them 100%.
Excellent customer service. Capable and confident technicians. I’ve been taking my vehicles here for years, and it is so nice to have a trustworthy and honest mechanic!
Always great service at Ideal. It’s the only shop I take our vehicles to. Best prices, great customer service, and the technicians always warmly provide advice for best next steps.

After hearing about the great service that family members have received from Ideal, we decided to try them out. We were not disappointed! Had ALL fluids changed, new brakes, wipers, plugs, etc and are all set for winter. Work was done on time and at a very reasonable price. Highly recommend Ideal!
I bring multiple cars and trucks there. Also my mothers mini van. The 2 Josh's are great guys. Both honest and knowledgeable. I've been going there for 5 years now... I trust them 100%. Update to this post, I am still servicing all my vehicles here at ideal and I couldnt be happier. Thank you Josh
Great service! Josh was a true pleasure to work with and I will DEFINITELY be back and recommending Ideal to everyone I know. Great service, good prices, no pressure...five stars all the way.
Ideal automotive was absolutely wonderful for me. I brought my vehicle here after bringing it to the dealer 3 times without them fixing the issue, and Ideal had it fixed within one day. I'm so grateful for this mechanic! Thank you, guys!
