Ideal automotive is a very nice smaller shop. I especially like how they talk you through the repairs and explain things so you can understand what needs to be done. I’ve always had great service and quick turnaround times. I don’t always feel that way at big dealerships, I’ve always gotten decent pricing on repairs…
