Great honest people
I had a great experience with this automotive shop. Their pricing was transparent and fair, and the communication throughout the process was excellent. Everyone was friendly, professional, and easy to work with. They were also able to provide fast, same-day service, which I really appreciated. Overall, great service…
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…
I arrived early for my appointment and got my car in a little early, which was a nice surprise. Very professional and friendly staff. I had my oil changed twice there and they do a complete check and let me know about additional concerns that I needed to address. No hard pressure to do anything immediately.
I was looking for looking for a long time to find a good car repair shop and I think I found it. I brought both my cars there Toyota RAV4 and Kia Seltos. Both repairs were done quickly and with fair price. I like the quality of the service, speed, and honesty with upfront cost. Great and thorough inspection, quickly…
10/10 would recommend. I was really impressed with the service I received here. The team took their time walking me through what was going on with my car and even gave me a clear list of future maintenance items—without pushing me to do everything right away. They answered all my questions, explained things in a way…
I'm very impressed by the employees at this shop. They are qualified and explain issues to me so I understand the issues with my car. My husband & I will not go to another shop, we've been going to ideal for years.
I wish he worked later one night, Saturday a m .
Staff helpful and friendly. The work was done well and quick.
As usual, Josh and the team are always extremely nice and responsive to our needs. Service is prompt and reliable with great rates. I always get an honest opinion on my cars as to their service needs and they leave it up to me to decide to move forward with any repairs but keeping me in the know as to how soon the…
Friendly peeps/ honest service
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%.
These people do a great job, they’re on time and affordable. I highly recommend them to anyone
I love Ideal they make my experience fixing my car much easier and don't try to over sell more then what I need Thanx
Fast and easy oil change and tire repair. Didn't try and upsell me on anything and price was great.
This place is great! They’re always able to get me in quickly and priced fairly.
They exceeded my expectations from the first phone call and every step along the way until the repair was complete.
Honest and reliable work
I will never go to any other location for oil changes. Literally the best auto shop I have ever been to. They always have coupons on their website even with the really good prices. Customer service is always amazing!
Even though they very busy when I stopped in they were able to take a quick look and diagnose my car troubles. Luckily it was minor and they fixed me up right away at a reasonable price. Highly recommend this shop, honest reliable service.
