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…

I found these guys through local social media and then I got a coupon in the mail and let me tell you these guys did not disappoint. Loved the pick up from them to get my car when they were done. Stayed in communication via text , went the extra mile to look at a potential problem and even sent me a picture. I’ll be going back!
