They did diagnosed and fixed my vehicles wiring issue, regarding a dual battery set up. Bill is straight to the point about the estimate of labor and parts. Definitely going back there for my next project, which is adding a solar panel to my battery set up.

Overall good service. Only issue is the truck was there from 8am to 630pm & they couldn't replace the drag link. I have to schedule another whole day again next week to have that part replaced.

I've been going to Michael and company for years for all my mechanical needs. Mostly in emergencies when my 2008 Prius broke down unexpectedly. Philip processed my order in my car was back in my possession within 24 hours. I've had terrible experiences with other yards where arrogance and disrespect awaited me not so at this well located Auto service. There's nothing they can't repair and are up front and direct so you don't have to worry. The staff was friendly and welcoming and I have no reservations about getting my car back on the road securely and fully operational. The faulty water pump shorted out my entire instrumentation array and left the car powerless. I noticed other pierces present when I dropped off my car for repairs which was comforting. They know all about hybrids.
