The mechanic arrived on time and gave his expert advice on the condition of my truck. I loved his honesty. I know that they care about their customers by the way in which I was treated.

I had them perform a pre-purchase inspection on a vehicle I was considering. They did a great job and thoroughly inspected the vehicle, finding a few issues that could have cost me thousands of dollars later. Thank you!

Lisa, thank you for your business and review! Please feel free to reach out to us for all your vehicle needs!..
This was an amazing service! We were about an hour away from buying a used car that looked perfect on paper. We decided to find a PPI real quick and Kenny and his son got out there within the next hour. Thankfully they did, because through their very thorough inspection they found out we would have been sinking double the asking price in to fixing all the things wrong, including a failing transmission. You can tell they know their stuff and really want to make sure buyers know what they are getting in to. We appreciated it so much that we purchased another inspection the following weekend for another used car.

Paid for a pre-purchase inspection, Kenny was out the following day. I felt like the guy genuinely cared. It’s almost like I was getting advice from my dad telling me why I should not buy a this specific 30k vehicle. As a father of three, whos every penny counts, I’m beyond grateful.
