Best Auto Repair Shop Around! I just moved to town and need a mechanic who can work on both GM and German and Japanese imports. Lee is very skilled and knowledgeable, and he has taken great care of our cars. My wife and I are very satisfied with his work. Five stars for highly recommended local mechanic!!

I was in a bad situation when my Jeep fuel injector went out. I called around and could not get in anywhere. Lee saved the day and got me in the next day. He fixed it quickly and kept me updated along the way. He also has great pricing. I will definitely be using him for the rest of my car needs!

Damaged my van! Tried to jack it up in the wrong place. Not very knowledgeable if he would try and jack up a vehicle in that location. Had my vehicle there to get the steering box fixed. My vehicle uses a hydraulic system for the steering and brake system. He put transmission fluid in where power steering fluid was…

I highly recommend going here!! Lee was able to fix the air conditioning and the b-pipe for an incredible price within a day!! I had tried two other places beforehand, the dealership and another auto-shop, neither could do what Lee did. I will be going out of my way to go back.

Damaged my van! Tried to jack it up in the wrong place. Not very knowledgeable if he would try and jack up a vehicle in that location. Had my vehicle there to get the steering box fixed. My vehicle uses a hydraulic system for the steering and brake system. He put transmission fluid in where power steering fluid was needed. 200 miles later my power steering pump and master cylinder are bad. Definitely do not use this guy!! He gave me a price to do the job and was mad at me about it. I went with the price that was given. So he used what he had on hand to put fluid in where it doesn’t belong instead of calling me to let me know that he needed more power steering fluid as I had already supplied four quarts.The one picture is the red transmission fluid taken out of my master cylinder. The power steering fluid is clear not red. It smells like transmission fluid also.

Mr. Donald, I appreciate you for taking the time out to leave a review. I apologize for the fact that I was not able to meet your expectations. If you are able to look at my previous reviews, you will see that I do not jack any of the vehicles up, they are put on a lift that pushes them up. I am a small business owner that takes pride in the work that I do and invest in my equipment so that problems as such do not occur. I did what was asked of me and fixed the problems that were previously damaged elsewhere. I hope that if you decide to return in the future, I will be able to better meet your expectations. Thank you for your business! -Motor Man
