Ask for itemized work orders. They told me my engine would be replaced, but never did, they didn't replace my oil pan seal either, definitely over priced, and the front office lady is rude when you have two vehicles for service. Most of the mechanics are knowledgeable, and they do good work. I personally…

When you find a good, honest auto mechanic, you stop looking. P&M is the one that keeps you coming back. While others told me I needed brakes so they could sell me some, P&M told me I still had life in them. I really appreciate this team.

Honest, dependable and reliable work. I am highly impressed with these folks. I would recommend them for any repair work. They will only do what is necessary and will tell you if you do not need something done on your vehicle. Update! I brought my new old S10 in with steam blowing all over. They fixed it very fast…

Have used P&M a few times in the last few years. They have always been friendly, explain things in great detail, call with what the technician has inspected and what they think should be done, have never tried to pressure a repair, will sometimes even recommend waiting on something until a few service intervals…
