This is been one of the most pleasant experiences I've had dealing with a car repair shop. They are professional and really fast. There was only a 2-day turnaround and that was only because the part I need it for my vehicle had to be specially ordered. Josh was my service rep and he was outstanding! Kept me very…

Had a check engine light that turned out to be a bad thermostat. Made an appointment, got a call as soon as the part came in, scheduled an appointment for 3 days later and got the replacement done on the same day I brought my Jeep in. Great experience all around.

Technicians, not Mechanics. Premier1 was unable to diagnose a simple issue with my vehicle because the scanner did not provide them a code. A simple test drive would have demonstrated the issue. Their repair fixed nothing and I had to perform the repairs myself after I left.
