Mike and his crew did great job on my vehicle. This shop was recommended by Costco and a good friend of mine. Mike explained which things needed to be addressed immediately and which ones can be addressed later. The shop is clean and organized. So far, my steering feels sturdier with the repairs that were completed. I’ll be back.
