Fantastic experience. I showed up 2 hours after they opened for an oil change and my car was done in less than 30 minutes. There were 2 people ahead of me. I will definitely come here again! Bring cash because you get a discount.

Resurrection Auto is great! They were able to get my inspection done in just 15 mins, did me a favor and printed off my updated insurance paperwork since I only had the digital card, and didn't try to scare me into any upsells I didn't need (very common as a single woman going into garages). I'll definitely be going back next time I need a mechanic or inspection.
