Not only did they get my forerunner up and running after another mechanic had made quite a mess of it but they detailed my engine just because and with 210,000 miles on it, it is never looked so clean. Great customer service and satisfaction is absolutely guaranteed.

Quick and easy service! They got my exhaust leak fixed so I'm back making boost, it sounds way better and has a better tone overall. O2 wiring was tucked away safely and I couldn't be happier especially with the price for these 2 simple fixes! It's held up strong for half a month and I don't see it failing anytime soon. Definitely coming back, thanks guys!

Grant and Marty are always communicative with us on the status of our repairs and our options. They will go above and beyond to ensure we feel like we get our money's worth but MOST importantly they will not give a vehicle back without triple checking its done perfectly. You won't be disappointed with this shop!

I visited Solar after making many calls around town to find out about getting a full diagnostic check done on my Tucson. While Solar wasn't the lowest price I could find for the diagnostic it was DEFINITLY the most detailed and thorough I've ever seen so I was more than happy to pay a little more for the service.…

Matt not only is a fantastic mechanic he offered and trailered my YJ to his shop. He is working hard to find parts and putting together my 1990 Jeep. I’m so fortunate to have a knowledgeable mechanic with meticulous skills to tackle this project. Thank you! Cheers and hit the trails🍻
