Friendly service. Wait area clean and quiet. Came on referral from family as Solar has reputation for honesty. I almost hate to give these folks a good recommendation because then everybody in town will want to come and I won’t be able to get an appointment! They are so nice to work with. I appreciate the quiet…

I have my Lexus serviced at Solar Automotive for a total engine replacement and a full brake job. I am so pleased with the results. The quality of service was more than I expected and the downtime was minimal. They really go the extra mile to make sure everything is done right.

They were able to get me in on a shorter notice and did a fantastic job! The work was completed on time and they sent me emails and texts with their findings as the work progressed throughout the day. Would highly recommend them to anyone. Very professional and courteous from start to finish!
