Tony and the team were amazing. I lost my husband a year ago, but he always spoke highly of everyone at Solar Automotive. So this was all new to me, but they made it so easy and seamless - even when I forgot to inform them about something. I was received with empathy and immense kindness. My car now feels brand-new…

Tony and his crew are HONEST AND DEPENDABLE. Although Solar is my go-to mechanic, I had to go somewhere else recently and let’s just say Tony kept them from squeezing thousands $$$ out of me. All their work is superior quality and they don’t use after market fall-apart parts.

Tony and everyone at Solar Audio are great. My job turned out to be bigger and more complicated than anticipated and they kept me informed and explained everything well. I highly recommend them.

After a scary incident with my water pump breaking while I was driving on the 25, Solar got me in immediately and did an incredibly thorough job diagnosing what the problem was. Their customer service and explanation of the problem in layman’s terms was second to none. The quote included pictures and educational…

This was my first visit to Solar Auto and I will be returning for all other services on my vehicles. They were friendly, honest, competent, and priced fairly. They actually suggested I wait and not repair an issue another shop said was critical. They didn't have to as they could have just gone along with the other…
