I was on vacation and my car was giving me some trouble. Chris took time out of his extremely busy day to take a look at my car with me and help me do a quick diagnostic on it to help me get going in the right direction. He didn’t have time to get it in the shop but he was willing to look at it and help as much as he could!
Damaged a tire driving on 17 and woke up next morning with 11psi. Got it to Sunset Automotive and he found the puncture, showed me it was nearly over the sidewall and plugged it so I could get around town while I waited for a new tire. They found good replacement tires and set me up for a next day appointment, got…
Chris and his staff are top notch! I appreciate his help and my car is running great!
Called Chris (owner) at 11am on a Friday when our van’s check-engine light came on. He told us to come on down, and had the problem identified and plan of action in place by noon. He worked through the afternoon and had us out and 100% taken care of same-day. He even came in $100 cheaper than he’d quoted. Super…
Transparent and honest, ended up not even charging me for quick diagnostics. Can't recommend enough. Thanks so much!
Was on vacation with the family and an issue with my truck arose. Called and was told to bring it in. Truck was hooked up to a diagnostic machine in less than 5 minutes after arriving. Couldn’t ask for better service and an honest appraisal of the problem.

Best mechanic in town. Honest, knowledgeable, and does quality work.
Called Chris (owner) at 11am on a Friday when our van’s check-engine light came on. He told us to come on down, and had the problem identified and plan of action in place by noon. He worked through the afternoon and had us out and 100% taken care of same-day. He even came in $100 cheaper than he’d quoted. Super nice, honest guy. We met Jared while we were there too, who helps our part time. And you could tell both of these guys work on cars because they LOVE it. They want to help out their community (and we travelers!) in the best way they can- by providing great customer service, fair prices, and a good sense of humor along the way. Can’t recommend these guys enough both for locals and visitors. Thank you, Chris!! Edited to add: Chris also inflated one of my tires that was below the recommended level and topped off our coolant. He goes ABOVE & BEYOND!!

My experience was great, definitely recommend !!!

Chris is the best in this area. He is honest - won't try to sell you something you don't need - and is very fairly priced. We have an older RAV4 that my daughter uses for college. It was having some issues but he brought it back to life. Looks like she will make it through her senior year with it.
