Maricela made my day yesterday when we brought our Ford in for regular service. I had never met her before, but what a wonderfully bright personality, she really, genuinely cares about her customers and the quality of work done at Sunset! We have been with Sunset for over a decade and will not take our cars…

Super knowledgeable and friendly staff. Very smooth experience. Was kept informed and involved throughout the whole process. I got a full inspection done and also got my lowering springs installed after being informed of my shocks being worn out. Highly recommend sunset to anyone looking for trustworthy, professional services.

I had a great experience with Sunset. Everything was explained and everyone was very patient. They also helped me figure out the locked lug nuts on my tires. I didn’t know I had them And had no key. Thanks to Gavin’s guidance my problem is solved. I recommend Sunset 100%

This was my first time at Sunset and will for sure be back. Very professional and services excellent. No longer worth going to the dealer for service when you have excellent service right around the corner at a very reasonable price.
