Mark and his team over at Ultimate Auto
Always dependable. Does the work needed and keeps me informed of any future or potential concerns. I trust them.
Everyone has always been so kind and helpful! I will definitely continue doing business here, once I get my newer vehicle
Excellent customer service from the moment I scheduled appointment through through the pick up. Communication along the way during the vehicle diagnosis and repair. They worked hard on figuring out what the issue was. The price was much less than I had expected for the amount of time he spent with my vehicle.
Hi Mark, This is Tim, just got the Silverado back yesterday from the issue with the engine light and possible E85 gas error. Everything ok so far plan to refill tank again soon to minimize problems. Thanks for the follow up will get in touch if problem reoccurs.
Very professional and timely. Been going there for years. Work always done right and very affordable. You will be well taken care of
Work is always done well and promptly.
Mike and Mark are the best! Really got me out of a jam when I had nowhere else to turn. They took a chance on me when they didn't even know me. They do quality work and can be trusted. Car service for bigger jobs as well.
I have brought my cars to Ultimate Auto for many years and have always been happy with their work, and their great communications.
We have been using Ultimate for quite some time now! They are fast friendly and very competitive on pricing! This is a business you can trust!! They are a great team and have always taken care of us!! Thank you!!
We put complete trust in this family owned business for most of our service needs. Mark & Mike could not be more personable , informative & professional, especially when we pulled in with our used RV!
Dennis and team are great to work with and very knowledgeable. Very down to earth people and it's fixed correctly the first time in timely fashion. I appreciate the service offered by Ultimate Automotive and will definitely be back!
hey there mark....seen ya out in the truck a few times...keep it under 80 mph....lol
Very nice very helpful even with warranties they call the company and then contact you before any prior work is done,!!!! I understand the labor is a little expensive but thank God I had a credit card
Mark and his team are always friendly, fast, efficient and reasonably priced. We will not take our vehicles to anyone else.
Hands down the best. Been a long term customer both individually and with private business.
I discovered this business when I needed my daughter's car towed a few years ago. On my first few visits they went above and beyond and I thought I had found a automotive repair place I could trust. However, in the last year their service has been hit or miss and I got the feeling a couple times that I might be…
Super good service. Diagnosed my engine light code, cleared it and wouldn’t take any money!
Very attentive, even texted me a few days after the repair to make sure everything was working well.
