Mark and his team over at Ultimate Auto
Great place to take vehicles. They are honest and upfront. Definitely recommend.
Excellent experience at Ultimate Automotive. Had them inspect a used car before I bought it. They spent a lot of time inspecting the car on the hoist. They carefully inspected everything under the hood. I remain a loyal Ultimate Automotive customer for over 30 years. They are working hard to provide a service…
Excellent service!!
Fast service and did what I asked. Thanks.
They did a a great job!
Great shop that got me all fixed up the same day I brought it in since I was passing through town and was having vehicle issues. If they were closer to me I’d go to them every time I had a problem! They even fed me some good barbecue while I waited😂
Helpful and friendly thanks Nick and team
It was great...went in for car HVAC and they fixed plus a whole lot more...hotter done...thank you... And it was Merry Christmas to my husband and me!
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!!
hey there mark....seen ya out in the truck a few times...keep it under 80 mph....lol
I was amazed at the service. We had a lot of work done. They communicated with me and did a great job. They were just a hair over the estimate but it wasn't a surprise. I brought an inspection from another service and they told me what really needed to be done and what didn't. Another plus is that they are open…
Mark and his team are always friendly, fast, efficient and reasonably priced. We will not take our vehicles to anyone else.
Great family business ! Good service at very reasonable prices! Have used them for years!
