My son and I had a poor experience. Paid them $148 to come out and fix brake lights that didn’t work. It was something electrical because he had put new bulbs in.

My son and I had a poor experience. Paid them $148 to come out and fix brake lights that didn’t work. It was something electrical because he had put new bulbs in. It worked for less than an hour so we called them back. They said they would come back for free to correct the issue. An hour before they came back they texted and said to get new bulbs so we did even though new bulbs were in there. Then right before coming out they said it would be a charge to come fix it when their first attempt didn’t fix anything. I declined and will move on to a more reputable shop. If they couldn’t work the first time they shouldn’t have taken the job or at least tried to correct their mistake.

They had great affordable price ranges, knew exactly where to look for the problem areas, and handled it with so much grace I will definitely be calling them for any further repairs or fixes and recommending them out. I can’t be grateful enough. And the best part was once again, they came out to meet me and worked in the driveway!

Christian was such a lifesaver. We drove from Dallas to Lubbock for college drop off and our car started having an issues. We were worried about making it home. We looked at several places, and he had great reviews. He was so nice. And got up it up and running and saved us money!!! I recommend him to anyone in Lubbock
