Me and my fiancée were traveling from Snohomish, WA (Seattle Area) to Salt Lake City, UT in our Hyundai Kona.

Let’s just say I went into a slight panic due to…

They go above and beyond to explain and show you what's is going on with your vehicle. They are all very polite and stand behind their work. I am very happy with them and the work that they do , and I will continue to go back.

Sam and his team were professional and spent many hours troubleshooting a driveability issue with my 1995 Chevy Silverado. Multiple items that didn't address the problem they did not charge labor for but I decided to keep on the truck. A free alignment was included with my tire purchase. Overall, a trustworthy operation, which is what you want.

Came into Point S today. Had an issue with my vehicle that had been reoccurring and couldn't figure out the issue. Took it into Brandon and they had it figured out, repaired and back to me same day. Great service and great prices. Will be returning.
