Trusted by Customers for Decades

“Nobody likes to go to the auto repair shop but this one is really good. They are honest and always able to accommodate my car repairs when I need them, even squeezing me in when needed. They did 2 separate repairs for me recently: brakes and engine light issue. The brakes were reasonably priced and they had me out the door early afternoon because I needed to make an appt. Excellent customer service. The engine light is always a scary one because a shop could tell you just about anything. But I’m this case, even hey are honest and thorough. It turned out to be low oil and filter, which was a much less expensive fix than I expected! I will continue to go here for any car needs.”
