These guys are absolutely amazing. I brought my 04 Jeep TJ in with what I thought were pretty serious issues with U-Joints and possibly other problems. After a few days and the techs inspecting it, they narrowed it down to a much simpler issue. They fixed it and gave me advice on what to watch out for. They could have charged me for extra parts, and I would have agreed, but they didn't, and that says a lot about the company. This is definitely my go-to shop. I highly recommend them, and be mindful that it can take a few days or more to track down problems, especially in my 22-year-old Jeep. Not to mention newer models. 10/10 recommendPosted on Google![]()

I had an issue with my car on vacation. They got me in quickly, repaired what was needed in the same day. I felt the charged me more than fairly, were honest, and were very professional and nice to talk to. I was given a detailed description of what was completed. What could've been a damper on my vacation was quickly resolved. Thank you.Posted on Google![]()

I needed the positive battery cable cut back because it was giving me some issues due to corrosion. I went to another shop off of Sawyer and Beeridge and they quoted me $120. That sounded high so I called this place and they were able to do it on the spot for me for $25!!! They even replaced the terminal. I have taken 2 other cars there before and I don't know why I just didn't go there first. They're also super kind and friendly. Tom and Roger made my day.Posted on Google![]()
