Dodge 1999 ram 3500 Diesel Dually. Took truck in for sluggish to failure of Clutch pedal and water pump replaced. Rocky was very knowledgeable and would give updates in a timely manner. 100% satisfied with work, price, and communication. I'd go back and recommend services to anyone. Parts not on hand so be prepared to wait a bit. From time I dropped truck off to getting it back was about 1 week. Considering it looked busy and supply chain slow downs.
I couldn't be Happier. Thanks Rocky! I am always skeptical of repairs especially since a few years ago I had a fuel pump go out. Took truck to dealer and wanted to charge me 10K. Thanks for diagnostics dealer. Went and bought my own fuel pump (5K) took it out and could have replaced it same day myself. I wish I would have seen the Garage first!

Tom Horgan and mechanics were life savers when my family and I were stranded due to a coolant system issue that disabled our vehicle on the way home from a trip to Arizona. They bent over backwards to get us back on the road, despite having a full load of appointments. They were able to see to the scheduled folks and still get to us by end of day. Thanks so much for rescuing our family.

I've been taking my vehicles to The Garage for nearly 20 years. They have never let me down. If you call to make an appointment in advance, you will get: - a close estimate in advance so that you can make an informed decision, - service that will either be completed in the same day of early drop-off or your car returned within 24 hours, and - mechanics who know your car, what it needs, and how to the job with precision.
If you have an auto emergency, i.e., your car has inexplicably stopped working and you need it fixed, you will: - need a way to get you car to the facility; - have to wait while the problem or problems are diagnosed; - receive a detailed response from Hector explaining what has been found, what parts are required, how long the job should take and a close estimate of the cost so that you can make an informed decision.
The moral of the story is that you must trust The Garage for ongoing care and service of your car so that emergency service can be prevented. Make an appointment for your car, save time and money, and you will live happily ever after! PS. All the people on site are extraordinarily patient and kind. Hector is the absolute best, though!

Good group of guys working here. Honest individuals that do good work. I came in to get a sensor installed and they had it done before the end of day.

Look no further! 1991 Ford F-250 (and similar), this is your repair shop! Another local nationwide chain completely screwed up my old F-250. I spent months fixing everything I could figure out (catalytic converter smog pump, MAP, TPS, Idle control, electrolytic capacitors on ECM) but it would still stumble badly at steady speed. Mike (Big Mike) has owned a couple of 1980s Ford pickups and clearly knows and loves them.
They found a fuel-corrupted oxygen sensor and then went the extra mile to re-do the other shop's spark plug work and my F250 is back and running even better than it was before the other shop messed it up. The Garage is my shop from now on.

This is my car maintenance/repair business of choice. Took van to get tune up done and the work done was minimalistic, the quality of the spark plugs and engine coil cables were ignored when asked about after the work and the check engine light (that had just turned on that morning) was ignored. Disappointed in this set of work.
