Wish I could give them 10 stars! If you are looking for good HONEST mechanics at a reasonable price this is definitely the place to go! Took my car for repair at Protech because the dealership wanted to charge me $1700.00 for repair and they quoted me $600.00. Since their reviews were good, I thought I would give them a try and I am sure glad I did! Dropped my car off and Lantz called me later and told me I didn't need the repair the dealership told me I did.
They could have just charged me the $600.00 and not did anything to my car and I would not have known the difference. In this day and age it's hard to find a good honest mechanic. I am so GRATEFUL for their honesty, integrity and wonderful customer service! ALL my future repairs and any routine maintenance on my car is going to them for now on because I know they will not take advantage of me and will give me the best price and service period! I am also recommending them to everyone I know who needs a good honest mechanic. Thank you Lantz at Protech! :

Amazing service! All questions and concerns are addressed in the professional and customer oriented manner. All mechanics and owner Lantz are knowledgeable and polite. This auto shop is so popular that there is a waiting time for an appointment at least two weeks in advance.

I can't speak highly enough about Protech and its owner Lantz. In my personal.dealings I have found Lantz to be honest and honorable. He watches your budget almost as carefully as his own and is not one ro replace parts willy nilly My 2019 Impala (Elizabeth to her friends) Is maintained meticulously by Protech and is as young and playful as the day she rolled off the assembly line despite some neglect by a previous owner. Protech is always busy you're going to need an appointment and be prepared to leave your car, first come first served

Update from 2021: Lantz got me in quickly after my radiator cracked. Fixed it the next day. Also did a great job on a 4 wheel brake job during the same visit. Reasonable prices. Highly recommend again. From circa 2018: Very pleased with the work at Pro-Tech Automotive. Had an AC compressor replaced on Toyota Sienna. Lantz quoted me the job on the phone with great detail. Quote was significantly less that local dealership.
It turns out that I did not need the extensive work that was first thought, so the final repair cost came in even lower than the estimate. Did the work in less than a day. I would highly recommend this shop to anyone.
