Greg's Automotive is the BEST repair shop around! They are honest and do great work! They ask you what is going on and look into it and get back to you with a spot on diagnosis and don't try to upsell you or lie like dealerships. I have a warranty with a dealership, but if the issue is not covered by the warranty (aka free) I will ALWAYS give Greg's my business because I TRUST them! Mr. Greg and his right hand man, Service manager Mark are so nice and easy to talk to!

Very glad I went to these guys with a pre purchase inspection on a used car I was looking to buy. They found a possible transmission issue and even the idea of a bad transmission turned me away from the purchase. The car was already very over priced and they told me it's not worth it to buy at the price I was going to pay, especially if possible tranny problems. Couldn't be happier with the diagnosis, and will definitely return to these guys when needed.
