Mike and his terrific staff are the only mechanics I use. I have found an honest shop that doesn't it right the first time! Mike takes the time to talk to explain the issue(s)and I never get the feeling he does "extra " work to maximize his profit. Feels good to support a small business that works hard to build your trust. I highly recommend.

Mike is great! I had the top end done on my truck and so far everything seems to be running correctly. I stopped by randomly and got to see the progress they were making on my truck. They gave me all my old parts and explained in great detail what was going on with my truck. I also had a great deal of knowledge about what was going on with my truck so I could tell they weren't trying to rip me off, I knew about how much it would cost and they ball parked the same numbers.

Very professional, honest and cares about his customers. Had torn o2 sensor harness and repaired it fast and professionally with testing to make sure everything is working. This guy will tell you how it is and give you what you want as long as it's not overly Damaged but what I like about this shop is customer service and he will actually talk to you and tell you a few possible options until he fully assesses the issue for final diagnosis. Other shops I have been to they are cold and not concerned with what you are telling them so if you want honesty and good work then this should be your shop.
