Pete was great to work with - from showing me the damaged strut / broken coil, to working with my extended warranty company. Great paper-free billing and processing, including pictures of repairs made, with convenient drop off/pick up options available. Service: Steering & suspension repair

Alright I gotta tell ya guys I love this shop. I called them the day prior to drop my car off in the morning the next day to get my brakes and bearings looked at just for them to identify the issue and call me half way trough my work day to explain what was wrong and if I'd like to continue with the work and I said yes. They guaranteed me they would get the job done and have my car out the door ready to go after I was done with work. keep in mind these guys are always busy, but they always make time for anyone when they can! They did a awesome job. I would definitely recommend anyone to this shop.

Spoke with Pete on the phone and let him know I'd be leaving town for a few days and wanted to leave my car for repairs to the fuel system. No problem. Got several calls while away keeping me updated on the situation. Car was ready for pickup on the way back in town. Had to put some miles on the car before re-testing for emissions and it passed yesterday! Thanks guys!

Always a pleasure bringing my car in. Pete is just great! Very honest, tells you what you need vs. what can be done later. I never feel like he's trying to overprice or recommend work/services that aren't necessary. Great job guys! Car is riding like a dream thanks to reliable auto repair!
