Report
I recently went to Sikora's for an inspection and tire change. I waited while they did this. My dash light was on indicating an oil change was needed. I also asked for them to clean my air filter. I was grateful for the quoted price and no other charges. Elders on a fixed income are grateful to those who are honest and fair. I appreciate these guys for not looking to add onto the "you need" list! Thanks guys!

I am a regular customer *meaning *(All oil changes, and yearly inspections to clarify!) Whitcomb's auto service is "Honest" with much integrity. I have had other mechanics there, try to touch up wear and tear on my vehicle, at no charge. I highly recommend. "Dave, and Family started this tradition and IT STILL CARRIES ON!" -Good work Ladies and Gentlemen! Happy New year!

I had purchased a part I needed for inspection (it took three weeks)and after dealing with three area car repair businesses Whitcombs agreed to install it without the time and a half excuse or any other bull I got being a woman. After one of those businesses then reneged on my inspection I called last minute and they did it within an hour. I am so appreciative and so blessed to have stopped to inquire about the issue. Thank you everyone at Whitcombs! I hope we can continue to do business.
