I needed a state inspection. No wait in line, in and out in record time. Friendly associates and a cool atmosphere with all the vintage sings and decor. They also offer general mechanical work.

The last time I went to get my car washed, I noticed they had raised their prices again. But usually it's worth it, but this last time it didnt even get my car clean. There were still cat prints and dirt on the hood and roof. That's not worth the $13 charged for the works. I dont know if I will go back.

Went to them for a timing belt/water pump replacement a while back, no issues since. Fair priced and timely. I do my state inspection with them yearly as well, it's always a quick in-and-out experience. I will continue to do business with Hunter's Oil Depot! Service: General repairs & maintenance
