Had a appointment to check k my car for a leak only to be told they are too busy and come back next week. I've used them several times with no issues but this really disappointed me.

Just based on my first impressions I'm very happy that I chose to take my vehicle here for service. Place was very busy though you can call and make an appointment to drop off that's probably your best bet I dropped mine off and they told me to be a couple of days. He told me next time call ahead and make an appointment for drop off that way you won't lose the usability of your car while you wait for a spot to open in their shop.

These guys are awesome took my wife's 2013 Ford Explorer up there a year ago and started having a couple problems with it a little while later (new parts are not always perfect) and they replaced it all again with new parts and even threw in a new belt and tensioner pulley for free labor! If you want peace of mind and guaranteed work go to these guys!

Went in a week before July 4th 2021 and was told they were busy and I'd get a call to schedule a time to drop off my vehicle. 2 weeks later still no call so I called back and was told it would be another 3-4 weeks and they didn't even bother to see if my name was in the system. This is poor business practices and I will not go back. My main issue is I spoke to someone face to face, not on the phone and they took down my information and then did absolutely nothing about it.
