Tveten's Auto Clinic is a risky and dangerous auto clinic for auto repairs. Don't risk your life! My tires were re-installed wrong. My tires were loose and almost came off during my drive on the freeway. The mechanics are reckless and management is careless. Terrible customer service! Service: Auto maintenance

Fantastic. I brought in my newly purchased car for an oil change, hoping that I wouldn't get bad news about it's condition. They looked over the car and said everything was good, and took the time to explain what all services were due, and which I may want to have done. They also took the time to explain why I should not get my transmission fluid changed if it has never been changed before (I was at 160 something thousand miles).
I also had them change out all of my exterior lights. They're honest enough to have asked me why I wanted my headlights changed, since they worked and it was not entirely needed. (One was a tad dim and I just wanted them to be the same because I am a nonsense human)

Super friendly and fast! Very honest, too, although I didn't end up needing the services. I walked in to get a quote on a sensor, and I want to apologize. I have migraines due to light sensitivity, and I wear dark sunglasses. I think the poor fellow at the front desk thought I was robbing the store as I was wearing my hoodie + face mask. Sorry about that!
