Great folks who do good, honest work. I moved from out of state and was in a rush to find a good local garage. They get me in for appointments at a quick turn around and have been thorough in their review and work. I stopped in today to get help with a Reese view mirror and they worked it out right then and there for me.

Got a pre-purchase inspection done on a used car here. Such a great decision! It cost me about 150 dollars and saved me thousands as the car had a lot of issues. So many issues the fix would have cost way more than the car. I spoke with Josh who went over what the inspection found and he was very thorough in explaining everything that was wrong and strongly recommended that I not buy the car. He was direct and to the point which I appreciated.
First time here but when I find a car without so many issues I’m sure I’ll be back here if I ever run into any problems!
