Fast and good service
I’ve been taking my car here for a few years and I’ve been very impressed with the service. I always make an appt and my car is done either on time or before scheduled. I like how they don’t overcharge and everyone there is friendly. Definitely recommend!

Knowledgeable and trustworthy service manager and mechanics. They care!
My 90,000 mile service was complete and well performed. Car runs smoothly and has effortlessly. All service requirements completed in a timely manner. As a retired army trained mechanic I can vouch for their work, This is why I take my car there.

Oil Change for my F-150
Awesome service. I was able to set an appointment at the time I needed. Quick and effective oil change with full synthetic oil for my truck. Coming back and highly recommend.

Rachael said she went to this business for an oil change and to get her tires rotated , during the oil change the fluids were supposed to be topped off. She also wanted them to do a diagnostic for a sensor .When she got her vehicle back, she is assuming he got the oil change but her tires were not rotated and they did a quick reset of the sensor and it came on the next day. She had to move and was unable to go back and since they did not do half the work they were supposed to do she probably would not go back there any ways.

This Lady came in for her 2nd Oil Change Service [1st Service we noted weak sensor batteries] and requested checking Tire Pressure Sensors and System while vehicle was in the shop. Oil and Filter were changed, Tires were rotated, Fluids were topped off, and sensors were checked and batteries still showed weak yet signal was making contact with module.
We reset the sensors for proper placement on vehicle and recommended she may want to think about replacing 4 sensors. We also stated that the weakest sensor may trigger again and turn the light back on.
$95 Out The Door!!!! I mean REALLY???? And we didn't even push the sale due to your expenses with moving.
A $75 Full-Synthetic Oil-Change with Filter and Free Tire Rotation and a $20 Diag and Reset Fee seems pretty fair to me.
