Vehicle wiring harness for trailer
Excellent service. Got the first available opening. At appointment I requested additional work to be done, which was accomplished without issue. Lynn provides courteous, friendly service. Plan to visit again.

Awesome place!!
I have been using Collins since I moved up here in April 2018. I will use nobody but them. Yes, sometimes things take a little bit longer, because some parts are on back order. Everybody in there has always taken care of my vehicles, and if there is a delay, I am notified immediately. If things are ready earlier, or there’s a sudden change in price whether it is up or down, I am also notified before changes are made. These guys are AMAZING!!

Always great service, honest, and affordable
I was recommended by a friend to bring my car here a few years back. Probably one of the best mechanical recommendations I've experienced.
They're service is great, prices couldn't be much cheaper (they need to eat and live too), and they're honest with what's needed and what isn't.
I'd definitely recommend Collins to anyone who needs help with vehicular issues.

Collins will pick up and drop off your vehicle for you.
