Need a tire fixed on an emergent notice and service was provided
I called on a11/18/19 at 7:30 to get a tire repaired as I needed to be 100 miles away at 1100. I was told to come in at 8am and they would take care of the tire which they did. I was very thankful and felt safe knowing the tire was repaired. They also checked the tire pressure in the other 3 tires and adjusted as needed. Great service!! Thanks.

Headlight
Collins is the best place to go to for all you mechanical needs.. Yesterday my headlight was out. I went to Collins to see if they could fix my headlight before I left town for a funeral. Mark was great... he ordered my headlight.. the auto parts store dropped the headlight off at Collins and replaced it for me right away.. I usually don’t just show up asking for my car to get fixed because that is not realistic... Call ahead of time to book your service needs with them... thank you Mark & staff for the excellent customer service... I know you were busy and you still made time for me... I greatly appreciate it!! Keep up the great work Mark & staff!!
