Trustworthy
It's a relief to have a company to trust.

That was always the goal Patricia.  Having moved around a bunch with the military and corporate jobs it was always a bit of challenge to find a place that you could trust.  I knew when I came back home I could make one.  

Thank you!

Great service, and great people!!
My car was quite the stickler and required a lot of brake work; however, Modern Automotive did a superb job at getting the parts together, and fixing my brakes in such a timely manner. Mechanical service aside, the workers at modern automotive were fantastic! They were very kind and communicative with me despite my total lack of car knowledge. I 100% recommend this place and will definitely be returning for my car troubles in the future!

So Far So Good
Currently have only taken 2 vehicles to Modern Automotive on 3 separate occasions for nothing more than oil changes/tire rotations. They have been courteous and honest so far but have yet to have any major work done by them. One thing I am not a fan of is the charge for diagnosis. While it's common in the area, I feel as though if you get the work done by the establishment they should waive the fee.

CHUCK S. from Modern Automotive responded on 02/06/2020

Thank you for the five star review. It is greatly appreciated!

I am happy to discuss why charging diagnosis is the most honest way to conduct business if you care to chat about it.

Thanks again!

Tires for 2006 Chrysler Hemi C
I shopped for new set of Michelin Premier AS tires. I was able to get fair, reasonable pricing from Modern. I don't base these decisions on price alone, but also on clear, friendly, and honest communication . There are some positive aspects to dealing with an independent , locally owned garage. Chuck and his staff conscientiously strive to meet your needs and to maintain a high level of professionalism . I am happy to include them as one of my go to resources.

This darn Jeep
My daughter loves her Jeep. Its been to the shop at least 6 times since July.
Modern Automotive keeps it going for us with drop off, spur of the moment service and always a ride home for me.
Jeep loyalty is a real thing, ugh...
Modern Automative makes it possible.
Thanks, (I think)
