Great service for a fair price. Brian and the crew are customer-oriented and do their best to have a satisfied customer. All I asked for was an oil change on my motorhome but they also checked all the fluids and lubed the grease fittings.

TS has a very honest and kind group of people working there. I dealt with Kevin most of the time and then Dave as well - they were both very nice. Would definitely refer them to others.

The team at TS is friendly and helpful. They are honest about what needs to be done and don't try to make you have work done that isn't necessary. They get that work done quickly and well. My family has been going to this shop for years.

This is a multi-generational auto shop, with very reasonable labor rates, a wealth of experience, and, absolutely, most importantly, they are fair, honest, and really nice people. My best friend owns 2 auto shops, and I have found them to be less expensive, quicker to turn around the job, and the beat part for me is they are just down the street.I own a Chauffeured Transportation Company, and I count on them to maintain my fleet. They never disappoint even though I am a more demanding customer than mostThey are a 10 Star business in my book!!

They are simply just better than other places we've been. Professional, courteous and *honest*. I'm not sure how they always get our car in and out so fast. They've let us know, in advance, what parts on our minivan will probably need to be replaced in the next year or two.We've not seen mechanics with more experience or, seemingly, expansive specialization before.Thanks, guys.

We have taken our cars for maintenance and repairs to TS since the 1980 s. We won t buy a used car unless they have checked it out first and given us the ok. We so appreciate their service, it is like being taken care of by family. Sincerely, The Wierenga Family

I was sure how it was going to be, but the 383 stoker motor they installed in my Toyota is awsome. Thanks for the HP boys.

Fantastic experience, very professional and timely at a fair price. I had forgotten about TS Specialties until my dad reminded me, he s used them for close to 40 years. I highly recommend this business for automotive repairs, they are very trustworthy and great to deal with. I had a water pump, new belts and an oil change done and couldn t be happier with the service.Service: Engine repair

Good inspection on a potential purchase, only $24. Personal advice from the mechanic as well about the quality of the vehicle.

These guys are awesome! They've taken care of me and my cars for years now, and I've never been unsatisfied. The work they do is solid, and they are a great bunch of guys. I wouldn't trust my vehicles to anyone else! They will not price gouge you like some other shops either.

My Uncle Brian had told me about TS Specialties some years ago.I wish I had known about this place from when I had my first car!Very friendly service. Very accommodating.And the #1 factor: trust. At TS Specialties, whether it's either of the brothers, Brian or Dave, or any other mechanic there talking to you...you walk away feeling good. They're all just real and honest people ready to work magic on your car!

Solid service, consistent integrity. These guys have been my trusted mechanic for over 10 years. I usually come to them with a list of concerns to check out. A less scrupulous place would take such a list and run with it, and maybe add in some "while we were at it" items that aren't really a problem. Not these guys. They only fix what needs fixing. If there's more than one fix to a problem, they'll lean towards the more conservative fixes until it's clear we need to pull out the big guns. In my experience, there is no inspection fee. If they look into something and they don't find anything to do, they won't charge you. I can't recommend this place enough.

TS Specialties is our go-to place for car service and repair. The team at TS is fair and professional. They are honest. They tell you what needs to be repaired and what can wait. I have always been satisfied for the value of the service I receive. I used to take my car to be dealer-serviced. I no longer do that because of the quality of work and the honesty of the folks at TS.

Great place. I trust them completely. Repairs were done quickly and they told me repairs another place said I had to get done, weren't needed. Saved me money!

Everyone in my family goes here. Fast and friendly, they always give fair quotes and are very honest. They also check out whatever used cars I am interested in buying and have saved me thousands by telling when used cars have damage and should not be purchased.

Honest, Honest, Honest. These guys are up front and won't lie and tell you something's wrong with your vehicle to make you pay extra money. They are truthful and they do GREAT work. My uncle referred me to them and I go to them for all my car problems/fixes and they always are so friendly and easy to work with. I highly recommend them!

I had my brakes replaced in January along with an oil change. By the end of February I needed another oil change. It has now been 6 months and I had to get my brakes replaced AGAIN because they were metal to metal. Don t think that should happen only 6 months after getting them replaced?? Didn t have any other problems with them and seemed nice but this is just crazy to me.

08/22/2013 - I had horrible experience here - had explained both issues I had, was charged 48 for part and 148 labor (50 labor + 98 diagnosis) charge to replace 1 plug, okay, fair enough. When I called back to pick my vehicle up, was told that mechanic who fixed the car wasn't aware of another issue and that I'll be charged at 98/hr again just for diagnosis. I asked what if diagnosis would take more than an hour? Mechanic said he hasn't looked at the problem but is "pretty sure" it'd take exactly one hr and hence another 98$ to just touch my car again. I asked very politely that it's not my fault that mechanic wasn't aware of two issues, when I dropped my car off,I DID explain both issues if the owner didn't tell mechanic about both issues then I shouldn't be the one paying for another diagnosis fees to open the car again. To my great disbelief; owner (Dave) told me that he doesn't have time for "crap" and asked me to take my unrepaired car telling me "he's too busy and he doesn't want to deal with customers like me"!!!! He wasn't too busy to charge me $200 without fixing a thing though.BEWARE of these folks, very rude and over priced. They need to fix their manners before fixing the cars. There are tons of good auto shops around so do yourself a favor and go to an auto shop where people have manners and skills.

These are by far some of the nicest, most competent and honest mechanics I have ever encountered. I brought my car (2004 Chevy Cavalier) to them today because another outfit who did an oil change for me told me I needed struts at a pretty hefty cost. Frantically gathering ball park estimates over the phone, I found TS came in a lot lower ($400 plus lower). Within minutes of my arrival there today they had inspected the car and flat out said I DID NOT NEED new struts. I asked if the car needed anything and they said it likely would need front brakes soon but not now, that it could wait a couple thousand miles yet, into the summer. I actually had to talk them into doing the brakes today because I am not going to be around much this summer. And it was a very reasonable cost. My car runs wonderfully and I am not even close to broke! Thanks T.S
