I hesitate to write a good review because i don't want Cody to get too busy in case I need him! Of course I joke. Cody, aka Skip, has been working on my families cars for years. He's a man of integrity and care, which seems to be becoming more rare these days. He works around my schedule and can typically get me in within a couple weeks. I appreciate that he is usually the one who answers the phone and checks out customers despite being the business owner and could easily have one of his employees do that for him. He's a genuinely nice guy and I know I'm in good hands when I drop my car off. They even have a drop box so you can leave your car overnight the day before. If I could give these guys a dozen stars I would. Thanks for the great service Cody. Looking forward to having you service my cars for years to come!

Cody has serviced all of my work trucks and personal vehicles over the last few years and it is nice being able to drop off your vehicle and trust the work is getting done properly. Extremely affordable with great workmanship

I called Les Schwab and was quoted $2200 for new brakes. I called these guys and was quoted less than $700. I confirmed all the parts were the same and they were. Call around, just because they have commercials doesn't mean they are going to take care of you. Disgusting that a business gouges this bad.

Used this place in the past without a problem but the last Three visit to fix the same problems and now at another location paying for the services again that could not be fixed, or repaired on the warranty request. Simple brake job should have not been this much trouble nor expensive.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Auto brake repair, BrakesServices: General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Auto brake repair, Brakes

I brought my truck in for its 100000 mile maintenance and they did a great job. I came in after 11am which was later than I meant to.They worked hard to get my truck out by 8am the next morning. They replaced spark plugs, oil, filters, all fluid, including the transfer case. I will continue using them!Services: General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine tuningServices: General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine tuning

Dependable reliable service for your vehicle as well as a place to stop for fuel. A service/fuel station but not a place to buy snacks or drinks. Prices are very reasonable for vehicle repair.

This is the best place in town to take your car! Dale in particular is the man, I don't take my vehicles anywhere else! (Brian's auto has screwed us over and others so beware you have been warned!)
