I cannot say enough about this place. I'm a 64 year old single women, and over the years I have…read morebeen led astray many times by auto mechanics looking to make a few extra bucks off of your lack of mechanical knowledge. These two gentlemen went above and beyond to help me. At a beyond reasonable price I might add. I had a fuel line leak, and it was explained to me clearly what my options were and they respected my decision and had it fixed while I waited. Many other customers came in while I waited, and I watched them go the extra mile for each and every one of them. You could tell by the very interactions and conversations, that every customer left with the same gratitude for their service that I did. Well done guys and thank you for service to our community. I will highly recommend you. Thank you again.

When I arrived, they got me right in Joe & his Guys took their time to explain the issues with the vehicle & potential cost of the repairs, Very Fair and Honest evaluation of the vehicle's issues to help me make my decision on my purchase. I drove almost 45min. to look at it & ended up not getting the vehicle, But I would definitely Go back to Joe and will refer him to others in need of Car Repair work because Fair & Honest & Upfront,,,,,,,,, CUSTOMER SERVICE is Hard to find any more.

I needed a battery replaced and found Adkins. I was very happy with the service, he replaced the…read morebattery and did a diagnostic scan. It was quick, same day and very convenient for me.

I put in a diagnostic request for my mother in law's 2009 Kia Rondo. She doesn't have much money,…read moreso I was hoping to try and save her some money. I had to have a tow truck it to her address due to it not wanting to start in Park, I found out though that the shifter was very stiff as well and would only move when I used the bypass button. I couldn't get it to start but the tow truck driver showed me that it would start in neutral using the bypass switch and shift into gear but when in park it would still move. So, we didn't want to risk driving it to her house and so we had it towed. The tow truck driver said any mechanic should be able to fix that for you with no problem. So, I called Adkins that evening, and he diagnosed it the next day. He said, he tore the whole console apart, even tested the neutral safety switch but it was seized and couldn't be moved out of neutral. He told me it starts but will not shift. I was told the rod was welded internally within the transmission. I thanked him for his time and effort and he was paid by my mother in law. We'll, then myself and a friend came over and found the shifter was indeed froze in neutral, but after we re-tore the console back apart, and diagnosing it ourself we got it to shift. Took it to a transmission shop, who said this is not a transmission problem at all. We were told to take it to a mechanic and that it's either in the shifter itself or the cable, but definitely nothing to do with the transmission. The mechanic from Adkins confirmed over and over that he's torn many of these apart and he knows his stuff when it comes to vehicles. The question is, then why did he not diagnose the issue correctly and refer me to a transmission shop who then sent me back to a mechanic. I got the shifter out of neutral but he couldn't. He said he tested the neutral safety switch but it didn't look like it had been touched. I'm just saying, I will never trust this company to touch another vehicle of mine. Didn't seem to know as much as he claimed. Did not give a correct diagnosis and still took my mother in laws money. You decide what's right or if you would trust this mechanic.​
