There's a new team in town, and I really can't say enough good things about Chris and Dakota in…read moreregard to their new Mavis overhaul.
My van suddenly died and had to be towed to the shop. Based on everything that had happened, all signs pointed toward the alternator being the problem. Even the tow truck driver felt that was likely the issue. So when I brought it in, I was fully expecting to hear that I needed an alternator.
Instead, Chris called me and told me that all I needed was a new battery. That might sound like a small thing, but to me, that says everything about the kind of person Chris is and the kind of business he's running. He could have easily told me I needed an alternator, and I wouldn't have questioned it. Instead, he was completely honest and only recommended what my van actually needed. Chris was not only professional, but incredibly compassionate, patient, and genuinely a pleasure to speak with. When you're dealing with a vehicle that has unexpectedly broken down, it's stressful enough. Having someone on the other end of the phone who treats you with kindness, explains what's going on, and doesn't make you feel like you're being taken advantage of makes all the difference.
And then there's Dakota, the head mechanic. He seems to bring a good amount of knowledge and experience to the table, and it's obvious that he takes pride in his work. He was extremely polite, helpful, and professional throughout the process.
At the same time, I was also in need of front brakes, rotors, and two new front tires. Because of Chris's honesty and how professional and personable he was over the phone, I had him take care of the entire job.
If you're looking for a shop where you can feel confident that you're being treated fairly, honestly, and with respect, I highly recommend Chris and Dakota. This new team is already setting the bar pretty high, and I couldn't be happier that they have taken over at this Mavis.
As long as they are here, I'll continue to take my vehicles to them whenever they are in need of repair.
Five stars all the way!
