Wow. Let me first start by saying I am a college aged girl with zero knowledge of cars. Literally…read moreevery place I've EVER been to I've felt as though the shop didn't value me as a customer EXCEPT THIS PLACE. Service was INCREDIBLE. I was nervous taking my 1978 truck anywhere, especially since it was running pretty bad. I had no clue what was wrong and after I ran it bone dry on gas (yes, i know) it wouldn't start. Shout out to marquette detailing as they towed it to south side's shop. I got a call the SAME DAY saying they looked at it and it just needed A LOT of tune ups. IT WAS READY LATER THAT DAY. Literally where else?!?! I know stuff like this depends on the issue, part availability etc but holy cow was I excited. I attached a picture of my invoice for anyone who is curious! The total was $656.88 Although obviously expensive and hurt my wallet, as soon as I started my truck, shifted into drive, and stepped on the gas, I knew they fixed the issues. My truck struggled going up hills (hard to drive in MQT) but now it runs SO SMOOTH. They also have an after hours pick up spot for your keys and it was very convenient, as I worked late that day. From the moment I stepped on the gas I knew they fixed it. A special thank you to Jerry Spruitenburg (service advisor) for making me feel like a valued customer and treating me so kindly, as well as the best tech around, M Codd (sorry I don't know your first name), for using your mechanical magic on my old Ford! It literally feels like a brand new truck!!! South side was truly the best place I've ever been. THANK YOU

DO NOT TAKE YOUR VEHICLE TO THESE PEOPLE! They ripped me off three different charges to my credit…read morecard for a total of over $2,000.00 They first said that they guarantee their work. Then they fraudulently said that they fixed my vehicle, but it stopped running as soon as I returned it home. It had the same problem as it did when it was taken in to these horrible people. I even had to pay for towing charges to get my vehicle to them. They claimed later that they would guarantee their work and tried to say that their warranty company would pay for their bill. We contacted the warranty company and they claimed that they would not cover non guarantee work costs. Vehicle is still dead in the water while they continue to lie to my credit card company for over six months. DO NOT FIND OUT THE HARD WAY, LIKE MY FAMILY HAD TO!

We were a little discouraged when no one answered the phone when we called, but got smart and drove not up to the small entrance in the mini-mall off Front Street, but up behind it via Hampton and the parking lots behind the Women's Center. There we found a busy shop and staff happy to make an appointment to look at the car. We later learned that sometimes the phone does get answered, but not to worry when it does not. We made the right choice. The estimate was more than reasonable for the amount of work involved and the work was done promptly and well. No one tried to bamboozle us or mislead us into getting work that was not necessary. This isn't a fancy place, but it's an honest one, run by hard-working people who know what they're doing. Highly recommended.

I called Skip's and spoke to Heidi, and she said they were very busy but would do their best to get us on the road. After Charlie towed us to Skips (and as a former mechanic was able to lead us to the alternator), Skips worked it in, managed to find an alternator for a 2011 Honda and fixed it so that we got back on the road by 5:30. I was considering what kind of disaster we were headed for but Skips saved us a lot of trouble so we could continue on our trip. I would use them all the time if they were in my hometown.
