I consider that a good thing, because I found Harry and his brothers! I had a Ford Focus way back then, and Harry told me to keep as long as possible. He said the new cars were all computer run, and much more expensive to work on. Did your "mechanic" ever say that to you?

The next day Im informed a compression test was performed and I have a hole in valve which they cannot or are unwilling to repair. So im left wondering why i even had them look at vehicle . At that time I was prepared to pay for expensive repair but i was gracious and said I'd pick up car and pay for diagnostic. I was then asked if I wanted a broken connected to ignition coil replaced which I had repaired myself and I wondered why they even messed with it since they claimed it wouldn't fix bigger problem and it was functional but once again I was polite and instead spoke with mechanic about what he thought I should do and more detailed explanation of "hole " in valve . His theory was nitrous. was likely culprit. I saw no reason to disagree and thanked him for his time. Ten minutes after leaving with car I disco my ignition connector was never put back . so I had to return and re install it myself without any help. just a sorry bout that . A few days later i was begining to get suspicious of the diagnosis they gave and decided to do compression test myself. I found NO loss of compression. The diagnosis gave was totally wrong and the reason for it is either incompetence or a lazy scam to collect money for literally no help whatsoever . They may seem trustworthy and knowledgeable but my time /money was utterly wasted and strongly recommend not using them even for a oil change . Whether it's incompetence or lack of integrity I'd say its. both since they assume they're dealing with dumb customers . Clowns

This shop is now called Jimmy's Auto Repair…read more It used to be Vaughn's Auto Shop (aka Quality Shop & Tire), and let me say this clearly, it was the ONE mechanic in the area you could actually trust. Fair prices, honest work, and a constant stream of cars coming in and out. People didn't just go there because it was convenient, they went there because they knew they wouldn't get taken advantage of. Senior citizens trusted Vaughn, including my mother, because they knew he would never rip them off or steer them wrong. Vaughn, to me, will always be one of the kindest, most decent men I've ever known. He took care of my mother and her cars for over 20 years. I remember calling from California to check on her, and every single time, she was getting solid advice, fair pricing, and real care when it came to her car. That kind of consistency is rare. I will never forget how well he and his team treated her. Fast forward to today. Vaughn passed away a few years ago, and his loss was deeply felt in this community. With him, it feels like the heart of that shop went too. The business is now run by Jimmy and his daughter. And the difference is noticeable. Where there used to be a steady flow of customers and cars waiting to be serviced, now the lot is often empty. My mother and I both had a very different experience there recently, and I'm going to be very direct about it. The treatment was rude, cold, and dismissive. It made the entire interaction very uncomfortable. My mother, who lives on a fixed income, tried to ask if there was any flexibility on pricing for a relatively small repair. The answer was no, and it felt final. No effort to work with her, no understanding of her situation. And that's where it really hits. Vaughn would have worked with her. He understood people. He understood that for someone on a fixed income, even a small unexpected expense can throw everything off for months. What used to feel like a place that cared now feels transactional and indifferent. For long-time customers who supported this business for decades, the shift is hard to stomach.

He got my car in the same day and had it completed within a short time frame. The mechanics are professional and I know the issues will be taken care of. I did ask for a heavy duty battery so I don't have to go thru this again any sooner than I have to but was willing to pay extra for that. About 6 month ago I needed all 4 tires. Being between jobs at the time, Rick got 4 new tires for less than 2 Michelins (my preferred brand) would have cost. I can always count on him to educate me so I can make better decisions based on my current situation and doing the job right. Thanks for giving me peace of mind!
