The owner, Butch, also does the work. I really like that setup because I imagine he is then personally invested in doing quality work.
We brought our car in and said we hadn't had much maintenance in years and told him we were open to his recommendations, literally listing off things we thought we might need. He was very honest and didn't hit us with a million "necessary" jobs like he could have. As one example, my wife said the last place we took the car said we'd need new brakes very soon - the next time we visited. Butch said he examined them, and we still had more than half the pads.
At the same time, from talking to him, it seemed like he looked over the car thoroughly and tried to make sure it was getting the work it needed.
He communicated clearly and was willing to take time to explain things to us.
We've been to a number of mechanics for which we didn't care due to quality or charging. We plan to return to this place! read more
