I took my older car to Timi's for a litany of small things recommended by the dealership. I wanted to try a few different shops and see who i like and what they charge. Dropped my car off and told them i had my own supplies, like oil and coolant they didn't bat an eye. Picked up my car the next morning ( it was done the same day) and i was shocked, shocked at the price! It's was 1/3 the price I was quoted from the dealer and they changed the oil too so cheaper still. In fact they under charged me, the shop rate for Euro cars is higher than what they charged me for a domestic vehicle. Nice people and clearly honest and fair. Could not be more satisfied.

A week later, I was sitting in a parking lot when I heard a "thunk," my car started smoking, and green fluid started gushing onto the ground. I had to have it towed back to the shop. So you're probably wondering "why the positive review?" After explaining the situation to Butch (the owner), he said he would look at it first thing in the morning. Then he said "did you have to pay for that tow? Because if this is our fault, we will reimburse you for it." Sure enough, it was, and the next morning he called me and explained what had gone wrong the first time they tried to fix the radiator. He explained that they had corrected the mistake, and that my car was ready to go. 3 things I liked: 1) He took ownership of the mistake made by his shop 2) He fixed the mistake (very quickly, and free of charge) 3) He reimbursed me for having my car towed. Butch is honest, honorable, and treats people well. I didn't have to argue, yell, beg, or even plead my case to have the error fixed. And even though I would've preferred to avoid all that drama, I now know that they do, in fact, stand behind their work, no matter what. After that experience, I'd recommend Superior to anybody.

Even with my stressful situation, everyone was incredibly kind, understanding, and willing to help. They treated me with respect from the moment I arrived and made a bad day so much easier. It's clear they genuinely care about their customers, not just the repairs. Their professionalism, honesty, and willingness to go the extra mile really stood out. I would recommend Independent Auto Care to anyone looking for a trustworthy, friendly, and reliable mechanic. If I ever need automotive repairs again, they'll be my first call. Thank you for taking such great care of me!

If you have a Volvo, Tarn and his team at Independent Auto are going to become your good friends…read more Why? Because Volvos, while nice, are one of the most unreliable brands of car you can buy. They are consistently in the bottom quarter for reliability whether you're looking at JD Power or Consumer reports. If you're a Volvo owner that doesn't believe me, either A) you got lucky or B) you value anecdotes over data. Here is the 2022 Consumer Reports Auto Reliability Report rankings of major automotive brands: 1. Lexus 2. Mazda 3. Toyota 4. Infiniti 5. Buick 6. Honda 7. Subaru 8. Acura 9. Nissan 10. Mini 11. Hyundai 12. Chrysler 13. Porsche 14. Chevrolet 15. Audi 16. Cadillac 17. BMW 18. Ford 19. Kia 20. Volvo 21. Ram 22. GMC 23. Mercedes-Benz 24. Volkswagen (31) 25. Genesis (30) 26. Jeep (26) 27. Tesla (25) 28. Lincoln (18) https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2021/11/18/consumer-reports-most-reliable-cars-trucks-suvs/6385214001/ Knowing all of this, I somehow still bought one. Why? I was "subscribed" to a Volvo for 2 years and, fell in love. At the end of the subscription, all my payments counted towards the principle and...it just felt stupid to NOT buy it. Now, Volvo is steadily making its money back through maintenance and part costs. This is a 2019 car (XC40) and, already, the driver's side seat heater stopped working. Tarn and his team looked into it, ordered another heating coil and...it still wasn't working. They said I would have to go to the Volvo dealership. You could tell that he said this with sadness in his voice. I have an appointment at Volvo for October 17th, they are charging me $200+ just to DIAGNOSE the seat heater issue. My previous car, a 2006 Acura TL, had 170,000 miles on it over 11 years and never had an issue with any of its seat heaters. Tarn was able to help with my 60,000 mile brake job. The brakes were grinding and his team replaced them for an eye-watering $1,570. After doing lots of research...that seems to be the going rate, not a hideous mark-up. Insane. It took a while for Independent to get the parts. I left my car with them while I was in Fairbanks for work for a week and came back and...they still didn't have the parts. They were kind throughout the whole process and explained to me the issues. And, when they finally attempted the seat heater (that they ultimately couldn't fix, sadly.) they gave me a Volvo loaner car to use, and they didn't charge me to diagnose the issue...as the dealership already has committed to.

Jeremy told us that wasn't the case and showed us how good the brake pads were still and explained where the noise we had heard was coming from. He said we didn't need the work done, so we decided to get the oil changed! He was so helpful, kind, and knowledgeable. We are so lucky to have stumbled on to this place. Honest and so friendly.
