I researched hard and due to ratings went to VIP (had had a good experience years earlier) who met deal of my old place. I went back to my regular place and they said "well, that was just for certain tires." Additionally, my regular place gave me fluctuating prices on brakes. I went back to Paul at VIP and told him what happened. he offered a fantastic deal. As to my brakes, I will also get them done there for their competitiv prices (that beat my former place). it's here on out VIP for me. They gave a VERY thorough report on shape of tires. My other place always kept me and others waiting for very long times. Here? you sit and can see that your car has been brought right in and if you're interested you can watch them work. ai told me that work in places like this is better than at dealers, I can't remember the reasoning and parts are just as good. I am sorry that I don't remember names of the other service and sales people because they are REALLY a great team. I am sorry; they were very helpful. As to my new tires, I am quite excited feeling prepared winter. Their work? I thought I was driving on a cloud when leaving today. . they have a selection of whatever tires you want. I also found out that for brake work they use a brand and ceramic pads which are superb. My new mechanics! I'll try to get back with names. In the meantime, thank you, my main man, Paul!! Excellent place of business.

Saturday morning Paul at VIP called to say that Wes was working and repaired the transmission linkage even better than the dealership could've done! No surprises there!

Nothing listed as to oil change price but ended up being 70. This is more than double nearby options. Asked for a service breakdown with a cost like that.

Have other work to do but can't consider them with pricing and business practice like that.

One tech told me I needed a new engine since my oil was so dirty - apparently he had never seen a diesel engine in a passenger car (diesel oil turns black immediately), another spilled oil all over the underbody splash shield and didn't bother to clean it up, leaving a mess on the driveway. The third strike was refusing to use the manufacturer required oil, because, well who knows.

I am a mechanic by trade, and KNOW what parts cost. From my math, there was a 100%markup on parts, and the Service Writer called me and made me to think the front end of my vehicle was about to fall out. Wanted to replace all the brake hoses, rotors, and brake pads, to the tune of $1,100.00. I instructed them to simply replace the seizing the caliper, and the brake pads on that caliper, which he said were "completely cracked in half" due to the heat, which I doubt due to the short distance I drove after determining the problem. So when I came to pickup the vehicle, I went over the bill with the service Writer, and had him explain each of the charges line by line from his computer. He seemed reluctant to print me my copy first, which after going over my own after picking up the vehicle REALLY PISSED ME OFF! WHAT THE HELL is a "Preventive Maintenance Labor" for $73.00? I was charged 1/2 hour labor to replace the one side of brake pads, which is simply removing them from the defective brake caliper to the new one. So with a $154.00 per hour labor rate, they screwed me $77.00 for that. They bled one brake caliper, but charged me $154.00, the same price as bleeding all 4, and $55.00 for brake fluid, which was probably one cup to replace. In my professional opinion, this was a $300.00 job, at best. I REALLY feel sorry for people who have no mechanic knowledge spending EVEN MORE money, when they call you and scare you into believing their BS assertions of your vehicles issues. I will NEVER come back to this sham business again!

I recommend TW over any others in the area.

As I had just changed the oil myself and didn't want to replace it, they were happy to just do the filter for me. I expected to get charged for a full oil change but instead they didn't want to charge me anything. When you encounter such decent people, you want to give 'em a big hug and your next-born son - because it is such a rarity. This is not a franchise but a stand-alone family business and everyone who needs an oil change should go there. Finest kind.
