Too…read moreoften, I've walked away feeling uncomfortable, judged for not knowing as much about my vehicle as the professionals, or worse -- wondering if I'd been taken advantage of by places that inflate prices or push unnecessary services. Thankfully, that was not my experience at Turbo Tim's. From the very start, things felt different. Before my appointment, I received a fair and transparent estimate for the AC issues I was concerned about. When I arrived, Mike greeted me with a friendly smile and explained the process clearly -- no jargon, no pressure, just honesty. One big bonus? They offer a free ride service for locals to and from the shop. I've never had that before, and it made dropping off my car so much easier. They also communicated throughout the day via text with updates, which I really appreciated. When I came back to pick up my car, the bill was walked through step-by-step, and I was told that if the issue worsens, I can bring it back within a year for a free assessment or fix. It's clear they strive to make everyone feel welcome, no matter their level of car knowledge -- and it shows. I'll definitely keep Turbo Tim's in mind for future repairs. And on a lighter note, the shop's fish tank is pretty cool... and there are multiple friendly shop cats wandering around. I hope they're paid generously in treats and love.

Turns out there is an oxygen pressure sensor vent that's part of the gas cap. I had recently switched out the original one for an after-market one and apparently the seal wasn't exactly right.

(It is a stupidly severe warning for something so simple.) Dave's been up front and fair in all my repair assessments so far. Highly recommended!

I have to mention Matt. He is like a walking wikipedia when it comes to cars (except he seems to always be correct). He answered all my questions, and even coached me on haggling and it was a total success. He also gave me a free travel mug and a bottle opener keychain, too :) The downside, if you could call it that, was the $100 charge. But that's comparable to similar shops in the cities and it did come with two hours of testing and the peace of mind of knowing my car isn't going to fall apart like a looney tunes car. Looking forward to seeing them for other services. Now I just have to get over my buyer's remorse. (I have to pay what for how many years??)

They treat you like family, never talked down to me or patronize me (a big thing for a female who is used to others trying to make me feel badly or take advantage of me). This has been my experience at all their locations. Most recently, I was heading back to Wisconsin for a family wedding. Long story short- I had car issues and Nelson's was the first call I made. They told me to bring it by and looked at it immediately. They were so kind, quick to act, and empathetic--I truly felt seen and valued. They helped me learn what I needed to do, and worked with me to get the job done right. I had to come for a follow up, and they took care of me again with such kindness, efficiency, and care. Cannot recommend enough!

It had…read morebeen over a month, and I reached the point of feeling nervous while driving (I know... awful). Lane, at the front desk answered all of my inquiries without making me feel like a bother; especially given it was an hour before closing. Despite having a full load the following day, and due to limited hours later in the week, he advised that if I came first thing next morning, they would squeeze my car in. I had him add me to list for 7:30am (just in case) and advised that I was going to check out one more mechanic (nearby). Ultimately I went with Lowell's! The interaction with Lane felt more authentic. I appreciate that he was willing to give a range, and advise how price would vary based on if it was a this problem, verses a that problem. The next morning I dropped my car off. Without knowing when they'd get to it, I just took a Lyft to a restaurant in NE for breakfast and figured I'd walk to work from there. My car was ready by 10am and while I could have gone back for it, I decided to wait till later in the day, which they were fine with. The other place had a loaner car, a waiting area, and would have cost less (based on the diagnosed issue, front brake pad & rotor). However, although I would have LOVED to save money, I'm happy I went with Lowell's... the place that made me feel assured. I would return.

I took my car in almost a year ago, for what turned out to be its last visit to a mechanic (hence…read morethe delay; I was in mourning for that car). My engine temperature gauge was in the red zone, and initially Rav thought it was a thermostat issue. I also got an oil change. Anyway, once the thermostat was replaced, he drove it around and the engine was still heating up. He suggested it could be a head gasket issue. I know just enough to to know that "gasket" means expensive, and when I, being the impulsive type that I am, asked how much and if he'd be willing to repair it, he basically said that it wasn't worth the money but conveyed sympathy for delivering the bad news. This is an HONEST mechanic, because he could have taken me for some serious money without fixing the problem, and I wouldn't have known better. He ended up putting the old thermostat back in the car and only charging me for the oil change. That car is now gone, but I will take my current car to Sterling when the dealer's promotional free service period expires.
