They were able to trouble shoot and diagnose the issue in less than a week. Even though they didn't have the part in stock (supply chain issues - not on them) I was still able to get the vehicle back well under the original 2-week estimate for getting it into the shop. All along they kept me informed and updated on the work. I am extremely pleased with this place.

They replaced the spark plugs, but during that process they damaged the valve covers. About 10 months later, the damage led to an oil leak. I had my trusted mechanic downstate look at it, and he told me the valve covers had clearly been damaged during that original service and recommended I request a refund. April 2026: I returned to the shop and showed the owner, Diana, the faulty parts. At that time, she acknowledged the issue and said she believed we deserved some money back for the mistake. May 2026: When we followed up, we spoke with Pat (the owner), and the conversation went completely differently. Pat immediately became confrontational and started yelling, saying he "don't give refund checks." Instead, he expected us to drive the truck 250 miles--while it's leaking oil--so he could fix the problem he created himself. The attitude and lack of professionalism were honestly shocking. Mistakes can happen, but how a business handles them matters. Between the poor workmanship and the way we were treated afterward, I would not recommend this shop.

Then when I came to pick up my vehicle because I didn't want them working on it, the owner got in my face yelling at me because I was asking them why no one contacted me.

I usually change the brakes myself, but we were on vacation at our lake house and I did not have all the tools needed and I was worried if I attempted it I may get in over my head. I dropped the car off and told them about the left front issue and before I even got home (10 min drive) had an email estimate. I opened my email and found an estimate for the following: 4 Brembo brake pads 2 Rotors 2 New calipers 2 New wheel hubs All of that was diagnosed in the time it took me to get home (about 10 mins). total cost of parts $981.93 total cost of labor $819.00 after tax and supplies the total price $1884.84 Hard pass on that. Not sure why my daughters edge with 118,000 miles needed Brembo brakes and honestly just curious if they even looked at it or just threw everything they could at it just to see what I would pay. Front brakes/ rotors on my 2022 Ram Rebel were $367.56 out the door downstate a month earlier. We picked up the vehicle and called around some other local shops and found one (Luckily as it was July 4th weekend) and had brakes and rotors replaced for $515.84.
