To be perfectly blunt, every aspect of Brand Automotive Service is superlative. I've been taking…read moreour cars there for years now, and without any exceptions, the service experience has been right on the money every single time. Jared and his crew are knowledgeable - and polite, too - which is always a bonus. Diagnoses are accurate and work is done quickly and very well. Car problems (or just routine maintenance) are somewhat akin to going to the dentist: nothing that anyone looks forward to. But in the case of Brand, I'm always happy to get problems solved, and never hesitate to pick up the phone to see how soon my car(s) may been seen - which is usually VERY soon. And then - unlike going to the dentist, I happily head for Brand, knowing that the problem WILL be solved quickly, efficiently and for a decent price, too.

We were passing through and heard some scary engine noises from our RV. Even though it was a…read moreholiday and super short notice, Mike kindly told us to come by and he would take a look. He reassured us things were fine and showed us some things under the hood to take care of which was super helpful and just what we needed! He is a very kind man. We had a nice time chatting with him. And if you need glider lessons he is your guy for that as well! :)

Bad news, Lou said it needed an alternator and that would be a few days. Then he called and said it just needed a belt. Brother had already okayed an alternator, so he could have easily taken him. He had it back to him by the end of the day. His shop's waiting area is also a mini military museum. So nice to have something besides just an outdated magazine reading center.

This place was amazing! Our truck battery died at Yosemite and triple A jumped it, and told us we…read moreneeded a new one.

He also wasn't able to fully diagnose the issue, which left me questioning what the $80 evaluation was actually for when I was the one explaining the symptoms and likely problem. Due to the lack of communication and professionalism during the interaction, I chose not to move forward with the repairs there.
