- ARAshlie RossDec 19, 20255.0Great service by Tom and his team! He came and got us and showed and explained to us what was wrong. What could have been a very expensive fix, he made it very reasonable for us! We will be back!
- MSMojo ShoujoDec 13, 20255.0Very good service! Tom got us back on the road quickly on an icy day after the splash plate under the car got caught on some ice. I'll be going back!
- BRBeth RobinsonDec 12, 20255.0I was driving down the interstate and lost a tire. I had it towed to them. Tom and his team were very caring. He showed compassion to me and that meant alot to me and didnt scam me into buying something I didnt need and helped me get my car back on the road. I appreciate them so much and will be bringing my vehicles back to them. They are rare to find. Thank you tom and your team.
- SNSterling NuzumDec 2, 20255.0They did a great job replacing my brakes and front wheel bearings in October. Tom was great and helped make things more affordable to me
- MBMatt ButlerNov 24, 20251.0Used a plug instead of a patch on my tire which failed after 1 week. Waste of time since I ended up right where I started with a flat tire. $20 lesson I guess.
