Thoroughly impressed from start to finish. Work truck tire blew out on i94 and I called them. They gave me an ETA of 15 minutes and had a new tire at their shop to mount and balance. Most companies give you an eta of 2 hours or more. Thank you guys!

Thank you so much friends and God bless! We will meet again!
My work requires me to travel in my car many hours and being on dialysis 3 days a week to stay alive has its limitations. My car not only needed towed, but also needed a new strut and new tire that day because I had to travel back home 6 hours to my appointment.
Valentin and his fellow worker Oracio spent hours ensuring that my car was serviced with excellent speed and performance. Yeymi was delightful! She probably got tired of hearing me talk but she was very receptive and has a great heart, as do Valentin and Oracio. They all went out of their way with what they had available to be another needle in the haystack that helped save my life.
I traveled back home safely and the car was just as it was before the incident occurred. What great people to meet and to appreciate the same efforts I give to others was given to me. God bless you all.

I highly recommend them! First off the owner and the staff are very knowledgeable and very friendly.I had my car towed and fixed by them. I needed my car towed, I spoke with the owner Valentin, he was able to get my car picked up within an hour. Also, the price for the towing was the most affordable within a 20 mile radius.
Valentin called me and explained everything my car needed. Unlike other places, I wasn't charged to get my car diagnosed. The price I was quoted was very reasonable. I was able to get my car fixed the same day. They even stayed past their closing time so I could pick up my car. Valentin went as far as checking my car to make sure everything else was working well. I will definitely be returning here if I ever need my car fixed again.

Stopped by today because I had a nail in my tire — Vale’s is awesome! I called another tire shop first, but they weren’t willing to help. I happened to be driving by and decided to stop in, and I’m so glad I did. They dropped everything, took care of it right away, and had me back on the road in no time. Super friendly, honest, and helpful — I’ll definitely be coming back!
