    This auto repair shop starts off with a full inspection of your car after which they text you an email link to their website which has pictures and descriptions of everything that needs attention rated as red yellow and green. There is a surcharge for it, but it’s well worth it, allowing you establish a Professional relationship with them. This is the first time that I’ve used their service, in which advised me of things that I did not know were in need of and did so at a fair and reasonable market cost.

    If it's one thing I've learned in life, going the cheap route is never the right answer in regards to these type of issues/problems...particularly, when it comes to ensuring the safety of family. Chris conducted a thorough diagnostic inspection of vehicle & went over the issues in detail. He didn't try to oversell what needed to be addressed. And, took the time to allow me to get over initial sticker-shock & digest the fact my daughter had been riding/driving in an unsafe vehicle. After weighing options & re-consulting my brother, who had recommended Chris & Southside, I gave him the go-ahead to get the vehicle repairs in action immediately. Chris explained everything & took it from there. When I had time to better inspect the initial inspection diagnostic report (which, is well worth the money itself!!), I determined I needed to ask Chris his opinions on additional underlying problems/issues identified in the diagnosis. Again, he didn't try to oversell what needed to be done. Made his recommendations based on my questions/concerns. It took a couple of extra days to get everything completed due to the complexity of problems to be resolved & the fact Chris and his team absolutely do things right. In the end, the finished product will give extra years to an older vehicle at a fraction of what it would cost to try to purchase a newer (still, used & possibly with its own problems) vehicle. I feel indebted to Chris & safe in any decisions and repairs conducted by he & his team. When completed, he told me I pretty much had a brand-new vehicle that would serve our needs for several years. My daughter called me on her way home while driving the vehicle and couldn't believe what a difference the repairs & upgrades made. She echoed Chris's words...saying it was a completely different vehicle. Note: This is a nearly 20 year old vehicle with approximately 60K miles. My daughter is in college & things are tight financially. We had not anticipated investing in another vehicle for several more years. Chris seemed to understand my predicament from the get-go. And, walked us through things...which, calmed me despite fact we didn't know where to come up with money at this point. We are glad we went on & made the investment. What he & his crew did bought us years on a vehicle that is sorely needed. And, I appreciate that fact.
