    Car shops are my biggest fear, I started with John Nolan after tire discounters claimed I had a bad ball joint and was dangerous to drive. I brought it to John Nolan and Pete took me out to the garage and showed me nothing was wrong with the ball joint, he showed how it should feel and let me try it as well. That was 5 years ago and that ball joint is there on the car. They don’t fix it unless it is broke and are good at explaining something is dangerous or just needs to be fixed in the future. In over 40 years I have never had such honest service, I have 6 cars in my fleet and they keep them road worthy at a fair price.

    Very friendly and professional people. They took good care of my car and made extra effort to ensure my car was clean when they finished. I highly recommend them.

    Was told my oil change would be 60-70 dollars in the morning and then was charged 100 in the evening. I understand it was an estimate but to me that’s a big difference. It was more so the misinformation
