Very thorough! I had them complete a pre-purchase used car inspection, from a long established dealership. Three safety issues were identified, and I was provided a detailed estimate to use as I negotiated with my salesman when I returned the car. Had I not sought out the inspection, I would have been unaware of the problems with the car. Thanks guys!

I pulled up in a panic because my car was stalling out. Joe and the guys calmed me down and made sure I was taken care of, even though they were short staffed that day! Just lovely individuals that I'll continue to go to for my vehicle needs.

Another bad shop in BAY city. Went to get an alignment done, they refused to do it because supposed a suspension part was bad which everything was replaced by the dealership. I have paperwork on that. Just another money grab place. I’ll just take it to a trusted shop where I know they will do it without hesitation.
