    Have been coming here for years for our regular maintenance, oil changes, windshield wiper replacements, etc. Today the staff really saved us with a battery check. Our car has been having trouble starting lately with the cold weather and oil change light on the dash. They tested our battery, gave us advice that we would need to take a mechanic to make the change because they didn't have the required equipment to perform the change for us. Saved us a lot of anxiety and uncertainty, free of charge. This location has always been super effective and fast.

    Tried to come in for an oil change at 5pm on a Monday, 1 hour before they close, according to Google. There were 3 people inside and instead of turning us away, they just turned the lights off. They couldn’t walk to us to tell us that they were closing early or were simply tired. It was childish.

    Fantastic experience. At the end of a long day, this team was courteous and professional, and we were in and out in no time. Couldn't be happier with their service.

    Doesn’t do off-rim seasonal tire changes. Waste of time. Waited 3 hours this morning and got told to go somewhere else. Don’t go here, they don’t want your business

    First time at this location and took a bit longer than expected... Reason being the other location I went to previously put my plate number and engine size wrong in my account. This was in no way this locations fault but it did take extra time to get everything sorted out. I felt bad for the people waiting behind me. I did however get to drive in right away and got a rear view mirror air freshener upon departure. Probably because they saw the state of my vehicle lol. Would recommend.
