    I stopped in the car X to get a tire plugged. They were very polite. They got me right in. Nate was fast efficient, and upon of finishing he didn’t charge me. I would recommend that place to anybody. I had a great experience.

    I have been going here for years for multiple fixes. They are one of the few places that tells you like it is, doesn’t charge for basic consultations, usually has coupons online, offers a military discount, and doesn’t try to “upsell” you. Highly recommend!

    Had some issues with my front drivers side tire making a small noise. Took it in and they said my cv shaft and tire rods were bad and causing the noise. Quoted me $1800. I called around to other places for quotes and ended up choosing Stephens who said they would do it for $1000. I take my car in and they say my cv shaft and tire rods are perfectly fine. The noise was from all the lug knuts on my tire being extremely LOOSE. So Car X lied to me and tried to quote me out a lot, on top of literally loosening my tire/not putting it back on properly. Note: The noise was 10x worse after having Car X inspect it. Do not go here.

    I stopped into the shop yesterday evening with a nail in my tire and they got my car in, in a matter of minutes and they are super-fast to fix my tire. I was in and out within maybe 10 minutes.
