They are very personable and welcoming. I was having an issue and a cheap part that was needed was ordered as I waited and since the wait took a while the part and the service was free. Don't get me wrong the part was a couple dollars and the wait was a couple hours. Either way these guys and gal are great!

Another shop refused to even look at it, but Eric was more than happy to see what he could find out. He originally diagnosed one problem, but on disassembly discovered it was something else. Kathy called me several

I came in with a transmission issue. They were friendly and knowledgeable. Every time they came to tell me what was wrong and what they're suggestion was they brought the parts to the lobby to show me the broken part/issue which bolstered my trust in them. One of the guys even walked me back to look at the vehicle to show me exactly what was wrong and explain what needed to be fixed and why. It's hard sometimes to find a trustworthy mechanic and one that goes to the effort to explain and not talk down to you (especially as a woman), but I definitely felt they were trustworthy and respectful.

I was charged almost $200 for the ac door actuator that I found online for $25. I could not find one for over $40. I was told that my engine air filter was dirty and needed a new one which I had just changed 2 days prior and when I checked it at home it was bright white perfectly clean.
Edit in response: So it doesn't come with the warranty, I pay for the warranty. You should not put the price of the warranty included as the price of the part. That's lying, so that's why I was thrown off apparently. There is value in diagnosing correctly, that's why I paid $117 for the diagnostic.
