What they say ?

our testimonials

"I called Les Schwab and was quoted $2200 for new brakes. I called these guys and was quoted less than $700. I confirmed all the parts were the same and they were. Call around, just because they have commercials doesn't mean they are going to take care of you. Disgusting that a business gouges this bad."

C Peterson

" I brought my truck in for its 100000 mile maintenance and they did a great job. I came in after 11am which was later than I meant to.They worked hard to get my truck out by 8am the next morning. They replaced spark plugs, oil, filters, all fluid, including the transfer case. I will continue using them!"

Mission

Our Mission

How often should I change my oil?

We like to see cars oil changed every 5,ooo miles. Often todays manufactures say 10,000, but fresh oil can’t hurt and it’s quite cheap compared to engine repair.

How long until my car is repaired?

Your repair durations is specific to your vehicle. However, we work to get all customers in the air in a timely manner to you back on the road as soon as possible.

Can you mount tires?

We’re one of the only independent shops in the area that sell, mount and repair tires. Everything from summer sports cars, to studded tires on trucks.
