I needed a diagnosis done on my transmission. Since my mechanic shop does not work on transmissions, they referred me here. This shop was fast and efficient. Amazing customer service. I love how accommodating the office is, offering popcorn and coffee. You guys rock, thanks again.

great shop. Helped us with a 2008 Subaru diag a bad transmission controller was un able to locate one told us what was needed and didn't charge us. Great group of guys would refer to any one, and coming from another auto shop that means some thing.
