"All I needed was a state inspection but during my wait a few customers had come and gone. The manager Cody was absolutely amazing! He talked to the customers like they were a human being and asked questions without sounding like one of those mechanics that try to rack it up. He talked to us while we waited between customers. Cody genuinely seemed to like what he does and the service was quick and easy. Bonus points for the fluffy brown couches in the office! Wish I could give 10/10!"

"Cody and staff do a great job at a reasonable rate in a timely manner with a smile. Worth the extra drive to trust the work being done if you don't live close. Thanks as always Cody!"
