Always did right by me! Thanks guys!

I've spent a few thousand dollars at this shop having repairs and regular service done over the past few years and I thought I could trust them, but since my last visit I realized that is not the case. I took my car in for an oil change and I already knew there was a milky substance in my oil. I has been doing some research about the issue and thought it might be bad thermostat, or at the worst, a blown head gasket. I told the shop this when I dropped off the car. The shop calls me later and said that it indeed was a bad head gasket and I needed to have it changed. They told me they knew exactly which cylinders had the issue, that it would be a minimum $1500.00, and that I would most likely be without my car for a week. I said I didn't have that kind of money and I couldn’t be without a car that long. I told them that since I had an older vehicle I would just drive it until it died. Then the shop said they would take a second look just in case to see if it may be something else. Now keep in mind, this is after they already told me I had a blown head gasket so why would they check to see if it was a different problem if they supposedly already knew what the problem was? They called me back a few hours later and said it wasn't a head gasket issue after all, but a bad thermostat, coolant sensor, and that the water pump was leaking. Now, the price to fix the car was $750.00. I told them I still didn't have that kind of money and that I would just pick up my car once the oil change was done. Although I had an idea the thermostat was bad, I never had signs of a water pump leak so I was suspicious that it needed to be changed. I had a friend take a look at the car and they said there was nothing wrong with the water pump. My friend changed the thermostat (cost $17.95) and put new coolant in (cost $10.00). It took him about 20 minutes to do. My oil has been clear ever since and the car runs fine. Don’t get taken for a ride here. Go somewhere else. P.S. Like a previous reviewer mentioned, I was also told that my fuel lines were leaking and my car would blow up if I drove it home that night. For that particular repair, I had to pay $650.00 to have my fuel lines replaced.

Doug and his crew are the best. We take all of our repair work here.

My sister took her car there for an oil change when she came back to pick car up turns out that her car was leaking gas and could potentially blow up if the gas got on the exhaust, so she calls me and tells that it would be about $750 to repair plus the oil change cost, so I told her to just bring the car back and I’ll check it out because that sounded real strange so we took the car to another garage and it turns out that no gas was leaking smh

Hard to find a shop you trust and I think we've found one. They keep my old beater running despite my wife's objections!

Awful experience. Charged me an outrageous amount for a job took 5-10 minutes and would have cost $5-7 to do by myself.
