Testimonials

Trusted by Hundreds of People

  • Miranda Dolan Happy Customer

    Absolutely amazing service! They got me in and out in the same day and charged a super fair price. They easily could have tried to up-charge me or add on addition parts for the problem I was having, but they didn't.

  • Molly Fitts Loyal Customer

    I cannot even begin to say how fabulous this shop is!! I called them because my truck started misfiring while I was towing my horse to Kentucky. Being far from home with a horse in the trailer I was in full panic mode. Randy was not only calm and helpful, but he helped me trouble shoot where to go..

  • Kara Beebe Happy Customer

    Needed a tire plug so I called and they were able to get me in right away- I was there 20 minutes total. Very nice and helpful, even got a 10% UC student discount. It’s great to find an auto place where you feel safe and respected as a college-aged girl.

Service Questions

Common Questions

  • Most oil changes take 30-45 minutes. Brake pad replacement usually takes 1-2 hours depending on the vehicle. We'll give you an accurate time estimate when you drop off your car so you can plan your day, whether that's grabbing lunch in Clifton or heading to class.

  • We use professional-grade scan tools to read your car's computer codes, then actually test the components to confirm what's wrong. You'll get a clear explanation of the problem in plain English, plus a written estimate before any repairs begin. No guesswork, no unnecessary parts.

  • We use quality aftermarket parts that meet or exceed OEM specs, which saves you money without sacrificing reliability. For certain repairs, we can source OEM parts if you prefer, just let us know. All parts come with the Napa warranty for added protection.

  • It depends on your car and driving habits. Most modern vehicles need oil changes every 5,000-7,500 miles with synthetic oil, or every 3,000-5,000 miles with conventional oil. Check your owner's manual for the manufacturer's recommendation, we'll help you figure out the right schedule during your visit.

  • We handle way more than what's listed: transmission work, suspension repairs, exhaust systems, coolant flushes, and more. If it's an auto repair, chances are we do it. Text Randy with what you need and he'll let you know if we can help. If it's truly specialized, we'll point you to someone who can.

  • We do our best to accommodate urgent repairs, especially if you're stranded or it's a safety issue. Text Randy as soon as the problem happens. If we can squeeze you in same-day, we will. For non-emergency work, scheduling a day or two ahead usually works best.
