Just brought my newly purchased 2017 charger in for a wheel bearing replacement, Tom was great about keeping me informed like all the employees here which you seem to rarely receive it seems these days. Prices are fair, zero pressure on extra services and good communication are what keep me coming back plus free rentals are a huge plus.

Went in for front alignment but said i needed other repair before they would do it. Glad they told me to do repair before alignment so i didn’t need to pay for alignment again after repair.

Finally fixed!!

[Engine Service / Repair]

Had major issues with my car (frequent overheating and empty coolant) that were ongoing for over a year, no one could really pinpoint it and cost me tons in unnecessary repairs (thermostat, heat sensors, water pump, pipes), no resolutions. Finally brought it to these guys, recommended by friends. They figured out the source of the trouble (cracked head, bad head gasket) and FINALLY got it fixed up. It's been almost a month and I haven't had any issues since. Plus, while they did the repairs, they had a loaner for me. Which helps, since I only have one vehicle. I trust these guys and will definitely return to them for service.
