Stopped by to see shop & set up an appointment for squeaky belts when starting in the morning. They were not too busy, so they took a look under the hood-no charge. Thought belt tension needed adjustment & did it while I waited.  Hopefully this will do the trick. Will know tomorrow morning, but will go back for regular service. Pleasant & reasonable.

In this mom and pop business they make their reputation by their professionalism, promptness, and by explaining all the details involved in the job they were doing for me. I also asked him to take care of something else that needed attention. The job took about an hour.  I am extremely pleased with the results.   Dave does the repairs and his wife, Karen, is out front.  The office is clean and comfortable and very homey with a good selection of reading materials. One of the advantages of Angies List is that I found a place that I know I can trust to do my auto repairs, and I will definitely return to Dave's  in the future (not too soon).

It worked out very well and I really like them very much. They've done a few of our cars. They are honest and tell me things that I can wait on or that aren't really that important to fix at the time. It is very honest of them not to try to talk me into a bunch of services that I don't need. They do a very good job on the things that they do recommend. They offer to drive me if I need a ride. They are not the cheapest people in town but they do a very good job. They are very quick. I will absolutely use them again.
