What customers tell us
Another shop wanted to replace the catalytic converter. Nate found a cracked vacuum hose and charged me for diagnosis and a $14 part.
Marisol R. The estimate came by text with photos of my worn pads. I approved it at my desk and picked the car up at four.
Derek W. Vik has looked after three of our cars. When the old minivan wasn’t worth fixing anymore, he told us so.
