I am from out of town. 2008 2500 suburban, 6” lift, 35” tires. Called and they got me in that day. Service and tire rotation. Price was fair and comparable. Got right on it. Had a 2:00 appointment and they pulled it in at 2:00. Didn’t try and sell me anything. Took less than an hour. When finished they went over everything. What they did, how everything looked and some things to watch. Really nice people

I was recommended here since I had disappointing services with my previous mechanic. They did great! I could tell they were very honest, did good work and they were great with communication. Will definitely be a return customer! Thank you!
