    These guys are the best! I almost hate to brag because I don't want them to get so busy that they can't take my vehicles! LOL...Seriously tho, Brent has been awesome, and I feel very confident in their expertise and knowledge. Awesome place and people! The cleanest garage I've ever seen as well!

    I had previously left a great review, but I felt the need to write another — because Rick and his team genuinely deserve it. Their knowledge, craftsmanship, and attention to detail are on a different level. I’ve had Rick work on two of my vehicles so far, and now I’m bringing him a third. Years ago, I had a supercharged Silverado that gave other shops nightmares. No one could figure out how to build a transmission that could handle the power — and my driving back then was flat-out crazy. I got burned more than once. Then I brought it to Rick. He built a transmission so solid I couldn’t break it, no matter how hard I pushed it. That’s when I knew I had found the guy. More recently, I watched this man fix my ‘87 Fox Body in under five minutes. He had every opportunity to upsell me or play games — but he didn’t. That moment showed me he’s not just skilled, he’s solid. Straight-up integrity. Now, I’m bringing him my Jaguar XJ8, one of the most finicky, temperamental cars out there. And even with his packed schedule, he found time to fit me in. The fact that his expertise spans everything from raw American muscle to refined European machines says it all. He’s not just a mechanic — he’s a master of the craft. From this point forward, Rick has my loyalty for life. Any car I get — whether it’s a hot rod, a luxury import, or anything in between — goes straight to him as long as I’m in his area. (Honestly I'd rather drive an hour to his shop than go anywhere else) I recommend this shop to anyone who wants real knowledge, honest work, and results that last. Rick’s the man. Period.
