Great Service on car and service person, Robyn

Robyn is efficient, handled a change from regular maintenance to need for new tires, extended service, etc. than planned on and was extremely lovely to work with. After driving over 50 years, this is the best car maintenance service I've experienced.

Service dept is good, sales dept, not so much

I willl not refer anyone to purchase a car there due to the dishonesty of the sales people especially, I think his name is Jim. But I will recommend people for service the service department is good.

Great Service and Clean!

I just love the service, they let you know what they're going to do first and call you if there are any chances. What i really love is how they offer free carwash and free all around check.
