I have been going to Automotive Specialists for many many years and they have given me very good service and does a really good job each time I use them. They are honest and very helpful in their explaining any required service. Highly recommended.

I have been bringing my truck and my wife's car here for over 14 years. Both vehicle are still on the road with over 458,000 miles combined. This is a testament to the excellent service that they deliver daily. Unlike most shops, they stand behind their work and guarantee their repairs.
