This place is great. We were passing thru and having a little bit a trouble. Kenny helped me out and treated me like a friend. He is very knowledgeable and all round a good guy. He explained a lot to me and helped me know my truck and transmission a lot better. I didn't catch the guys name that helped me out with my fluid level but he was great too. Couldn't have been happier with the service. - Levi F. (Yelp Review)
