I went in to address a severe shimmy on my truck at 55 to 60 mph. I was a little skeptical at the diagnosis and went ahead with the service. For tire rotation and balance. I have to say the gentleman was right and the problem with the front end has been fixed. And I am very grateful for the experience they have down there with knowing where to start with tire alignment. Thank you very much for all of the help. And it only cost $65 to fix

They orders the shocks I wanted for the Jeep, and even checked fitment for upgraded ones. Quality and professional work. They know their stuff.

I was in desperate need of new tires late in the afternoon. They got me in and out the door in less than an hour. They are fairly priced and professional. I’ll be back in the future

Great shop. Fast and friendly service. I am moving my vehicles over to them for Tires and Alignment in the future. They also support the local fair.
