Bretts was able to get my car up and running again very quickly, the only delay was waiting on a part from Toyota. The staff is very friendly and easy to work with in my experience.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We’re glad we could get your car back up and running quickly, and we appreciate your patience while waiting on the Toyota part. Our team works hard to make every visit easy and friendly, and we’re grateful for your kind words. If you ever need anything in the future, we’re here to help!

I've had normal major maintenance work done and I was pleased with the results. Also, they shuttled me to my place and back to their shop.

I have an antique jeep. They were able to find the replacement parts, install them, fighting through 40 years of rust & grime, restoring the front axle to a safe condition in just 1 day. Very pleased with the service.

Thank you for sharing this! Working on classic vehicles can be a challenge, and we’re glad to hear our team was able to track down the right parts and get your Jeep safely back on the road. We appreciate the opportunity to help and are grateful for your trust. If you ever need anything else, we’re here for you!

The best experience I’ve ever had getting my car evaluated and fixed. The video they take, showing you exactly what is wrong is so transparent that it immediately instills trust. Then they make the repair process so fast and easy. I have more confidence in my car today than I have in years. I wish you could leave more stars! 100/10 would recommend.

Thank you so much for this incredible feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that our inspection videos and repair process helped make everything clear, fast, and stress-free. Building trust and confidence is exactly what we aim for, and knowing you feel that way means a lot to our whole team. We truly appreciate the 100/10 recommendation — and we’re always here whenever you need us!
