Our vehicle broke down on a Saturday in Baldwin. Brett's has been taking care of my in-law's vehicles for some time. Granted it was not a far tow and it was convenient; we blindsided them with a strange car in their lot.I called Monday morning and was treated curtiously and professionally. Our vehicle was back on the streets by Wednesday afternoon;couldn't be happier.

Transparency is their middle name! Super honest and professional. Felt like my car was in very good hands from the moment I dropped it off until I picked it up. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an auto shop to use over and over. Will definitely have them working on all my vehicles while I live here.

Jeff Sapp listened and understood what my automotive concerns were. The video with audio review of my vehicle was very helpful in understanding what repairs issues needed to be addressed immediately. What I like most about Jeff is he is honest in his assessment of what repairs need priority and NEVER tries to upsale me on anything that is marginally in need of repair. The repairs were done in an expeditious manner with quality work being first and foremost.

Had a critter make a home in the van, and I was able to drop off the keys before hours, get a video inspection of the van, and the actual cost of the repair came in under the estimate quoted over the phone. Always enjoy the service at Bret's!
