I have been a part of the Auto Repair business for over 43 years...owning my own shop for 38 of those years. I enjoy what I do so much that an early retirement just wasn't for me. I love working with people so assisting them in getting back on the road safe gives me a great sense of achievement! In my free time I enjoy riding my Harley and spending time with my wife and 2 daughters.

They knew of warranty work that needed to be done and should have informed me updates weren't available at this time. Was waste of my time and there's communication needs to be better. Everyone was nice More

I am so sorry to hear you were not happy with your experience here. I did follow up on the recalls you had outstanding. One of the three recalls required us to have your vehicle here in the shop before we could tell if futher action needed to be taken. I don't know if that was fully communicated to you when you were here. If not, I am really sorry about that! Thank you for servicing here and if you have further questions feel free to reach out to me directly.- Chelsea 920-261-1800
