There’s literally no place better In the state as far as I’m concerned. I can’t even imagine going anywhere else which is probably why they are always booked.
Trustworthy, kowledgeable and affordable mechanics do exist…but they are a dying breed. A-1 sets the bar high.

I have been bringing my card to this shop for over 5 years and continue to return. Great people reasonable prices. Russ will not tell you that something needs to be replaced unless necessary. The fact that they are booked up with appointments shows how many return customers he continues to satisfy.
highly recommended

Keith and Russ are awesome guys. First time taking my car here and have had some unreasonably expensive quotes for a check engine code on my vehicle. Gave them the code, got my part ordered and installed within a few hours. Thought I would have to take a couple days off work but they assured me they'd get it done same day. Honest men and reasonably priced, I know where I'm going if I have an issue in town. Cheers gentlemen, thanks for getting me back to safely driving💪🏾
