I met Mr. Roland maybe six years ago before I purchased a truck from a dealership near his shop. I…read morewanted to have the truck checked out before I purchased it, and the auto dealer recommended Roland. I thought maybe that was a conflict of interest and wanted to take it to my own mechanic. My mechanic was backed up and couldn't get away, so I reluctantly took the truck to Mr. Roland, and I was beyond satisfied with his expertise, service, and kindness. He drove the truck and turned the steering wheel a few times while driving straight and explained why he did that. He turned down the radio to listen for any noises that may have been out of the ordinary. He did a few quick stop-and-go checks to check the brakes. He did a hands-on examination and told me that I would eventually need to have a tiny hole in the muffler repaired at some point, but it wasn't major and recommended a shop. He told me the tailgate latch was tricky to open, but showed me how to open it without problems. And he also guaranteed me that he could beat any price in town. With that being said, a year later, my GMC Terrain started stalling and shutting off whenever I would come to a complete stop, which was kind of scary. I took it to Firestone, and they placed it on a machine to diagnose it and quoted $700+ to fix the issue. I then remembered Mr. Roland and went to see him. He called one of his technicians out, and while the car was running, he asked the technician what he thought was wrong? The technician put his ear to my car to listen to it and told Mr. Roland the exact same thing that Firestone had said. That was very impressive considering they did not have to put my car on a machine to diagnose it. Mr. Roland, not knowing what Firestone had quoted me, said it would cost me about $300+ to repair it. They were kind of busy that morning, but he managed to squeeze me in. I went next door to Cracker Barrel for breakfast, made some business calls, played a few games on my phone, and did a little shopping to pass time. Within two hours, my car was ready. I've been back a few times to have my vehicles inspected and/ or repaired. In fact, it's been a while, and I need to have my GMC checked out again, so I'll be calling Mr. Roland.

The two weeks waiting for an appointment is correct but it is well worth the wait. Even though a…read morenoise from the front end of my vehicle appeared to be coming from the left front to all who listened to it, including the technician who went for a test drive, they did further testing to conclude it was actually the right side making the noise. And so the correct part- a bearing and hub on the right side- was changed. They found a problem on the left side which they invited me to come out and verify myself, which I did. Added to this they warned of a potential problem in removing a part. Having watched a video online about the removal and replacement of bearing and hub and what needed to be removed to get it done, I was amazed when they gave me the warning about it. Without getting too technical and making a long story short, these people bring honesty to a whole new level. I came to this place on the recommendation of two friends, one whose hobby is cars. This is the only place he has found to come to that he trusts so far as technical skill and honesty is concerned, and he himself is an expert on cars. Well if people actually read these reviews and come here probably two weeks wait will turn to three weeks wait but I tell you I will gladly wait three weeks to have these people work on my car.
