What was also great was when I arrived there were 3 other vehicles ahead of me and I only waited 20mins. This was incredible. Over the last 40 years of dealing with these I usually wait at least an hour. His no-nonsense approach to the testing process keeps the traffic flowing and wait times short. Oh, he is also much cheaper that most other places in Hanford and this is really important these days! Lastly, don't let the outside waiting area turn you off. The seating, and area, is clean and well shaded. Highly recommend him.

No other shops were open due to the holiday and we thought we were going to be stranded. Came by diagnosed and was able to swap out the battery. We were able to make it home that night. We appreciated his help!

First off Eric showed up very late at night after we had agreed on a day and time to get repairs…read moredone he wanted to start later in the day. No problem, he wanted to offer buying the parts which I said great if it save me money. I it's the parts he broke during the repair and his inflated cost of parts which where higher the listed price on the auto parts web page he did something to the electrical which he had to bring in some other guy to help on top of having no car for over a week due to his inability to make repairs without causing more damage and time. I was so fed up I was going to have a tow truck come and pick up the car from his mother's house where he works or whatever. So finally he says come get it and it's running and gets worried I won't pay him.... Why would I do that after being hosed for a week. Anyway I did pay him his over priced parts cost and broken by him parts cost and labor requested. However now after getting my car back he left the battery strap sitting on the top of the motor.... Literally!! And he left other parts in the engine compartment and to put it on top this guy takes my two month old battery out and puts in a battery that only hold a 39 percent charge and would not return my calls today so I just spent 300 more today. I will be letting every know if he pays me for the new battery I just had to buy or not and that will determine if he gets taken to small claims court for this entire mess. Read the Google reviews!!!!! I wish I had. Happy some of you seemed to have gotten what you payed for...... oops forgot the final kicker charging me for two gallons of Coolant and my reservoir is empty??? Makes sense based on my experience with this guy. Don't make my mistake.
