Busted Knuckle is the best! Really - they are. Jay and Calvin came thru with rush work repairing…read moreeach of my 3 vehicles to get them road ready for a move south. One needed a lot of work to get road safe. It wasnt easy, as they were having to fix bad work done by other fortunua mechanic and a bit of front end damage to my blazer after a spin out that hit the hillside at 55 mph (damn hwy 36). One mechanic (JC Auto) took 2 1/2 months and $3000 to do an "improper installation of a new intake mainfold" per the dodge dealer. And another expensive fortuna mechanic (Rocha's) didnt know how to fix the a/c system on my ford ranger but billed $1800 to try (they forgot to put refrigerant in). Calvin fixed it in half a day for under $500. In my 8 years of experience with local shops, out of 7 of them only 2 really shine - Busted Knuckle and Mike's Brake Service. The others are over priced and will kill you with diagnostic fees.

He kept me informed about every detail, and I truly appreciated how much communication and patience he had. I am incredibly pleased with the quality of service and the work. I highly, HIGHLY recommend Busted Knuckle to everyone here and I will not hesitate to recommend them to all my friends and family in the area.

From the first call when I was on the road to my arrival at the shop these people were very…read moreprofessional! They knew I was on vacation and time in the shop would slow down my trip. They assured me on the phone that they had time to take me in when I arrived and they did just that. My Van's transmission went out and I had the Van towed to Rocha's Automotive. Great choice! They checked the transmission and found that it needed to be replaced (I am glad that I towed it here, I would not have trusted anyone other than a AAA shop to give me the news). My van had a lot of miles on it and it was not worth it to replace the transmission, it was dead :-( . They really went out of their way to assist me including driving me to U-Haul to pick up my rental and allowing me to leave the van on their lot while I completed my trip.
