They really treat you like family especially when it comes time pay. Their prices are far lower that anyone else in this area. Thank you Mike and Thomas for being so honest, reliable, professional, and getting my vehicle repaired so quick. While at your shop, it was easy to see that you make all your customers your top priority while safely and quickly repairing my vehicle. Far more advanced, knowledgeable, friendly, and way less expensive than anywhere in Humboldt. With costs of living these days, I thought I'd never get my Chevy fixed. When I spoke with Mike for the first time, he helped me not only get my vehicle towed to his shop, order parts, and make the repairs, he was able work with me until payday. Truly one of a kind experience and hands down the best around. Keep it up guys, much apricated Craig M.

Unfortunately, we will no longer be using their services due to recently taking our car in not once, but twice for the same issue. Almost $900 later, the issue still remains which means we essentially threw our money down the drain. Literally the problem recurred the next day and is still happening. I've never had an issue before where a mechanic supposedly fixes a problem....yet the problem remains. Maybe I have been lucky? Anyway, we will be using a new mechanic from now on. Too bad! An offer of at least a partial refund would have been nice. All we got was an apology; which doesn't go too far these days. Oh well.

They fixed NOTHING. I've spent over a thousand dollars gotten no old parts back and have the same code #2 cylinder misfire. The car is flashing engine light. It's running terrible. If they couldn't fix it after 4 tries shit they should have said so. I asked the owner what he would do. He said sell it. A 2011 Ford expedition with only 13200 miles. And they couldn't fix it.

I've only used the service department.

This place is about as good as I could hope for given my lack of options. In one instance, I tried to use a different place and they wanted to keep charging me for diagnostic and kept it for days. I took the car away from there and called this place in McKinleyville. They said they'd call me back and when they did call me back, they already knew what might be wrong. I dropped the car off and they fixed it the next day. I know these places change staff. This review is about the current situation as of May 2023. They have a pretty good service center right now.

I waited for 2 hours after the 1 hour eta window, for total waiting time of 5 hours. The next day I tried again, and again, the same thing happened. On the next day, the driver told me to tell him when I was ready, which I did, of which he said it was too late. The next day he said the same, but another tow company towed it because it was on the street in non-working status. I did know this was coming, not the exact day/time, which is why I requested the service on Sunday/Monday/Tuesday......until the city towed it on Thursday between 3:30 - 5:00 pm, the only time during the entire week, I left my house. The cost for that towing is $440 plus $100 city fee. Of which I don't have. Now, the clock is ticking $50/day. Next week, when I'm paid, the bill will be $350 more. Total expected bill - $890, that is my water bill, energy bill, food bill, trash bill... ALL BECAUSE THIS BUSINESS RESPONDED TO THE TOW REQUEST AND DIDN'T SHOW! They shouldn't have taken the request, if they couldn't provide the service. I'M ENRAGED. THEY SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. I would give them a negative point rating if I could. I will be taking them to small claims court.
