After reading the two (same issue) negative posts, felt compelled to post my experience with Mike's…read moreGarage. It's understandable you would be upset when having the 2 close-together major issues that you referred to; but my opinion for Mike and his skills differs greatly. Have been trusting my car care to Mike for decades. During that time have referred his business to family and friends-- all good. Were I to go into detail, you might think he was a relative or I was part-owner or something. There may be an organization locally that is as good, but would find it hard to believe there's one better. The only thing negative is at times, he's been booked up. He was a one man show for a long time, though his new location and added mechanics should help with that. There are positive reasons why he has been able to expand his services... Note: In the event you come back and read your and other Yelp comments, or someone you know reads them-- you didn't mention the year of the Jeep Compass in your posted review but did say you had children. If it is a 2014, are you aware there has been 2 recalls on that model? (per Consumer Reports)

Went over and talked with the manager, Justin, and he made us feel very confident that we would be well taken care of with our car being serviced here. We were so happy with the diagnosis that did not cost a fortune to fix! Car is cooling nicely and one other item taken care for a light that was displayed on the dash. I had requested a written estimate which they sent to us after diagnosing and that is exactly what we paid when picking the car up. Now we will use this place for both of our cars for service since we were so well take care of for service required. This repair shop was a great find and highly recommend if you want great service and a fair price.

T & D gave the lowest estimate, by far: labor rates for the other auto places were above $124 per hour; T&D is a single mechanic operation and I had reliable work done at this location over a decade before. The owner was honest, did what he said he would do and was flexible and accommodating. The work was done well and quickly; the alternator, water pump, radiator fan and timing belt were all replaced. The car problems were corrected and I obtained added info on the car that other shops did not provide eventhough one would think they would/could. T&D exceeded expectations.

They inspected the…read morevehicle and determined the best way to go forward is to completely remove the rotted out sections and welded in new sections. They also offered to remove all of the rust from the frame and coat it with rust inhibitors. After giving me a price, I decided to move forward with the repair. In short summary, the work they did was very impressive. The frame looks fantastic and will hold for many years to come. I will admit, it seems like the repair was rushed at the end since they missed a few spots of rust, some patches of frame not painted, and a few other minor things. I called the shop after leaving a review stating these observations and I received excellent customer service. They picked up my vehicle the next day, fixed the mistakes, and even threw in an upgrade for my vehicle for free. In the end, I am a very happy customer. I highly recommend this shop for their excellent customer service, impressive work, and genuine transparancy on cost. I've never met a shop that treats you like family until 41Seven. For any repairs or advice, this shop delivers.
