We were traveling out of state and started having engine problems. It was all already noon, and we checked on one place they said it be 2 days to get our car that been a nightmare for our trip, I called Pats he was kind of reluctant to take us because he already had customers, but he said he would take a look at it. He was very friendly he got my parts fast and fixed my car and I was on my way. He was fair and I am very satisfied with his service. I feel lucky we found him because it made a good ending to our trip, Thanks, Pat! read more

Would give highest possible recommendation to Pat's garage for handling any automotive service need. Brought our car in to have broken air conditioner repaired and Pat accurately diagnosed problem immediately, then called around to get quotes on repair parts from several sources to check prices. He clearly explained a couple of service options with varying prices and then performed service we chose and was done within a couple of hours. Pat may not pick up phone immediately but will respond to messages left in timely manner. read more
