A note from Dan Sample note
My father opened this shop to fix cars the way he would want his own fixed: tell the truth about what it needs, and the price before we start.
I'm still in the bays most days. If something is not right, call and ask for me.

They found the noise two other shops missed, and called me with the price before they started. No surprises.

Fair price on front brakes and done the same day. They showed me the old pads.

Honest shop. They told me the repair the dealer quoted could wait a year. Parts took a couple of days.
