Took my car in for the first time to Car Nuts and Terry was so helpful. Great service and a great turn around time from dropping it off and able to get it back the same day even with several issues I had asked him to look at. Recommend Car Nuts if you want fast, reliable and friendly service!
We have classic cars and modern cars and we have taken them to Terry for several years and he helps us. He doesn't push a bunch of crap we don't need, he simply fixes what we ask him to fix and he is great at what he does. He's saved us so many times, and we appreciate him very much. If you want a good mechanic, who isn't just in it for the money, and doesn't BS around, go see Terry. You won't be disappointed!
Terri is an excellent mechanic, but it does pay to let them know you're coming because it is extremely busy and he's the only one on staff.
Extremely professional. He did the work on our truck very well. He was very honest and he kept communicating with us over the couple of days. He's local, right in the area. It was suggested to use the shop and I am happy with the service.
