Summary: Couldn't be happier

Review: Pretty good overall. I would ask that the receipt show the number of hours spent on my head gasket job instead of just total labor dollars. Also, my battery was pretty much dead when I picked up the car and I almost got stuck when it barely cranked after a stop on the way home. Had to trickle charge it overnight to get it going again. Wife was not happy :(

Reply: Hi there....Just divide the amount by $149.00 to get hourly cost. Our hourly rate is posted above the office. And if you asked, we could of told you also. So sorry about that! Almost everyone in the service business makes labor into a job price. The closest repair facility is $170.00 an hour and most dealers are $160 to $225... And sorry about the battery, it (of course) worked fine for us. If you continue to have battery issues, please lets us know. Or even better. come by and we can test it for you.
