These guys are fast, thorough, and friendly. - Zach G. (5 star review on Google)

I just want to give a shutout to Clint. New Years Eve when my mail Jeep transmission went out, I called everywhere, the quotes and the flat refusals to fix it had me so stressed. Clint is on my route and I called him, he said bring it in.. I will get you a quote. Not only did he look at it, he found a lot of issues... he found me a transmission, 2 tires, fixing my brakes, the oil pan leak, the other multiple issues, and all within my budget. He is awesome! - Misty W. (recommended on Facebook)

The Schaeffer magic rocks, fluid in the radiator, roadside tire repair ( Clint was there in literally minutes ) and the slow leak in a radiator hose, the car is starting to sparkle, it runs way better after any visit to Cliff, him and the crew care about cars, and go beyond to make them sing, and they made it under the estimate. Touch that! Thanks to the whole crew!
