Reviews
What Boise drivers say
“They sent photos of my cracked serpentine belt to my phone. The dealer just told me the number and expected me to nod.”
Tara N., 2017 Subaru Outback
“Told me my transmission repair would cost more than the truck was worth and did not charge me for the diagnosis. That is why I bring them everything now.”
Curt B., Meridian
“Timing belt came in $300 under the dealer quote and they had it back the next afternoon.”
Josie L., 2015 Honda Accord
FAQ
How service works here
Do I need an appointment?
For oil changes and inspections we can usually take you same day. Diagnostics and larger repairs run two to four days out, and we will tell you the honest wait when you call.
Will you use my own parts?
We can, but the labor warranty drops to 12 months and we do not warranty the part itself. For most repairs our supplier pricing ends up close to what you would pay online anyway.
Is the diagnostic fee applied to the repair?
Yes, the $135 comes off the repair bill if you have us do the work. If you take the written diagnosis elsewhere the fee stands, since it is an hour of a technician's time.
Do you work on European cars?
We service most VW, Audi and BMW models with factory level scan tools. We do not take on Porsche, Land Rover or air suspension work and will refer you to a specialist rather than guess.
