First, let me say I am a very detailed person and was also a mechanic as well, but I do something else now for a living. I have tried the local automotive service franchise "chain" type stores with their on again and off again reliability and have had enough of the high prices as well. I expect perfection from repair services and don't appreciate their hit and miss approach to finding the cause of vehicle issues. Discovering Brads was very fortuitous. I originally started going to Brad's Auto about three or four years ago when I spotted an oil change coupon for them at my local credit union. Even though I could do the work myself, it doesn't make sense when they could do it quicker and cheaper than I could, and bonus- I don't have to get dirty! The trust I have developed with Brad and his crew over the past few years is nothing short of wonderful. I could not say that about any other automotive service I have EVER dealt with. They not only take the time to explain when and why your vehicle may need something, but also when it doesn't! (try and get that kind of honesty from a dealership or franchise chain service department!) They offer solutions to fit your budget if need be, and work efficiently and quickly. Price-wise, I have yet to meet a more fair service establishment. I now take not only all of my vehicles to them for services big and small, but both of my kids cars as well, and recommend them to anyone looking for great service from certified knowledgeable mechanics at excellent prices.
