What make us different?

We take time to fix your car and fix it right!
We give you options whenever possible
We make every effort to work within your budget
Read on to see other reasons we believe we can best serve you.

First, we listen to what you are reporting is wrong with the car or what you would like done.

Second, we test drive every car before working on it.

Why?
First, if you are having a problem, to try to experience what you are reporting. Second, if you are in for routine service, we will sometimes feel, hear or see something that you might not be aware of (loose steering, noises, brakes that pull, engine misfire, etc). This is for your safety. You would be amazed how easy it is for people to grow accustomed to a noise, loose steering or soft brake pedal over the course of time, and not realize there is a problem until it is too late.

Third, we do not work flat rate.

Dealership technicians and most chain stores pay their technicians a set amount to accomplish a job. Frequently, it is an amount for less time than a job actually requires. This leads to cut corners, incomplete repairs, and certainly incomplete diagnostics. We know. We have seen the results. You see, dealership techs are paid only a very minimal amount to perform diagnostics (maybe 1/2 hour). Today's cars are very complex. Doing proper diagnostics and repairs takes time.

Fourth, we test drive every car after working on it.

Sometimes we do extensive test drives. Sometimes, with the customer's permission, we keep cars overnight or for several days. We want to make sure the car is right before returning it to you.

Fifth, we have been in business since 1958.

Our employees are active in the community. We are proud of the history and reputation of quality that we enjoy. We want to meet you outside of the workplace with pride. We want you to be able to refer your friends and relatives to us with confidence.

Sixth, we are a NAPA AutoCare Center

This makes us part of a unique network that ensures you a quality repair, by trained technicians, using quality equipment and quality parts. See our NAPA AutoCare page for details.

Seventh, we are an ASE Blue Seal Shop.

We employ three ASE certified technicians. Two are ASE Master technicians. That qualifies us as an ASE Blue Seal shop, one of only two in York as of November, 2005!

Eighth, we have dealer and factory level computer scan tools so we can best repair any problem with your vehicle.
