My son and I were on the last leg of a 3200 mile circuit around the big national parks and Moab when we experienced a nuanced failure of the AC system. FC expertly diagnosed and repaired the 911, and went over and above on the pickup logistics.

Barry B.

I have used this business for service and repairs and want to give them the highest recommendation. Therin and his crew go out of their way to assure my car gets top care and accommodate my needs. Their expertise with high end European, exotic and vintage cars is unmatched.

Sepp S.

Shops owner Therin is extremely knowledgeable. I have had many vehicles repaired there over the years and have never been jacked around on the price. He is very busy so it may not be a "next day service" type of establishment..but if you want instant repair...Walmart in Montrose is open.
