Praise

  • This is the place to go to for an honest mechanic..I’m so thankful I’ve found Denver and Jason. They both immediately understood and isolated a problem that other local mechanics couldn’t even diagnose.. I spent several hundred on people misdiagnosing something that was readily apparent to Denver and then Jason when I brought it in. I can’t say good enough things about this place. If you want an honest mechanic– look no further. They know their trucks!!! Super place.

  • Top notch service! Marty, Denver and Sue are amazing. They were honest about what needed to be done to get my daughter’s 20+ year truck on the road again and worked within my budget. This was my first experience dealing with their shop and I will definitely be using them again. Thank you SC Imported Truck Service!!

  • Highest recommendation for any work on Japanese cars. Denver and Stephanie are knowledgeable, friendly, and generous, and will deal with your repair needs both thoroughly and economically. This has been my cherished go-to place for auto work for decades (and two generations). Check them out!

  • This is the ONLY place I will take my little Rav4! Great service, good prices and nice people. I have never been BSed into getting something that my car did not need. It is a little hard to get an appointment here sometimes, BUT I am always willing to wait to have these guys work on my car.

  • This place is the BEST. They fixed my van fast and saved me a ton of money, and didn’t try to add unnecessary repairs. They are very busy, because it’s the best, most honest shop in town, and people know it. I wouldn’t take my van anywhere else. I can’t recommend them enough! Good solid people running a good solid shop.
