What Our Clients Say
EXCELLENT Based on 185 reviews Posted on Google Elizabeth FoglesongTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a Para Educator, my income is very tight, and I made sure they knew that. I own a GMC Diesel, my check engine light came on. I took in, they looked it over, informed me that my vehicle is made for hwy driving not short term/city driving. They fixed it without having to replace parts. Told me what to do the next time it comes back on. (YES, I researched what I was told and sure enough, they were spot on. NO BS.) They are my new and only repair shop! I only paid for the labor ($591.00), which I expected it to be more costly than what I was charged.Posted on Google Kathleen MoralesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The team there is awesome and the truly care about fixing your vehicle. They explain everything out and what needs to be fixed and cost. They will even tell you if they can't fix it for you and why. Really appreciate the honesty of this company. They tried to fix my Kia and were not able to and they were honest about it, saving me over $500. I appreciate this so much that I made sure once it was time for my sister-in-law's car to be repaired we went there to have it fixed and they did fix it and it was done in a day.Posted on Google Keith ColeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great customer service from Mark. Very accommodating. Thank you!Posted on Google Cheyanne SchaeferTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is the third automotive shop I’ve visited trying to figure out what was wrong with my car (clicking noise), and the first one that was able to fix it! They explained everything, showed me what happened, and were so thorough and kind. The team is knowledgeable, friendly, and truly ethical. They care about doing the right thing and being in the people business while delivering great work on vehicles. I can’t recommend this place highly enough! Thank you Goods Automotive for being the best!Posted on Google Ryan K.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Long time user of another shop that lost our trust…Goods was recommended by two different friends and their service did not disappoint! What a relief for an otherwise stressful situationPosted on Google April BTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I will only trust Goods with our family and friends. Honest, friendly and will take care of you.Posted on Google Jessica DockumTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
