Moved to Lubbock from out of state in 2022. Luckily we didn't have any major issues with out vehicles till recently. Brought them my truck in August for a no start issue. Like the old saying goes it stopped acting up so they weren't able to diagnose at that time. Last week I ran into the same issue. Even though I was past the 30 day window for the diagnostic they still waived the fee for me. Glad we found a local mechanic we can trust! We will see y'all again for all our future maintenance. Thank you for the quick and friendly service!
