I went in the shop preparing for a long wait, but was pleasantly surprised to be seen right away. By now the second stresser had kicked in, what was it going to cost? That worry was also not a worry at all when I was told the price. Good there to. The staff was also pleasant and courteous. I will definitely be back , but in the future from the beginning there will be no worries. Great job!

Eric’s has been proven to be trustworthy. The staff and service were both good. During a diagnostic on my vehicle I was informed that work done at another shop wasn’t correctly done and I should take my car back to the previous mechanic. I did and the work was re-done. Thank you Eric!

I stopped by 30 minutes before they closed hoping to get my headlight fixed but prepared to be asked to come back the next day. Not only did they fix my headlight but they also put air in my tires and fixed my license plate light in less than 15 minutes. Incredibly kind and efficient service.

Flew in from Chicago to drive my daughters car back home to find out it was having multiple issues. I brought it to Eric’s and they gave me a very detailed list of what it needed. They did the repairs and i made it home with no issues. I want to send a special thank you to Yolanda, Service Advisor, for all her help and hospitality.
