Five stars for Absolute Auto! I brought my wife’s Honda in today, and Brandon got back to me quickly with an injector issue. He also did the research and found that Honda would cover the repair at the dealership at no cost to us. That kind of honesty and attention to detail earns my trust and future business. From one Brandon to another—great name, even better service!

Absolute Auto completely saved the day! My car unexpectedly started having issues. I had my car towed to them after hours without an appointment and even though they were busy, they managed to squeeze me in. The communication was incredible—they kept me updated via [text/phone] with clear explanations of what went wrong. They fixed it the very next day and charged a very fair price. Huge shoutout to the whole team at absolute for turning a stressful situation into a fantastic experience! 10/10 recommend! Finding a quality trustworthy mechanic seems like finding a needle in a haystack! Look no further! I’ve used them multiple times over the years and every time they’ve delivered fair quality work every single time!

It's great to have a local European auto shop finally. The new owner, Garrison is great and knows his stuff. His staff is amazing too. Even if you're not local, this shop is honest and true. They work on all cars that need engine help. Thank you Absolute Auto! Forever a customer!!

Went in not knowing an issue my car had. They found a simple resolution and didn’t charge me for anything unnecessary. I will go here again because they seem honest and genuine.
