Shilpa S P

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Friendly staff, reasonable pricing and were timely about repairs. They did not try to hustle for doing more than I wanted or needed, which can be tough to find in auto shops.

Mason S

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

You guys are great. Only suggestion I have would be to text me the extra cost it’s going to be when you run into problems so I always know what my running balance is going to be without me asking. Not a big deal. You always work with me and do a great job and look out for me trying to keep the cost down but making it safe to drive. Thanks for the great service and sincere dedication

Vicky H

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had a wonderful experience with Automotive Procare. They communicated effectively, providing lots of pictures which I really appreciated. Their email and texting service were user-friendly and they did not inconvenience me with a barrage of phone calls attempting to upsell me, unlike other places I've been to in the past. I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants an honest and knowledgeable staff working on their vehicle.

Adam L

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Highly recommend you bring your vehicle to Automotive ProCare. The name says it all, pros that care. Darrian showed me every inch of my car so I know exactly what condition things are in so we can be "pro"-active in my car maintenance instead of reactive. I rely very much on the old girl so she deserves great care! Thanks guys!

Denise S

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I was in this December had a few specific requests for my Prius. My technician was on it; he took great care and was very thorough. Great team, great vibe, very personable.

I love having an auto repair team I can trust. I can call them up and they will do their best to get me in asap. They break down repairs into “needs asap” and “should do soonish” so I can prioritize my budget and the maintenance of my primary mode of transportation. I love the text/app that shows me my green-yellow-red items so I know they are using their expertise to just keep an eye on everything. Thanks Auto ProCare!

As a Master Certified Technician with over 20 years of experience, Colin is committed to providing efficient and accurate vehicle repairs. Outside of work, he enjoys spending time outdoors with his wife Erin and their three daughters—Evelyn, Amelia, and June—engaging in activities on the family farm or exploring the woods.
