On 8/9/2025 Walter Lopez had this to say:
If you hate b.s. then this is the place to go. In. Out. Done. They work well and they work fast. And the best part is: NO B.S. They won't waste your time, they won't talk circles around you. They'll just fix it. Prices are very fair too. They fixed my Chevy and handled my daddy's Caddy like true professionals. 10out of 10

Hello good folks! I had to have my 2019 Nissan Pathfinder SV's driver side, lower control arm replaced. Dropped my baby off with Brad, went home, was there maybe an hour, then they called me and told me that my baby was ready! Fast and efficient work these great folks do and my baby, although she's a Pathfinder, is coasting like a smooth Cadillac! Thanks to Brad and their Awesome team!

On 4/2/2025 Jessica Brown had this to say:
I've been taking my vehicles to Brad and Dale for a couple years now and They are truly the only mechanics that I am so comfortable and trustworthy of; that I can just call and drop my vehicle off at any given time and know that they will never try and rip me off or offer to work on a problem that Does not exist. I feel as though I've had problems with every other mechanic I've ever had work on my vehicles, Whether they be reputable shops that are just extremely high priced or shops that claim to be reputable, but will cause more damage than your vehicle had before it went in, I just always seem to be very weary and paranoid when it comes to mechanics. This is the ONLY, the ONE and ONLY shop that I trust with my whole heart And I swear to you, it's the best feeling in the world because Good-Honest mechanics are almost impossible to find.

I've been taking my car to Brad for a few years now. I always get great service which I expect but the thing that makes Spec the best, is they give me good advice. Any shop can get you a quote and do the work. This team helps you make the best decisions.
