Well… the internet is down, cell phone service is struggling, and today feels a little like we got sent back to 1978. 😅

BUT — we are STILL OPEN and ready to take care of you! 🔧🚗

Good news:
✅ We can still take card payments
✅ We can still work on vehicles
✅ We still know how to talk to people face-to-face 😂

So if you’re bored without service, come hang out with us while we get your vehicle taken care of!

It’s officially been 2 weeks since we rolled out our new customer vehicle tracking system! 🚗🔧

We’ve been learning as we go, and so far everything is going great — checkout may be just a little slower while we adjust, but we’re excited about all the improvements this system brings for our customers.

Some benefits of the new system include:
✅ Vehicle maintenance tracking
✅ Reporting services to Carfax
✅ Labor rate system to help ensure customers are charged fairly
✅ Service recommendations
✅ Ownership transfer history
✅ And more!

Thank you to everyone for your patience while we continue improving and growing. We’re excited for what’s ahead!

Our Mechanic “Bear” with his new puppy! There is still plenty of puppies left to adopt! Check out Kermit, Texas Pound Networking & Rescue Efforts for pics of the other available pups!

The shelter actually had 2 pups adopted yesterday but there wants only one picture captured. So here is a feel good post.

🚗 Important Update on Oil Change Pricing 🚗

We want to keep our customers informed—due to the rising cost of oil, we will be making a price adjustment to our oil change services.

We’ve worked hard to hold our pricing steady, and this is our first update since November 21, 2023. Unfortunately, increasing supplier costs have made this change necessary.

The good news:
✅ All other services and parts will NOT be affected
✅ We will continue offering 10% OFF oil changes for all First Responders, Military, Seniors and Teachers 🇺🇸

We truly appreciate your continued support and understanding. Stop by and let us take care of your vehicle!

Thank you for choosing us! 🙌
