The service was beyond compared.. Honest people and they do good work. They always stand before their work and very easy to work with. I wouldn't think of going anywhere else.

I called Ingrams for a quote on a set of tires I was interested in but Mr Ingram helped me find a better and less expensive tire. His service was awesome, he had the tires ordered and installed in 2 days. I have to say the tires he sold me are AMAZING! Super quiet and as promised my car even rides better. I highly recommend this shop, super professional, knowledgeable, and great service!

Ingram Auto Care is truly in a league of its own. Their honesty, knowledge, and quality of work are unlike anything else in the industry. From the moment you walk in, you can tell they genuinely care about doing what's right for their customers--not upselling or cutting corners. They take the time to explain issues clearly, answer questions thoroughly, and only recommend what actually needs to be done. The workmanship is top-notch, and the pricing is more than fair for the level of expertise and service you receive. It's rare to find an auto shop you can fully trust, but Ingram Auto Care has earned that trust completely. If you're looking for reliable, skilled, and honest mechanics, this is the place to go.
