Testimonials

On 9/24/2026 Ella Brown had this to say:
So very grateful to these guys... we are down here for vacation and noticed my brakes on my Jeep were acting a bit suspicious... they saw us within two days and fixed the issues same day. Very reasonably priced, honest & didn't try to go beyond what was actually needed... which is usually the most frustrating thing when looking for any new/unfamiliar auto care. Thank you so much !

On 5/15/2026 Sue Dunn had this to say:
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!
