Coupon worthless

by agent94 at Citysearch

Online coupon is just a marketing tool to get you into the shop. 'Free' service actually cost over $100, when presenting coupon they said to hold on to it.

• Pros: Freindly on the phone
• Cons: Coupon worthless

Not so reasonably priced

by L2 at Citysearch

This place is as expensive as taking it to the dealer. And just like the dealer, they found more than one thing to fix.

The only difference so far is that I was in and out on the same day. They also drove me home to wait for the repair to be completed and picked me up when the repair was completed.

Hopefully the repair will hold up.

Awesome Exhaust Guru

by 1967barracuda at Citysearch

Dear Mr. Johnson,

I am writing to you today to express my gratitude to you and your fine automobile repair establishment. I am the very proud owner of a 1967 Plymouth Barracuda. I have owned this car for about fifteen years and have recently been able to finally get it on the road. I have done all of the restoration of this vehicle myself as I am very particular when it comes to “my baby”. I searched a long while to find a local company to install a duel exhaust system on this vehicle. After much discussion with other enthusiast I decided to have your shop on South First Street do the work.

I called on several occasions and spoke to Travis. He was most helpful and answered all my questions and was honest in his opinions. The day came when I trailered my beloved car to your shop for the exhaust system installation. I was met with a smile and attitude not common in the auto repair industry. Not knowing what was best for my application I spoke to your exhaust guru Julio Valdez. He was most helpful in helping me decide on what components to use and also offered his own advice as to the look and sound I was looking for.

I left my car in Julio’s hands and went home and waited. At about a quarter to three I called to inquire about my car. The man on the phone (I can’t remember his name) told me that Julio was just finishing the work. I arrived at 3 o’clock and there was Julio putting the finishing touches on my ride. He took me on a tour of the newly installed duel exhaust system. Words cannot describe the beauty of this custom system. Julio is an artist with a welder and bending machine. The look of the entire system is truly a thing to behold. Julio then lowered the vehicle down and asked me to “fire it up”.

I turned the key and WOW!!! I was shocked as it came to life. My wife also was shocked as the engine purred and the low rumble of a new born Muscle Car emerged. The sound is awesome and the workmanship is flawless. I now know that I made the right choice in choosing your establishment. I am so grateful to Mr. Julio Valdez for his vision and artistry in regards to my custom fabricated exhaust system. He truly knows how to listen to his customers and then provide them with the most beautiful sound a man can hear. The low note rumble of a very satisfied customer driving away in his Hotrod.

To add to this I drove my car around to the front to settle the bill and another customer commented “man that sounds good”. I will always refer your shop to any and all that ask me “Hey where did you get your killer exhaust done”. I will without hesitation say

“The only place to go is Leonard’s Garage”. And talk to the master artist Julio Valdez!

• Pros: Artistry with exhaust systems
• Cons: I did not go soonner
