I saved hundreds of dollars by coming to Cooks instead of repair shops that were closer to home for me in another city. They fixed my Subaru quickly and for the best price around!! The staff is pleasant and helpful. Don’t waste your time or money going anywhere else.

Straightforward. Honest. Went in for a pre-purchase inspection. Received honest feedback and that’s what I asked for! Pricing can’t beat too. I even questioned them on it. They also found a couple broken leaf spring clamps that they drew my attention to. Thank you guys!
