Oil change on my Mercedes benz Sprinter van. All new motor on the AWD 2025 chassis. Steve and the boys took care of me, reset all the notifications and oil levels on the computer, no leaks, everything was wiped down clean. This thing is a beast right under 12ft. Tall..... It fit in his shop.

Steve was great. We had an oil leak on a long road trip; he helped us figure out what to do about it.

Front right axle on a hard to fix 1985 VW 4WD Van went out. Steve identified the problem within minutes and had the van repaired and ready for us to pick up in 3 days. He even helped find us a rental car. We had a great experience.
