Gave me exactly what I needed and didn’t upsell a thing. Quote was less than half of the surrounding areas for same diagnosis. In fact, they even told me I didn’t need to pay for something I was ready to pay for and thought I needed. Easily the most honest auto shop I’ve ever been to. Very impressed

I've been going to Rising Sun for years and I've always had an excellent experience. Everyone is friendly and Kai is amazing. I've gone to him for everything from oil checks and maintenance to having car issues and he's always been able to get everything fixed quickly and efficiently.
