Emily LaRocca
I recently purchased a car and took it to TLC for its first service! I was working with service Advisor, Brian and him and his crew took amazing care of my car for me! I have always gone to dealerships for my service and always felt taken advantage of. This was NOT the case here! They’ve got my business for life!
Marc Shuman
Excellent shop with top flight personnel. Always ready to help and most importantly fair pricing and quick service
Chris Sweeney
I have been taking my cars to TLC for years and couldn’t say enough good things about the team there. They always communicate all issues clearly, are extremely fair priced and always a pleasure to deal with. If you ever have an issue with your vehicle, whether it is a big or small issue, these are the guys you can trust to get it done right. 5 stars for sure.

Everyone was professional and super friendly. I went in for an inspection for my class b rv. They were quick! And had good choice of keurig coffee pods while I waited. I will definitely go back to them for other services when needed! Thanks!

Brought my car into TLC auto repair on a Sunday & dropped my keys off. I work a lot of hours & needed my car back as soon as possible. By Monday early day, my repair was completed & my car was ready to go. The guys did a fantastic job, they were quick….
