I usually do my own car maintenance and minor repairs to save a few bucks but I needed some tires and can't do that at home. I was getting prices around town when a friend told me he got a good deal at Patriot so I checked them out. They gave me a great price on tires! While waiting for the tires to arrive from the warehouse, I mentioned a brake problem I was planning on fixing myself this weekend. The Patriot team checked things out and gave me another great price for brakes. I saved so much on the tires that I was ahead of the game and told them to do it.
Then I noticed the sign for a $12.95 oil change and tire rotation. Are you kidding me? I can't buy my own oil and filter for that price not to mention all the mess and disposing of the used oil. Crazy!
My car was finished very quickly at the price I was quoted. For inexpensive tires they ride and look great. The brakes stop better than they ever have. They didn't try to sell me things I didn't need. I got tires, front brakes and an oil change done for not very much more than tires alone would have cost me elsewhere. The best thing is that I won't be spending Saturday getting dirty changing oil and fixing brakes. I think my weekend mechanic days are over because they can do it quicker, cheaper and better than I can myself. Win, win, win!
One thing that really struck me was how friendly everybody at Patriot is. Great attitudes and they seemed like they were genuinely happy to take care of me. I was made to feel like a member of the family. I could tell the other customers there were getting the same treatment. How refreshing! I also saw that there were several older classic cars getting work done there. You know those car owners don't trust their babies to just anybody. Free coffee, donuts and wifi too!
Sorry for the long review but I can hardly explain how happy I am to have found this place. It is just such a different experience than other repair shops I've been to. I'm gonna tell everybody I know and I am never going anywhere else!
