I found Eastside Auto Care, Inc. online and it was the only auto care place with consistently great reviews so I decided to take in my wife's 2000 Jeep Cherokee in to have major service performed. The car had 80k miles and nothing had ever been done to it other than regular oil changes and the occasional air filter replaced. I knew it needed all the fluids changed out; new spark plugs; the leak in the differential taken care of; and the brakes looked over because they were squeaking something awful. The car also needed new shocks (which I had purchased at OReillys and were in the back of the car). I told Dave (the owner at Eastside Auto Care) that I was going to install the shocks myself at home to save some money. Dave looked over the car and gave me a list of things that needed attention (nothing really new to me) so I set up an appointment for the following Monday to have the work performed. He said it would take about a day to do all the work and it did. When I came to pick up my car, he took me into the garage and thoroughly showed me what they did. As an added surprise, Dave also installed my shocks at no cost! He went on to say the original bolts holding the shocks in place were pretty rusted and broke off when removing the old shocks. This could have been disastrous if I had done this at home. Dave tapped out the old broken off bolts and installed the new shocks with new nut and bolt sets. He said he decided to install the shocks because the bolts on the jeeps can sometimes be a problem and he didnt want me to go through an ordeal. WHO IS THIS GUY??? NO BODY TREATS YOU LIKE THIS!!! He is like having a brother in the car repair business making sure everything is done right at fair price. Dave also rolled in all the discounts he has advertised into my bill without me asking for them. If you're looking for an honest, knowledgeable repair shop that will treat you and your car right, STOP LOOKING, THIS IS IT!!! Im recommending him to everyone!
