Tony Bonsignore2025-06-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mike and his team Were extremely helpful in finding the problem in my vehicle. MIKE walked me through the problem and then did the repair. Thanks MIKE for all your help. Beau Peters2025-04-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thrust auto is the best mechanic I have ever been to. There are other mechanics in the area but Mike and his team take their time to explain everything they do, they have very reasonable prices, great availability, and despite being very thorough they are always extremely prompt. I can't imagine going anywhere else to get my auto work done and I will always come back to Mike and his team no matter what. This is how business should be done. Sherry Lu2025-04-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We came for a prepurchase inspection today and were very impressed with how thorough and professional they were. They understood that I was an amateur and took the time to point to me key issues with the vehicle, explaining about the maintainance of this model, and provided a hand-written note for me to reference when talking to the dealer of the car--items I should insist on the dealers to repair as part of the purchase. At the end, they charged me less than what they quoted me on the phone and offered a free examination on the listed issues after the dealer made the promised repairs. Really wonderful people. I hope they stay in business for a very long time! MATHEW MEO2025-03-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thrust Auto has been my family's go-to shop since 2004. I've known Joe for years, probably since he was a kid. Mike and Joe are hands down two of the best in the business. From major repairs to collision and body work, they do it all. I trust no one else with our vehicles. If you want it done right from the start, look no further—these are the guys you want.

My Family and I have been taking are vehicles to Mike for over 20 years now , Very professional & a really great guy, always explains what he's going to repair and walks you through what the vehicle needs before he and his staff begin, like one of reviews above stated my daughter had a nail in her tire and Mike would take the time even when it was crazy busy to patch and repair so my daughter would be safe and on her way there's many more examples of Mike and his staff going that extra mile ,my family been dealing with Mike for 20 years now , at the end of the day you feel good and confident that your car and yourself were taken care of when the repair was completed . Exceptional, Trustworthy , Very professional and the staff Excellent dave frangy2024-09-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The service is exceptional!
