Posted on Google Steven ClarkTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I got good quality work, with honest diagnostics. I love that they don't just throw parts at something until it's fixed with me footing the bill. Thank you mike for a great experience!Posted on Google True BeliverTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just wanted to share a truly stellar experience I had recently. If you're on the hunt for a new set of wheels, you absolutely *have* to check out these folks. Honestly, they're a total game-changer when it comes to car shopping. From the moment I stepped foot in their shop, everything was incredibly transparent and easy-going. There was zero pressure, just genuine, honest conversations, which was such a breath of fresh air. They're not just selling cars; they're genuinely focused on helping you find what's right for you. What really blew me away was their incredible kindness and dedication. I actually popped in on a Friday, pretty much as they were winding down for the day. Instead of rushing me, they went completely above and beyond – they ended up staying open an extra two hours just to make sure I felt totally comfortable and confident with my decision. That level of commitment and patience is just outstanding! I ended up driving away with a car I love, and the entire process was so smooth and pleasant. Seriously, you won't find a more wonderful and trustworthy team out there. I can't recommend them highly enough for anyone looking to buy a car!Posted on Google Gina CarterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Highly recommended!Posted on Google Keith SirofTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Michael Cox of Cox Motorsports, I have personally known for several years now and have had my car serviced here many times. I just had a cylinder gasket replaced on my Honda and he saved me over $2100 from the first quote I got from another shop. So glad I towed it to his shop. It’s nice dealing with someone honest. 5 stars. -KeithPosted on Google Shawn NicloyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. For the last 2 years Michael has been my go-to mechanic. He recently rebuilt my fuel pump system and has done handfuls of other things on my other vehicle.
