I do not usually write on these things but felt compelled to share my Xpress Auto Care experience with the "blogosphere". Growing up the son of a mechanic, I'm always weary of visiting independent automotive repair shops. Luckily, I have have been educated in the art of bullsh.. and can quickly spot it. Xpress Auto Care was straight forward and honest. The mechanic walked me through my estimate line by line and explained what was urgent and what could wait. That alone was a breath of fresh air, considering the routine as.. pounding I get every time I visit the dealership. Even better, they honored my military veteran discount on top of that. For those of you that are hesitant to visit any place other than a dealership, I say give Xpress Auto Care a try. It worked out well for me and would be willing to bet that you would work out well for you too !!!
