Gary from Ryan's garage was exceptional. My car had died at a remote cottage. He quickly researched my type of car and brought all the necessary types of tools. He could not have been nicer when he showed up, gave my car the booster it needed, and I was on my way. Highly recommend this company. Thank you so much!

It is quite a distance for me to get there, but well worth the trip. I have confidence in their recommendations and work, always taking time to explain the problem carefully and exactly what has to be done and what can wait. No surprises. Always professional, honest and friendly. Good people!

I found myself in a really bad jam last night. Off the road in a terrible place and these guys really saved me. Not only did they get me out under bad circumstances, I had some issues with a tire and a door not closing. They fixed it for me right on the side of the road. Could have said any number and I would have paid it, but all came in at a very fair and reasonable price. Can't thank enough. I honestly don't know what I would have done without you guys. I'm going to Purolate your strap and flashlight back to you ASAP.

Great service, inexpensive and trustworthy guys! I used to go to Den's Garage on Preston because they would never do you wrong and would always, always be the lowest price possible. This might be my new go to place for my vehicles because they seem to be the same way.
