Scott said they were honest and they told him what needed to be done, and what didn't.

Michael said he's been using them for over 20 years. He knows the guys well and they always do a great job. Tom and Jared are great to work with, and he would recommend them to anyone for service on their vehicle.

Protective services.
Excellent service. I am my family or long-term clients. But it is a model 2026, not 2025.

typical great service
Brought my Sequoia in for a tune up and a windshield washer system leak. Got it all solved and a few other needs picked up incidentally. Great work as usual.

Marie said they were so accommodating, they kept her informed and everything went smoothly. She didn't have to make an effort to do any of it other than drop her vehicle off and pick it up. They were recommended to her by another place and she would definitely recommend them. Their price was also very reasonable in comparison to going to the manufacturer.

A/C Up and Running!
This place is excellent! I brought my car to TWO other shops to fix my A/C and they both couldn't figure it out. Then I went to Automotive Instincts. They solved the problem and I could not be happier with my overall experience with them. They have all my future business. Thanks again to AI !
