Where do I start? This place was absolutely amazing. I had my 2500 GMC Denali towed into this shop after I had some electical wires burn out below and into the bottom of the main fuse box. I really thought I was going to be taken to the cleaners and simply at the mercy of whatever they felt like charging me. That was just my honest thought process. But amazingly and to my surprise...they were going out of their way to save me money by calling junk yards to get the pig tail that I needed versus just calling me up on the phone and saying, "We can get you a new part out of Michigan for $800"....end of story. Let's be honest...99% of repair shops would not even be bothered with callling around to multiple junk yards (which initially brought them the wrong parts requested) and would have just ordered me a new part...easier for them...and nothing in it for them to go through the hassle of calling around to save the customer money when its not the industry standard to do so and nobody else would be doing it. I never had to call up and ask what's going on with my truck because they were texting me pictures and screen shots of back and forth communication with the junk yards, which was complete nightmare and not something I would want to be bothered with as a business. To wrap this up...I've already ranted and raved to anybody that would listen to how great they have been. My sister in law is bringing her car in next week. And although I really do hope I have no more issues with my truck...I am happy that I found an HONEST repair shop that I fully trust to take care of any break downs in the future. And if you have owned a vehicle for any length of time and needed repairs you know how damn difficult that can be. Break downs happen...we all realize they are part of owning a vehicle but nobody wants to be at the mercy of a repairs shop ripping you off. Take your vehicle...you won't be scammed and they will actually go unnecessarily out of their way to save you money. So glad I brought my truck here instead of the dealership. Really appreciate the hard work and the honesty Sparks. Thank you for not screwing me!!!

And they test drove it at least 3x which is really important to determine if issues are solved. They did a fantastic job! And the van is running again!! 199k mileage!

Sparks is our go to place for our vehicles. They are honest & their mechanics know how to work on all models. They are not the cheapest but are the BEST! They even told us one time that they could repair it because the underside had massive rust problems and wouldn't worth the cost to fix. They suggested we look for another vehicle. Our decision. It was a 94. We were thankful for their opinion.

08/07/2023

Brought my vehicle in for multiple not so little issues last week. They took their time to evaluate, prioritize, provide estimates and answer my questions for each issue. There was a few complications, including a defective part - which extended the time the car had to be there from 1 day to 4, however Julie and Rick the tech ~ went above and beyond to ensure the vehicle didn't leave knowing it could be a safety risk. Julie called regularly and kept me in the loop and provided alternative solutions as things came up. The car still needs more work, but the big issues have been fixed and the car is running so much better and the stress of worrying it's going to break down is GONE! I will be scheduling all the additional services with them in next few weeks. This was my first time using their services, but I will not be taking my vehicle anywhere else going forward! Thank you Sparks :)

Mr Sparks was able to both diagnose, and fix a problem, that no other mechanic, including dealerships, could understand.

You will not find a more ethical, trustworthy, technical advanced autop truck firm -Sparks-for a thousand miles. This is a special ,very human place. I had very difficult complex,multifaceted electrical issues. A screwed up job by another garage brought me to sparks. They fixed the first set of issues then took on new issues related but different that were found . They worked on my car for three more days .They stood by their initial work and the different issues that arose. They seemed to be saying we are professional and we should have thought to test for that. They worked for three days (charging,testingetc) at no further charge. The list of what they did to my car goes on and on. They take pride in their work and their good name. They fit me in their busy schedule because my family was visiting from Canada . When Julie said ?no charge? I said that was not right or fair. I gave some cash , they gave the money I insisted they take to their staff person and charity. They are Christian or Buddhist for real. Julie the heart of the operation is the best auto diagnostician I have ever met. She will make your day go better and she has an encyclopedic knowledge of cars. As does her team. We have to support independent good people to succeed. I wrote this note because I felt so thankful that such a team still exists in our negotiating world. Sparks small, smart , caring and fun. Makes one want more world like this .

This place does great work at a reasonable price, no BS and no eye gouging. They diagnose your problem, tell you how much it will cost, fix it, then call you pick up your vehicle. It's that simple.

Pat and his mechanics have worked on all my vehicles for over 30 years and I can count on them to do the repairs the best way possible.

This is a place you can trust. I fear going to get my car fixed because of how many times I have been completely screwed by dealerships and even privately owned places. However, this place does not fall into that category. The people are so nice and the price breakdown was so reasonable. I took my VW Beetle in to get the AC charged and to get it looked at to see if anything needed fixing. They found a nail in my tire and patched it up, oil change, wiper blades, and did a free break inspection and tire rotation. I will definitely go back again!!

Great customer service! I will forever be a customer. My first experience with Sparks was when I brought my Buick Encore in because my Entertainment System went black...I took it to the local Buick dealership first and they said I needed a whole new system at a cost of $1,400. Sparks was able to quickly fix it within minutes at a cost of $36.00!

I called to see how their schedule was and told her my brakes were making a funny sound. I also asked a friend if she had any suggestions,the friend replied since your car has been sitting for awhile the brakes can settle. I told Julie on the phone that and she said yes that's true then told me how to check for a locked caliber., giving me some good info which I really appreciated! So when I do need repairs, that's where I'm going

Bringing my vehicle to sparks was the best decision. They did a fantastic job on the services I needed done, and the service manager Julie made sure I was taken care of properly. She kept me informed every step of the way, and detailed everything so we both understood and were on the same page. If you have a problem or need something done with your car/truck, you will be in good hands at sparks.

Tried Sparks for the first time as they came highly recommended and they surely did not disappoint. They were quick to schedule my appointment, did a thorough job with an oil change, tire rotation and alignment as well as having let me know it was time to change my cabin air and engine filters. The service was completed rather quickly and everyone was super friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back for future services.

I had a bad ignition module & coil on my Chevy pick-up. After having it towed to Sparks, it was running and ready to be picked up within a couple of days. Sparks was prompt in fixing my issue and the owner was involved throughout the entire process. Their hard work, due diligence and strong work ethic speaks for itself. My friends and other family members have used Sparks and always had a positive outcome so I would highly recommend them to anyone.

My Chevy 2003 van had a intermittent electrical problem that effect my O2 sensors. Pat thought they had it figured out and it ran fine. But the problem came back. Pat took the van back and the Sparks team took a few days to chase down the pesky wire issue and fix it. Pat did not charge for the extra troubleshooting time. Intermittent issues are tough to chase down. Thanks Pat !

The chief mechanic has a wall full of certifications and is an expert on safety and all aspects of auto repair even got a great deal on a new set of tires - the best auto repair co. I have ever seen 100 percent confidence in them I had neglected earlier repairs I am lucky to have found them.

Sparks accepted to do electrical work on my rare 1973 Volvo P1800 ES. Julie, the service manager, is courteous and well qualified. She asked all the right questions prior to appointment and kept in touch during the arduous search for the problem. I was allowed to talk with the mechanics when they had difficulty finding a nonstock park needed. The mechanics were were technically proficient and polite. The company was patient while I ordered parts. A few days after the work was done and I had picked the car up, Patrick gave me a follow up call. In short, the people at Sparks, admin, mechanics and owner, are all professionals and I highly recommend the company.

Absolutely thrilled with Sparks! Down here on vacation and started having car problems. Sparks was recommended by our Napa affiliate in Ontario. The owner Patrick, through communication with our mechanic back home, figured out the parts were still under warranty. Cost to us was negligible. Fantastic customer service! Also a shout out to Dominic for great customer service also!
