I had an A/C problem that had previously been diagnosed but not repaired. I was worked into the their schedule the first thing the next morning after speaking with them in person. The customer representative made certain that I understood that they would be doing their own assessment. I had considered that a good idea before arriving at Sparks. I did not want to misdirect the mechanics as to the cause of the problem. I was quoted and approximate price and advised what was to be done and what might be some additional costs. The work was completed in a timely manner as I needed my vehicle for an appointment out of town the next day. The customer representative is very knowledgeable of the workings of an automobile and the process the technical staff follow. I was please with the results and the expense was well with in the original estimate.

09/03/2024

Quickly and accurately diagnosed and gave me multiple options as well as letting me know the next steps I need to take. They were not pushy and didn't make me feel like I was just being upsold. They understood without me having to say how much I value my vehicle. The ladies working the front desk are very balanced in their IQ and Emotional Intelligence.

Husband and I took our car there today for the first time. They got us in quickly and the staff was very nice. Needless to say when we drove our 2023 Kia off the lot after they did our maintenance tune up, oil change and tire rotation something didn't feel right then all of a sudden we see our lug nuts flying off then goes our tire and our rotor hit the street hard and damaged our front left corner panel. I called immediately as we were only a block away. They came as quick as they could got our car back to the shop put us in a rental and said they will take care of us. They were all so concerned and helped us right away. Even though mishaps happen I can't get mad. Mistakes happen just glad nobody was hurt or injured.

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!!!

They quickly took care of the starter issues I had with this van. It wasn't in their shop for very long, which is another example of their excellent service.

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. In four hours, they saw the problem, but others couldn?t figure out for months.

I would give Sparks my highest recommendation. I have used them multiple times over the past four months to restore a 2005 Acura numerous mechanical work needed to be done every single time. It was done with the upmost professionalism done on time and as or before, promised. I cannot say enough good things I would absolutely recommend them to everyone of my family members and all of my friends.

I recently had an intermittent electrical issue with my Hyundai Genesis causing the car to lose all power on certain occasions. This was my first time using Sparks and they came highly recommended from a friend. They diagnosed the problem quickly, order the new parts and communicated with me during the process.

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 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!!

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.
