They don't ******** people, they don't nickel and dime you, they do reasonable work for reasonable prices, they'll tell costumers "yes I could rebuild that engine and we're happy to do it, but it's probably not worth it depending on your plans for that car", they do free taillight labor and stuff like that during inspections, etc.

They also all seem to mostly enjoy their jobs.
We have the same attitude too, I think. I mean, sometimes it's worth it to fix something, but sometimes it's not. And I think as a shop everyone is honest. If we damage a car we're the first ones to say it (which is why it irks me when a customer accuses us of breaking something). I think honestly I'm done with the customer facing side of things.

I appreciate the thought on United Tire. When I Google it seems to be a Pennsylvania company?
