Customer Review

★★★★★

By far one of the best auto repair shop I've ever used. Like many who live here, we've moved multiple times. The most consistently challenging local find is a trustworthy, competent auto repair shop. After a couple of friends recommended East Coast highly we gave them a try. That was over 6 years ago and to this day remains one of our best move in decisions ever. The gang at East Coast is dependable, friendly, thorough, and fairly priced. If you're looking, use these guys. You'll thank me.
