Outstanding shop, service, and team! We just moved to the area, and I could find this shop easily online. I now had three things done with my car: an oil change, an AC recharge, and an AC Compressor Kit change, all with excellent service! I admit there was a hiccup on my last visit. However, the team was so amiable, professional, and accommodating that we found a resolution. I can admit there is little I can say about myself or any customer with a hiccup because it can be frustrating, but the team reacted great! Overall, my experience with Mr. Ben was fantastic. He is very knowledgeable, friendly, and very reasonable with pricing, which is excellent for the community. I will surely be a returning customer! Thank you, Ben's Tire and Auto Repair.
