Peterbilt Truck Repair 2

JM Ryan

Everyone was professional and super friendly. I went in for an inspection for my class b rv. They were quick! And had good choice of keurig coffee pods while I waited. I will definitely go back to them for other services when needed! Thanks!

I have been taking my cars to TLC for years and couldn’t say enough good things about the team there. They always communicate all issues clearly, are extremely fair priced and always a pleasure to deal with. If you ever have an issue with your vehicle, whether it is a big or small issue, these are the guys you can trust to get it done right. 5 stars for sure.

Royce Clark II

As a new owner operator, I am very skeptical about prices and procedures. The staff at TLC understood that and comforted me the whole way. Naturally, a lot of explaining had to be done. A staff member named Tyreek helped me and guided me through the whole process. (Two weeks later, and I still remember his name) At the end, I needed a service Done that was not on the invoice. A staff member completed the job and denied my $10 tip. This staff is the greatest!

I had a great experience at TLC Auto. After getting a flat tire I brought in my car. Unfortunately the tire couldn’t be saved, but Dom got my new tire on and balanced in no time. I highly recommend them.

TLC provided excellent service for my GMC Denali, including a front lift, new tires, and an oil change. Jack communicated all the details beforehand and kindly offered a loaner car during the service. I highly recommend them for their attentive care of your truck.
