Needed battery/alternator checked. They diagnosed bad alternator, ordered the part on a Saturday. Replaced 1st thing Monday morning. Took exactly the time he told me. FAST WORK. Very reasonable pricing. Mechanic rate/hr less than expected. Definitely will work with them.

Very friendly, very good prices, lots of parts to choose from, also very helpful staff. Have been there three times in the last 2 days minus Sunday because of how well I was treated there. Definitely plan on going back again when needed. Even after I bought a tire and put it on and found out it was bad, I brought it back there he took it looked at it and said Go back and find another one and there was no hassle. He would have put the tire on himself but the tire machine is broken right now and he felt very bad about that part. So definitely I wish I could give more than five stars.

Think of Crystal Mike's as less of a junk yard and more like a treasure hunt for car guys. I stop by whenever I'm in the area (once or twice every five years or so).
