I was not sure from their reviews that they were reputable. After researching auto repair reviews this shop SCOTTY'S stood out with its excellent reviews. My son is a full time college student and p/t work and really doesn't have the finances for major repairs or a shop that is less than reputable. Mark at Scotty's was Fantastic and brought his vehicle in for a check up and found it to be a simple Battery issue. I then asked him about my Toyota Echo that i had issues with the locking mechanism on the drivers side and even tho he was hesitant he said he would take a look and do his best to repair. I ended up doing the repair myself and it worked out fine but he was willing to help out if needed. I can say without any convictions at 56 yrs old and i've seen a lot and been taken a lot with auto repair facility's in the past. Mark and the team at Scotty's have a very very reputable business and a great work ethic and put their customers ahead of absorbent and inflated profits I highly recommend them and . look for yourself as the reviews reflect the integrity of a shop.

Engine was skipping badly. I just didn't have time to deal with it. I am not a professional mechanic but have been working on cars since I was a kid and I'm almost 50 now. (my dad restored cars when I was growing up) The diagnoses was a blown head gasket and would cost 987.00 to replace. Ok, truck hasn't been overheated and coolant level isn't going down at all. Guess its time to check it out myself. My son and I removed the plugs, looks like valve seals are leaking a little oil but no sign of coolant. We checked the wires, # 2 wire had a short. We installed new plugs and wires truck ran perfect and check engine light went out. It's been 3 weeks since we installed new plugs and wires, no sign of plug fouling. Simple repair. Not sure if the mechanic is just inexperienced or just needs more work but beware!
