Report
We are visiting the area from out of town. The air conditioner in our car went out. We took it to Murdock at almost closing time on Friday afternoon. They graciously took our car to check the Freon and found it to be low however something else is wrong. They did what they could, would not charge us and gave us a contact for a repair shop that is open on Saturday.

Report
They diagnosed the noise my wheel was making in about 30 seconds, got my new wheel bearing in, and replaced it by lunch! They were also honest with me that the other noise I was concerned about wasnt a problem that I actually needed to spend money on and I really appreciated that. Theyre great people who take the time to honestly break down the cost and repairs for you. Thank you!!!!
