Stopped in on a monday, talked with craig about what I thought needed to be done, he said they would check those things out. I dropped the car off Tuesday evening. It was finished Wednesday A.M.. Again Craig took another 10 minutes showing things on my car that I could not locate before. I highly recommend this repair shop, this is the 3rd time I have used them and I have always been very satisfied with their work.

As Good As Advertised... When you're not from around here. You don't even know who to ask. Sometimes you just have to trust what people are saying online about a business. In case you haven't had much luck finding a reliable mechanic. Some one that won't take advantage of you. Some one that's going to be straight with you. Westgate just might be worth looking into. Fair rates.

My wife and I switched to Westgate at least 14 years ago after feeling "let down" by another well known facility. We have never felt let down or felt like we were not welcomed. Keep up the Great work guys.

Been going here for years, they are honest and do good work. They get in the car and replicate the issue instead of just relying on codes. If they find the issue is a factory recall there isnt a charge and give you the paper work to show the dealer. Best place in town

I do a lot of my own work. Although not having a shop to work in or some of the major shop tools, I bring my vehicles to Westgate Service from late fall to late spring. Or when the job is too big for me to handle. They are honest, fairly priced, and their mechanics are experienced. They do a good job of diagnosing the true problem which saves me both time and money. I also enjoy doing business with a small shop family owned business.

They had great knowledge and wonderful costumer service and prices. I will absolutely be using them again for all of my needs and feel I can trust them which is hard to find these days. They went above and beyond with their service and were very fair.
