What Drivers Are Saying



I’m a DIY mechanic and generally do whatever work I can on my own. When I go to a shop, it’s because the work is too complicated for me or I have a problem I can’t solve.
Recently, I ran into one of those problems I couldn’t solve on my own despite multiple weekends and hard work trying to figure it out. I finally gave in and tried a couple of shops local to me. Long story short, they weren’t really up to the task.
So I finally brought my car to Salta, as I remembered I had previous experience with them a few years ago and never had issues with the work they did. These guys were the only shop out of 3 that worked hard on troubleshooting the issue, talking options and ideas with me, and simply just executing beautiful work on my car. Like I said, I will never go to another shop again.












question. In addition to being very knowledgeable, he is also unusually patient and polite which helped me make an educated decision about my vehicle repair!
