TESTIMONIAL

Hands Down Best Place To Go
Brian W.

Came in after another shop had screwed up the trans rebuild. They not only found the problem but then offered a few solutions. Rebuilt the transmission and now it drives better then I could have imagined! Hands down best place to go!"

I Will Be a Life-Long Customer
Katie N.

I was driving without my A/C because I was so worried about finding an honest shop to help me. Thankfully I was referred to Tri-City and was treated with respect and honesty! My A/C works great, the price was right and Aaron made it clear that Tri-City appreciates my business!

They Literally Saved Me Thousands
Ryan M

These guys are fantastic, the kind of shop that you can actually trust what they recommend! I went to them for a second opinion on my transmission and they literally saved me thousands.
