We've been there several times for our cars and they've always done an excellent job. My husband fixes most of the stuff on our vehicles, but the stuff he can't do (usually because he doesn't have either the time or the tools) we brings to Tyrolf. Services: Auto engine diagnostic, Wheel alignment

Given the overwhelmingly positive reviews here and from a neighbor, I brought my son's car here to have the A/C repaired - and I am glad I did. The problem with the air conditioning was not immediately evident, but they were able to diagnose and repair it at a very reasonable cost. If you are looking for a dependable and honest repair shop look no further than Tyrolf Automotive. Now that we have firsthand experience with them, we plan to use them for all of our auto repair needs.

I have had nothing but wonderful experiences with Tyrolf! They are honest and affordable! I took my car elsewhere (not by choice for a few years) and have since come back to Tyrolf. I have had my car for about 6 years and the brake light has come on and off while driving the vehicle. I was told elsewhere that it was a sensor issue so i just dealt with it, even though it was VERY annoying. I needed breaks replaced on my car and brought it to Tyrolf.
The brake light has since not come on! I am beyond excited about this (its the little things in life). They have always been incredibly accommodating and I would high recommend them for all your vehicle needs!

Took our car in after another company told us that we needed a $700.00 repair. Bobby spent a ton of time trying to recreate the problem we were told we had. there was no problem! This is the most honest, friendliest, and best car repair shop I've worked with. We will never take our cars any place else, after this amazing experience! Thank you Bobby and Sherri! We will be back!

Thumbs up, this is the best auto repair/maintenance I have ever experienced! The team of staff that operate this business are awesome! Mr. Bobby was extremely pleasant when he scheduled my appointment & checked me in. The maintenance & cost were discussed with me before any work was done. Ms. Sherry closed out my ticket and she was super friendly. This business provided me with fast, friendly, professional service at a very reasonable price. I will be returning. Thx Tyrolf Auto!
