Client Testimonials

We are Shift'n expectations

Really great to work with, radiator blew while traveling through town. Extremely fair on pricing and service was great. They even cleaned the van inside and out. My wife really appreciated that part. Would use as my regular shop if lived near by.

Tug Bozanich Customer

Great business. Very personable, friendly, and professional. The owner Jimmy walked me through the repairs needed, and was honest in his assessment of my needs. The repair was done quickly and efficiently, and I’m safe on the road once more. Thank you Shift’n Gears!

Kevin Lambert Customer

Kevin was great from the jump, as soon as I called I knew I was going with them. He didn’t sound bothered or bored, but actually interested in helping me. Really set them apart from the rest immediately.

Jacob Havard Customer

100% recommend! Moved my father to this area and he was in need of something minor after the 600m drive. We stopped in and they were polite, accurate, informative and in the end they didn't charge us for the issue. I had to leave early to get back to Colorado but they took care of my dad and offered a pickup/drop-off service. I wish these guys were in Colorado but I'm glad they are there for my dad.

Jacob Havard Customer

Needed an inspection for a transit van. They were able to get us in the same day and perform the task within four hours. Excellent service, very friendly, and the price was reasonable. They had details about what future repairs was needed. Also, they supplied an Uber for me so I didn’t have to wait in the waiting room.

Rechael Murphey Customer

I have a pretty unique car that another shop couldn’t align so they recommended Shift N Gears. The team was super knowledgeable and they did a great job getting it dialed in. I’ll definitely be back.

Nick Nowakowkski Customer

I brought my 2010 Honda accord to get things tuned up and they did a wonderful job letting me know what was needed and what to come back for in the future! I have friends and family that have had extensive work done on their cars and I hear nothing but good things. I highly recommend if you’re looking for honest, reliable opinions on what I need with you car.

Kiah Williams Customer

Kevin and team did an excellent, professional job from start to finish on our Corvette! After experiencing a breakdown en route to the coast, they welcomed our car and took time to expertly fix the issues, explaining and keeping us updated along the way. We highly recommend this shop!
