Keith and his crew do outstanding work on all my vehicles. Whether it's an oil change, rotating tires, or diagnosing a complex problem, they are always fair and honest about what is going on with your vehicle. This is not your stereotypical auto repair shop. It's refreshing to go to an auto repair shop that will tell you what is wrong, how much it will cost, and stick to the original estimate. All my vehicles go to VanMeter for regular maintenance and for any other needs that may come up. Thanks, Keith for having a great business!
