Highly recommended.

Been going to Bret's for about a quarter century and overall have been very satisfied. When you talk to Bret it's immediately obvious he is a sharp, competent overseer of a repair shop and a very good mechanic, in his own right. Only once do I remember any kind of real issue and, once redressed, was immediately fixed and resolved. Bret is quite obviously well connected in the car repair service industry, has loads of experience and savvy. Bret's Inc is a repair shop that operates with great integrity.

As always, the service at Bret’s is superb. Everyone there is friendly and knowledgeable; they take the time to listen and explain things. They repaired my ancient car perfectly and for a quite reasonable price. I’m really appreciative of the time they took to find the rather elusive problem. The car now runs like it is only old, not ancient!
