01

Accurate diagnostics, first

We invest time in finding the real cause before quoting a repair — so you don't pay for guesswork or parts you didn't need.

02

Plain-language estimates

Written estimates with clear part and labor breakdowns. We go over the findings with you before any work is authorized.

03

Repairs that hold up

Quality parts, tight tolerances, careful reassembly. Most work is backed by our 24-month / 24,000-mile warranty.

Same techs, year after year

Experienced ASE-certified technicians who know the cars, trucks and SUVs Midland drives — and stand behind their work.

About the shop

A Midland fixture, one repair at a time.

Terry started the shop on East Wackerly with the idea that an honest mechanic shouldn't be hard to find. Thirty-plus years later, we're still on the same street, still explaining repairs the same way we'd explain them to family, and still the first call for a lot of folks in the Tri-Cities.

Our technicians are ASE-certified, trained on modern diagnostic equipment, and just as comfortable under the hood of a 2001 pickup as a current-model SUV. We take the time to get it right.

"Took my truck in with a rough idle — got a clear explanation and a fair quote. Fixed right the first time, and they didn't try to sell me a dozen other things."

"Been taking our family cars to Terry's for years. Brakes, oil changes, a timing-belt job on the Odyssey — always straightforward, always done when they said."

"Check-engine light came on the week of a road trip. They diagnosed it that morning, had it fixed by afternoon, and called me before they touched anything that cost extra."
