DO NOT BRING YOUR VEHICLE HERE. If I could give 0 stars I would. Paid 3 to 400 for my finances heat to get fixed in her car and 2 months later it goes out. Red flag #1. So I schedule an appointment to have it looked at so we can get her fixed properly this time. Drop it off and get a call saying there’s 700$ worth of melted/damaged components which was definitely not an issue when I had it fixed prior. They are the only ones to touch the vehicle or heating components and after the touched it I have 700$ worth of damaged components. Put two and two together. Please don’t do business here! After hearing bad things I vouched for these guys and they proved me wrong. DO NOT BRING YOUR VEHICLE HERE!

I’m warning you not to take your car here! I had been bringing my Nissan to them it would be fixed while the car was at the shop as soon as I leave check engine light comes back on! Costing me hundreds of dollars! Finally a couple of months ago my Nissan was back in the shop for the same issue! After picking up my car check engine light comes back by the aquatic center. This time my son in law googled it and finally after hundreds of dollars my car is fixed. Now my son and my daughter in law are having basically the same issue it’s going to cost them $700 for an issue that The shop did. They put band aids on issues so you will continue to bring your cars back making them money!

Dave and his crew worked on my 1964 Pontiac and they did an excellent job. Purr’s like a kitten now and at a very fair price. Would definitely recommend to any of you classic muscle car owners. Thank you!!!

Can't recommend these guys, they put a stop leak in my coolant system and tried to tell me they do it to every vehicle as a preventative measure. They failed repeatedly to solve the overheating issue and when I demanded a refund for their failure they told me to eat it basically and there would be no refund. They got me for about 1900 dollars, I ended up replacing the radiator myself and well over 2 years later it's still in there with absolutely no issues.

I been taking all my vehicles to Doughty's for almost 20 years. Very reliable!!! They do great work and you'll never have to second guess their work. They get it done right the first time.
