What a fine experience.
When the rear air suspension, I blew up while I was on vacation in Charleston, South Carolina, I was left stranded.
With the car that was two hundred miles away after I got home. The shop was wonderful to work with in orchestrating and getting the vehicle too them and repaired by them in a timely manner. They meticulously examined my gx, four seventy and recommended a few additional items to get it running in tip top shape. Between the suspension upgrades and the mechanical upgrades. I'm confident that my lexus is running better than it ever has. A huge thank you to the shop owner, Joe and his wonderful tech, Kyle who took care of me. Diane at the front desk was also wonderful to work with. I would highly recommend Dinkins, auto, refer any of your small mechanical needs all the way up to your big, expensive jobs. Thank you all again for your time and effort.
Joe D. from Dinkins Auto Service responded on 06/23/2025 05:20 AM
