"This was my first experience with IAS. My car was billowing white smoke from the engine compartment, so I called AAA which had my car towed here after-hours. The next morning, I was relieved to hear a reassuring voice listen to the problems and estimate a time to check the vehicle and get back to me. I was impressed that they had a complete diagnostic of the car emailed to me for review. I called them back and gave them the green light to replace the broken hoses. As promised, the car was repaired and test-driven on schedule. The vehicle has been driving great ever since. From the start, I felt this place was professional and courteous. I would highly recommend them for any auto service!" – Robert H.
