Your Vehicle Identification Number, or VIN, is essentially your car’s fingerprint. In its entirety, it is specific only to your car. Each car has its own unique VIN number and can be decoded to provide manufacturing and identification information on any vehicle on the road. Date of manufacture, manufacturer, vehicle type, where it was made, and options such as engine and transmission type, whether a car is a two or four-door, and a multitude of other specifications can be gleaned from a VIN number. Essentially, a VIN number will tell you exactly what a car is and where it came from, without even having to see the car.

One of the most professional, honest, detailed experiences I have had when dealing with car repair issues. Allen took his time to investigate the issue with my vehicle, explained everything thoroughly, saved me over $600 from an estimate by another mechanic, AND came in $40 under his own estimate. Not only that but he also found a secondary issue upon his initial assessment that the first mechanic did not show me, though it was obvious. I could not be more pleased with the service from Allen and his wife Tiffany. It’s a comfort to know I may have found a mechanic I can trust.
