My car had been purchased pre damaged but running fine until it wasnt. When I started getting quotes Amos was the only one willing to come see my car in person, everyone else wanted me to drive it to them but that wasnt possible. So Amos & 1st Choice was the one I went with. While repairs took longer than anticipated (about a month longer than they originally thought) and I didnt get many updates without calling (I understood they were busy but would have appreciated more communication), when I did get my car back it was well worth the wait. Its not 100% perfect brand new but it sure looks at and now I have a working ac in my car for the first time since I got it. I used to hate my car but now I love it and cant thank Amos and his team enough!! Pics of before and after.

These guys are my go to mechanics for everything! Its a family owned business so they pay attention to details and make sure the job is done right. They have worked on all 3 of my cars/trucks and Ive been happy with the way theyve all turned out.From a simple oil change to body work, these guys got you covered!

I would never recommend going to this mechanic. completely unprofessional. They had my car for 9 months because they could not tell me anything about it. My head gaskets blew out and Jacob told me it would take 2 weeks to finish, we paid up front and got no updates or any information about it after that. I had to send my mom multiple times, my dad had to come see what they were doing, and they’re answer was always “next week”. After bugging them enough i finally got my car back today. My hatchback is broken, it no longer stays up by itself. The knob to adjust my side mirrors was pulled off and is broken, I came in with a full tank of gas and am left with less than half. they put over 600 miles on my car. and they stole my sound system from the back. there’s already a hole in one of my hoses, and it’s missing screws.UPDATE: I had someone else look at my car and they didn’t do anything to it. They just put it back together instead of putting in any new parts. They said everything was completely brand new and actually nothing was replaced at all! A waste of 1500 and a hassle. I had even asked them before they did any work on it to tell me if it was worth fixing or not and if it wasn’t i was going to purchase a new car. Well they lied and now i have the same car that had the same problems when i took it in October 2020.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. If you’re looking for fast, dependable, trustworthy mechanics? Look no further! Being a single female it’s hard to find a mechanic who won’t take advantage, these guys are the best. Wouldn’t trust anyone else to touch my car!

My car was making a weird noise & as a female who doesnt know about cars I was obviously worried, they were recommended by a family friend and as soon as I walked in they were polite and went over what was possibly wrong and we got it fixed! They even do oil changes so I highly recommend them for all your car needs :)

After researching to find the best place to fix my truck, I ran across this company. I spoke with Amos and he gave me and my husband the best price for the work to fix my right CV joint and my front bumper. He was fair and straight forward. The time he said they would be finish was on time. I truly appreciate him and his staff for the amazing work and time they put into fixing my truck for me. I shall be returning for any other issues. Thank you all again.

I was so relieved to find a trust worthy business to work on my car. They fixed an oil pan that another place that completely took advantage of me for over a year. I also took it back for multiple things and every experience was beyond my expectations. Always professional and they even wash my car before I picked it up!! Very professional and affordable thanks guys for always doing an amazing job!!!!

I’ve had all four of my family’s vehicles in for either paint, body work or mechanical service. Two most recently for hail damage and before that my son’s 4Runner for body work and paint. The service has been exceptional and the work done exceeded my expectations.I was always informed of my options with cost estimates before any work was started. I would highly recommend 1st Choice for both body and automotive repair.

I am so happy 1st choice collision & Auto repair was referred to me. These guys are the best at what they do and more than anything, I can trust them. As a single mom I get things taken care of on my own. I love that I found a place that I can bring my car to for anything from an oil change to body work. These guys do it all and are super honest. They explain everything to me and always try to find me the best prices on anything I need. I refer any one I know to them now and would never go any where else.

I was referred to Amos and his brothers from a friend. I was in need of getting my seat reupholstered and she said they did amazing work for a more than fair price. I took them my truck and they got it back to me in no time! The seats looked great and the price was unbeatable. I have taken my truck back since to have minor cosmetic work done and I couldnt be happier. Ive referred several friends to 1st Choice and they have all been highly satisfied. Thanks Amos and thanks to your brothers for doing amazing work and being great people overall! Ill see you soon for some more auto needs.

I felt like I was harassing them because they would not communicate with me to let me know the status of my vehicle after having it for a long time if youre in a pinch and theyre closed shirt convenient but I wouldnt make it a priority to take your vehicle there
