First of all I happened upon Wrights Car Care almost by accident. My car had been overheating and losing antifreeze for months. No one was able to diagnose the problem. After many visits to repair shops and dealerships I finally got a different diagnoses of the problem. The problem was a lower manifold gasket inside the engine. The estimate was for approximately $1100 for a lower manifold gasket replacement. I wanted a second opinion. So I googled repair shops in the area and Wrights popped up first. I called and David answered the phone on the second ring. Wow a real person!!!! I asked him how much for the repair and he off the top of his head said about $400 - $500. He then ask how I knew I needed lower manifold gasket? I explained that a repair shop told me. I was in the area so he said bring it by and he would look at it. I didn't have to wait for an appointment and within an hour he confirmed that I did need the repair. Made an appointment for a few days later. I sat in the office with him and his certified mechanics as they repaired my car. He offered me lunch while I waited. David is one of the most knowledgeable persons about cars I have ever met. He has been in the business of repairing cars since the 1960s. While working on my car the mechanic found a hose that was broken that was part of the problem as well. Long story short the repair ended up being $675 with the additional hose. My problem was solved and the work was impeccable. I'm sure that I would have paid more at the other repair shop than the original estimate of $1100. I can't say enough about David and his crew. He is honest, straightforward, and operates his shop with the upmost integrity. DO NOT hesitate to take you vehicle to Wright's Car Care. You will find a repair shop for life. Thanks Larry Sutton
