I grew up with a dad that could always fix our cars...so when I moved away and found myself in San Luis Obispo and needing a mechanic, I was so thankful that EVERYONE on my street said "Go to Reeves!" John is so easy to talk to, explains everything, always happy to educate, and such a good person. The staff is friendly, honest and helpful and they take such good care of their costumers. Thank you for everything!!!
