Luckner's Garage

this guy is a neatnik, and i knew i was in the right place when i walked in the door and public radio was playing in the shop. he tells you his opinion of a problem, spends time with you, tells you what he plans to do or what must be done. gives you an idea of the costs involved. buys good- sometimes expensive parts, takes his time and does the work exceedingly well. i won't kid you, he charges for the work he does, but it's good work, guaranteed. i use him for big jobs or jobs my oil and tire guy can't handle or can't figure out what the problem is (he's also a dead-honest guy who works to save you every cent he can and will tell you if he can't handle a job-kapral tire and auto corning). luckner is great with the diagnostics and computer stuff. saves the pieces he can(idea- my truck 125000 miles- cracked head. put on new head, used most of old valves and components if they were up to spec. took me on a tour of the old head and showed me the cracks, told me that i wouldn't ever need the job done again- he guaranteed it.) have had 3 occasions to have him do work on various vehicles, and have never had to take a vehicle back to test his guarantee because the problems never come back.

Luckners Garage is by far the best repair shop I have seen in the area. Sam is very knowledgeable and takes the time to make sure that you fully understand the problem and the fix. The garage is very neat and his calm attitude put me at ease.
