Garrett is dedicated, patient, and a good listener. Thank you for keeping me updated on the essential repairs on my cars, because I know where I'll go for the repairs.

I have been coming to Founding Fathers for about two years. We have three cars in our family that they service. They are generous and always eager to help. They truly go the extra mile. Recently, my car began to make a weird noise that could only be heard when I was driving slowly in my neighborhood. Jason and his team persisted until they FINALLY figured out what was going on and got the noise to stop. They would not give up!! I didn't have to press to get it addressed, THEY wanted to figure it out. I am truly grateful to God for this crew. Finding a reliable mechanic is worth A LOT!!!

After taking my beloved "girl" to 2 other mechanics, I found this shop. They were able to get her back on the road running better than ever, fair pricing and a fast turn around. Thank you for saving my girl! She's ready for another amazing 13 years and 200k miles.

I want to thank Garrett and Jason! I was not ready to find out the shifting gears went out on my car. They gave me a couple of days to figure out what I was going to be able to do. Thankfully I was able to get help from someone to help take care of my car. Once it was a go, the parts were ordered, and the car done promptly after receiving them! I just wanted to say thank you, and I'm so grateful for your kind, prompt and excellent service!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Stars for Founding Fathers Auto – The Ball Joint Extravaganza! Let me set the scene: I’m cruising down I-25, feeling like the empress of the asphalt in my trusty 2016 Ford Escape, when—BAM! A CLUNK so loud it could wake a coma patient. My car starts wobbling like it’s practicing for the drunk-driving audition nobody asked for. Turns out, my ball joint decided to pull a Houdini and bail, leaving my wheel flopping like a fish at a rave. I’m no gearhead, but I knew this was trouble—like, “call Jason before I’m hitchhiking to work” trouble. I limp my poor Escape into Founding Fathers Auto, bracing for a diagnosis that’d require selling a kidney or maybe a priest for an exorcism. But Jason, the sorcerer of sockets, takes one glance and says, “Ball joint’s kaput, buddy, but we’ll have you rolling smoother than a Founding Father signing the Declaration before lunch.” The guy’s got humor and a torque wrench—talk about a patriot! The repair? Slicker than a bald eagle’s feathers. Jason and his crew swapped that busted ball joint faster than I can demolish a taco (and trust me, that’s Olympic-level speed). They didn’t stop there—my car got the full VIP treatment: alignment checked, fluids topped, and I’m pretty sure they gave the engine a pep talk. When I picked it up, my Ford was gliding like it was ready to lap a Ferrari. The cherry on top? The bill didn’t make my bank account weep like a melodrama queen. Jason broke it all down in plain ol’ English—no cryptic mechanic gibberish—and even tossed in a free air freshener that smells like freedom (or maybe cedar). My car’s back to its glory days, practically saluting me every time I hit the gas. If your ball joint decides to yeet itself into the next dimension, Founding Fathers Auto is your go-to. They’re the superheroes of auto repair—quick, hilarious, and they’ll save your ride without taxing your wallet like it’s 1773. 10/10, would let Jason fix my car’s midlife crisis again! 🚗🦅 Thank you all!

I can't recommend Founding Father's enough! Jason and Garret are absolutely life savers. I had a screw stuck in my tire and the took care of it quickly and efficiently. Both of them were super nice and made the experience stress-free. The service was fast, the quality was outstanding, and their professionalism really stood out. If you need a reliable mechanic, Founding Father's should be your go-to shop. 5-star service all the way!

I’ve been bringing all my vehicles here for years now and the quality of service never changes. TOP NOTCH. My 2012 Hyundai, 2017 Chevy, 1989 GMC, they work with it all. Handle warranty companies like a boss and are kind, consistent people with the customer at heart. Honest, will always be forthcoming and legit where it applies to cost and time taken. 10 stars if I could, will always come back!!

DO NOT bring your vehicle here. Left dents in my car creased the headliner more damage on the vehicle then when it was brought in. They replaced a rack and pinion and didn’t even replace tie rod ends. Due to the rack and pinion being replaced there is now a god awful noise from the front end and they said it’s the carrier bearing idiots don’t even know how to properly install a prop shaft and diagnose issue they caused. Then they straight up extorted money after they had already settled with insurance, all of the sudden there was an additional 700 due. I repeat do not bring your vehicle here. Also wanted to keep the car until January due to Mazda dealers not being available. I have an appointment with Mazda in less than 5 days… Talked to mark the owner and he was rude and unwilling to take any fault. Bbb is gonna have there hands full and will definitely be suing to get my money back as well as for them messing up my car that carry’s my children Just because it wasn’t in my name doesn’t mean I didn’t have my car there.

I have been coming here for years! I have always had exceptional service. These guys know what they’re doing. I recently bought a new car and had them check it out… they found a problem that the dealer had missed and now the dealership is replacing all my tires on the house. Jason is a pleasure to work with. I would recommend Founding Fathers for anything your car could need.

Had a great experience with these guys yesterday. I brought our minivan for a repair that I thought it needed...and they told me that it didn't need it. Not only did that save me a lot of money, but also time. How many places do you know that offer that kind of service? Keep up the great customer service!

My new favorite shop, genuine people, hard workers, and they certainly care about you the customer. Would recommend to anyone who's had a bad experience with auto shops to try these guys out. God bless!

Mounting and balancing tires I talked with Jason the day before coming in to swap tires before winter hit. He told me to come in the next day. I get there and the staff was friendly. While I was there, there was a constant flow of customers coming in. Even though they were very busy, everything seemed to be prioritized and completed quickly. The mount and balancing of my tires was done pretty quickly and was extremely reasonably priced. I would recommend this shop to anyone.

Had work done on my car here. Rather than being put back properly with gaskets the mechanic used RTV. I was the one to discover this issue and because of that they refuse to warranty their work. It took 3 days and 3 different attempts for them to diagnose and fix an injector misfire. They would rather throw parts at the car rather than properly diagnosing it. There was so much RTV on my upper intake manifold that even after hitting it with a rubber mallet for 10 minutes it still wouldn't break free. I ended up just putting it back together because of the frustration. Looking at the throttle body shows rtv in places where it can enter the engine. Shady business practices. I wouldn't recommend anyone using this company. Especially if they don't want to fix what they screwed up.

when I bought my Jeep in May of 2024 I never imagined that I would have so many issues with it. I made the choice to take it to Founding Fathers after two other Mechanics couldn't fix her. while it's still an on going process with her I couldn't be more thankful for the guys at Founding Fathers! They have fixed my Jeep on a Monthly basis and worked with my Warranty! they actively care about the issues I've had! they honestly have my forever business!

Came highly recommended but the last two times I’ve had my car in and dropped off before they opened they still hadn’t even looked at my vehicle by the time I got off work. Feel like they are too busy for their own good sometimes. May do good work but are not quick to get your car in and out even with an appointment. Very frustrating and a waste of my time. Ended up just taking my car somewhere else which was a much better experience. Unfortunately I won’t be back to Founding fathers after my last two experiences.
