We are from Ohio and we were on our way to Washington, DC when our car broke down near Skip's Auto Repair. This was later in afternoon on a Friday. The staff at Skips took us in, ran diagnostics and gave us a quick quote and booked us for Tuesday repair. They went above and beyond to help us out. They not only were experts at fixing it but did it at a super fair price. Our car was left safe and secure for us to pick up on our way back out of town on a late Saturday evening pickup. From beginning to end the whole process was really a blessing and we would highly recommend them to anyone.
