Reviews
I was referred by a tech at Jiffy Lube due to an issue with my car (long story short, it looks like the fellas at Walmart who changed my oil last didn't know what to do with my oil filter cover and it was really, really stripped and stuck on), and the team at CT Automotive & Cycle really did me a solid. They got me in right away, found the parts, and they were also incredibly kind, helpful, honest, and good (despite being down a tech!). I come from a car family and I can say these are the kinds of guys you can trust, who are knowledgeable, and who want to help you. I know I'll be willing to drive to the opposite side of town just to stick with them next time. Hayli Cox, 03/15/2023 |

The guys went up and beyond helping me out today. I had a radiator issue that they took care of on the spot. Thank you Tom and Ian for making my car drivable. I will definitely be back with any repairs needed! Tara Gerhards, 02/09/2023 |
