Testimonials

On 6/28/2026 Brooke Howsare had this to say:
I have gone to Higgins for years, and have always had great service. Recently, I took my car in for the check engine light, turned out to be something under warranty and they fixed it right away. The staff is always friendly and willing to help. They are willing to go the extra mile and don't take advantage, just fix what's wrong. I also appreciate that they are proactive, told me I would need new brakes and provided quotes so I could prepare for the extra cost in the coming months.

I always get great service at this shop. The technician, Billy, took the time to explain and answer any questions for me! Never need a 2nd opinion when I come here!

My daughter and family take their cars to Higgins. I have an unusual situation going on with my car. They diagnosed it and then went above and beyond in discovering the problem had a recall. My car was fixed by the dealership under warranty, but I would never have known if they didn't take that extra step. Super honest people who genuinely care about their customers!

We have been going to Higgins for years with our cars. We always receive top notch service and most importantly, honest communication. Our adult kids take their cars there as they know Nick and his staff will be honest and very fair on prices. Stephanie is the hub of keeping everything running smoothly. PS...they love sweet treats as a small token of appreciation! Testimonial written by Chrys on this site.
