I jumped on Yelp and to my surprise I find Gene, right down the street from me!\n\nI called Gene a couple days ago to talk to him about getting my 75,000 mile service on my Pathfinder and some new Michelin tires. Gene right up front told me that the tires would probably be cheaper elsewhere, but that if I wanted him to do them, he'd be more than happy to help me out. He spent at least 10 minutes on the phone with me going over the different tire choices and the pros and cons of each. Even though the Michelin's were the most expensive, I decided on them and made my appointment for the next day.\n\nUpon arrival the very friendly receptionist greeted me and asked me to fill out a very simple form with my information and a description of the work I needed done on the Pathfinder. I had the Nissan recommended 75k service done, as well as an alignment, an a/c check, and of course the new tires installed. \n\nI dropped the keys off and came back 7 hours later. Gene thoroughly went over everything that was done to my truck and gave me a very detailed invoice listing out every part used and service performed. Based on past experiences, the prices were very reasonable and may have even been a bit better than what I would have paid for similar service in the past. \n\nThe real satisfaction came when I drove off though, the truck runs like a brand new vehicle! The new tires give me an AMAZING ride, and its perfectly aligned, no more pulling to the side. Also some weird noises that I had forgotten to mention to him are now mysteriously gone. Who knows what kind of magic he worked under the hood but I couldn't be happier! \n\nI plan on moving up to Scottsdale in the near future, but I will still bring my truck down to Tempe to have Gene take care of it, amazing service!!! \n\nThanks Gene!!!"^^ .
