Some Reviews from Our Customers
“I took my Sienna van into Cliff’s for repair on June 13. They gave me an estimate, but ran into significant problems with my vehicle. I won’t go into details, but Dave Amidon is one of the most honest business owners that I’ve ever encountered. He gave his word to me that he would take care of me, and he definitely did. I would totally recommend this business.”
- Jan P.
