Honest DiagnosticsI cannot recommend Pawlik Automotive enough! I brought my Subaru Legacy Wagon AWD to the dealership after my check engine light came on with a P0171 code, and that car uses a lot more gas than usual.
The dealership couldn't find anything but recommended a $500 replacement part, and if that fails, then it will be next repair at $2500.
Frustrated, I took it to Pawlik for a second opinion, and the difference in service was night and day. Their technician actually ran the proper diagnostic tests.

Reviews
Friendly, communicative staff that stand by their work!
Brought my car in for what I thought was a minor issue - it turned out to be a pretty significant problem with the coolant system. While this was quite stressful, I was very happy with how Pawlik handled the repair. They were clear in communicating what repairs were necessary (and what wasn't), they always sought approval before proceeding with work that would lead to extra cost, and they were thorough in their post-repair checks. Overall great experience.
The Jeep is running GREAT! A huge thank you to Pawlick Automotive for their top-notch professionalism, friendly customer service, and technical expertise. They accurately diagnosed and fixed the issue quickly. Highly recommend!
