I had an issue with my RV that kept blowing fuses and causing motor to shut down and not restart. Contacted three other places before being referred to Gardner Automotive. Daniel and Mark drove out almost 40 miles and quickly diagnosed the problem of frayed wires on the coil harness. They took my vehicle back to their shop and in a matter of just a few hours they repaired and returned it running smoothly. I am completely satisfied with their service and would highly recommend them.
