This auto shop is set back from Water Street on a shaded lot. The mechanics perform basic repairs and maintenance, such as oil changes and flat fixes. There is a fairly comfortable waiting room but it is not as inviting as those at the chain stores. While inspections are not performed here, this is a good resource for a quick repair done by locals.
This auto shop is located down the industrial New Salem Street and encircled but a veritable graveyard of old trucks cannibalized for parts. Dusty and windswept, an American flag blows next to Quality's rugged signage. These guys specialize in SUV's and trucks and several jacked up off roaders parked out front speak to their skill. This is a great resource for aftermarket truck work or repairs on your SUV.
