Russ is first class. He takes care of our entire fleet and personal vehicles. He is extremely efficient and communicates very well. I can’t recommend Thorson Automotive enough.

Russ is the MAN, I’m hesitant to leave a good review bc I’m afraid more people will discover this hidden gem of an auto expert! He is honest, fair, and fast!

I highly recommend taking your car here. Russ is great! He will keep you informed and talk you through step by step of what needs to be done!

Always gives honest advise and you get to hear what your issue is from the mechanic not from a service advisor.

I'd recommend these folks to everyone! They got my UT graduate student in and out quick, affordable with no side dealing! Thank you!

Russ Thorson does efficient, prompt, and solid work; an old-school and honest businessman. After being recommended to him from Fisher Tires, he took an appointment two days later and finished a complete strut replacement and A/C repair in a day. As someone who uses the vehicle for work daily, I was impressed by the speed and quality of the work so I could get back on the road.

Russ was very helpful. I highly appreciate their professionalism.

ThoRson Automotive is an excellent auto repair shop! Russ diagnosed and repaired my vehicle quickly. He kept me informed on the quote, updated me on the repair, and charged a very fair price for all parts and labor. Best experience I have ever had with a car repair.

Russ is an honest and knowledgeable technician. He’s doing things right at Thorson Automotive, start to finish. I wouldn’t even consider going anywhere else.

Russ was efficient and professional, I was able to get my car in and out on short notice and felt his pricing was fair. Subie is running great and I will absolutely be back. I vote him trustworthy

This garage is not so visible that you would see it from the road but is run by an experienced mechanic who makes it worth finding.

A great clean honest auto shop that is hard to find in today's world. Very competitive pricing and satisfactory results! Highly recommend. Got my radiator replaced in 01 dodge ram 1500 as well as ac purge and recharge plus he fixed a simple 4x4 vacuum line problem for me.

Thorson Automotive was recommended to me by another automotive business. I needed a new water pump and timing chain cover gasket replaced on my 2001 Ford Ranger. Russ , the owner , gave me an estimate of the repairs. Dropped it off on a Sunday night and he had it ready to go Monday p.m. ! He was very reasonable and fair on the cost. I highly recommend him. I'll definitely be a returning customer !

Very easy to get scheduled and serviced. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

A/C blower quit working on a long road trip. Just happen to stop here to have him look at it. He had me up and running again in about an hour for a fair price. Driving an old van I get to talk lots of mechanics and this was a top five experience.

Feb 06, 2024

Fast work, great prices, 10 out of 10!!

Feb 06, 2024

I finally found a small local auto shop I can trust! The place is real clean, they do good work, and the AC works great in the office! Upon further review, I'm now missing a lug nut. When I finally got ahold of the technician, all he could say is "wow, a lugnut shouldn't fall off like that". Well, if it's tightened correctly, it would not happen. My wife's car is still sitting as we wait for a new locking lug nut to arrive.
