Friend recommended Lucky Knuckles 2 years ago and I am so happy with how the two owners are honest fair and offer options to fix my 14 year-old SUV. As an example, car would not start, tried to jump start it but had to have it towed to Lucky Knuckle’s and they put trickle charge on it overnight, then next day they stated the car ! Even though they could’ve stopped there, they went on do a thorough electrical systems check & could not find anything wrong… charged me significantly leas than I would have ever expected!!
This was only one example of how they earned my trust.

Steve and Matt are great guys. I've had them fix several things on my car and they have been outstanding, especially explaining to me what they did and educating me for my own good.
