Tim BeckGoogle review

As a female university student who knows nothing about cars some mechanics like to take advantage and hike up the prices. The team at McGirr’s restored my confidence that I can take my car to get repaired without getting ripped off.

Ashlee OwensGoogle review

Just wanted to let everyone know that McGirr’s service was OUTSTANDING, I just can’t thank enough the whole team for their help and support. As a backpacker, I can assure you 100% this is the place to go whenever you have a car problem: Fast, affordable, trustworthy. A special thank you from the bottom of my heart. Cheers!.
