Tag automotive is a life saver, literally. I was moving from Washington state and heard a grinding noise in the rear of my car. I was concerned about driving it any farther. I stayed overnight in Flagstaff and the next morning I went to Tag Automotive from a recommendation from a friend. Gene and the guys took my car for a test drive and diagnosed a bad wheel bearing, and they had the necessary parts. My car was fixed within two hours and the charges were so very reasonable. Tag Automotive is the finest example of customer service. I would drive from Phoenix to have them service my car as they are honest, knowledgeable and so efficient. Thanks, guys, for taking such great care of us !!
