Ironside was started by Frank Ironside in 1998 out of a two-bay shop on Main. His son Dave runs the place now with six techs, four bays, and the same policy: if we'd tell our own mother to get it fixed, we'll tell you. If not, we won't.
Every tech here is ASE certified. Every repair comes with a 24-month/24,000-mile nationwide warranty. Every estimate is in writing before we turn a wrench.
“Called at 8, had my brakes done by noon. They showed me the worn pads so I could see for myself. Fair price.”
“Dave explained exactly what was wrong with my wife's CR-V in a way I actually understood. No upsell. Just facts.”
“Third car I've had them work on. They remember you. That matters.”
Most appointments booked by 10am get worked the same day. Drop-offs welcome — free shuttle inside a 5-mile radius.
