We had always taken the Jeep elsewhere but had seen the level of service decline. We took it to Murphy's and they discovered a number of areas that had been neglected previously. They made the repairs in a reasonable time and at an appropriate cost. Eric kept us up to date at all times along with detailed and accurate repair costs. Bo, the technician, provided detailed information and pictures of all areas being repaired (a first for us).

The repairs were performed properly and the vehicle was as clean or cleaner when I picked up as when I dropped it off. The facility is very clean and professionally managed. I highly recommend Murphy's and wish we had begun taking the Jeep there long before we did.

We started taking our vehicles to the Murphys autocare in Centerville shortly after they opened and we have been thrilled with our care and service. Bobby and Kent work in the office and have both been open and honest with us about the service our vehicle has or has not needed, I never feel pressured to have things done, the prices are all very reasonable, and they were incredibly helpful as my husband and I shopped for a car. We are thrilled to have found a shop we can trust, and will recommend them to everyone!

Wonderful experience with all of the staff. Excellent repairs and they send pictures of my car to help me make the right choices. Always give me an estimate before doing the work. I know they have my long term goals in mind.
