- I went to my regular and trusted mechanic, Jim Chrysler - Chrysler's Treasure, for an odd rhythmic wub wub wub noise my 2018 Subaru Outback was making as I drove down the road. Jim put it up on a lift to see what might be going on, … More he pointed out that the tires had "cupping" wear and recommended I take it to Rudy Schmid for a 4 wheel alignment. Well I drove in with that problem but drove home silent, straight and true.
Two thumbs up! Highly recommend Rudy Schmid's car service. - Car looks new. It was ready ahead of schedule and unexpectedly, they cleaned it inside and out. Haven’t had any problems since. Great customer service.

- Rudy Schmid is 100% one of the best shops I have been to. Not just a repair shop but a business in general. They went above and beyond expectations. They made sure all parts going back on my truck after an accident was OEM and fought with … More the insurance company to make sure everything was done correctly. They did a great job of explaining the process and how everything would go. Every time I called they were professional and treated me like I was their only customer. I would highly recommend them for any body work or paint matching. They truly are the example of why you go to a family own business. The owners were amazing and friendly.
