Great job guys getting me back on the road so quickly after my muffler came apart. The honesty of my repairs went a long way for deciding that we will now bring all our cars to Tuffy's. You guys did such an excellent job. Thank you!!

The crew at Tuffy's in Appleton are just plain awesome. They are extremely knowledgeable and diffently reasonable. They went above and beyond to get my Honda back on the road for a trip I had to take the next day. They have a lifetime customer.

Always make it convenient for me to get in for an oil change. I particularly like the complimentary inspection and it really sets them apart from the competition. Overall, great experience.

Jul 11, 2019 Isaiah S.

★★★★★

The customer service was amazing, I showed up nearly thirty minutes early and they still took my vehicle in right away for an oil change and inspection. They did miss some things that I knew were already problematic on the vehicle but they didn’t mark anything that wasn’t an issue like some places will do to get you to spend more. The only issue I had is now my rear brake makes a loud rubbing noise every rotation must have bumped the wear indicator.

May 03, 2019 Kerri J.

★★★★★

The service here was excellent! While out running errands, my low tire pressure came on. I immediately went to Tuffy’s and saw that I had a nail in my tire. They got me in right away and I was back on the road in no time. The same thing happened to me about 3 yrs ago. They were very friendly and helpful. I would definitely go there again.

These people are always amazing to work with and will tell you how it is if your car needs something or tell you if it’s time to start looking for a new one. Everyone is so friendly, they truely care about getting you back on the road and they’ll do it right.

★★★★★

I have an old car, built in 1993. I really don't want to take out a loan on a newer one so my plan is to fix this one until I can't anymore. That hasn't happened yet because the people at Tuffy are so skilled. The customer service is fantastic. I feel like I'm going to see a friend. They are honest; I follow their recommendations because I trust them.

Apr 17, 2018 Chabria L.

★★★★★

Absolutely great service. They treated me like family and I payed the estimated price we agreed upon frok the beginning so there were no surprises. I would definitely recommend Tuffy if you need your vehicle fixed in a timely manner!

I needed a new engine for my Honda. I talked to Matt and he took the time to answer all questions and concerns that I had about my vehicle. Will be bringing my cars in for survice in the future.

Dec 30, 2017 Donna S.

Very nice. Pleasure to work with they were honest and took me into the shop to show me exactly what was wrong.

Dec 18, 2017 Gwen S.

★★★★★

Honest? Yes. Always. Dependable? Always. They go that extra distance to be sure my car is fixed right the first time. As a woman who travels alone to visit her grandkids, honest and dependable service means a lot to me. Thanks Matt!

Nov 24, 2017 Bonnie G.

★★★★★

Tuffy’s staff is honest, trustworthy, and efficient! Whenever I call for an appointment I am greeted with courtesy and a friendliness that immediately gives me confidence that I’ve called the right place for an oil change, tire rotation, or a major repair. They explain everything they did and if you need anything else that needs to be done in the near future. They never “pressure sell” and work from a place of integrity. They treat my car as if it were their mom’s! I am a repeat customer and will return again!!!

Thanks for getting my car and van ready for winter again by changing out my tires with the winter Michelin tires. The guys got me in and out quickly and everything was done right. Thanks again Tuffy's.

Nov 03, 2017 Jerome S.

★★★★★

Matt, Meng, and all of the staff have always provided superior service and excellent communication. They are not only diligent with my truck but help me minimize my downtime which is huge as a self-employed contractor. They also explain not only what service was performed but findings on the condition of my truck and prioritized recommendations so I can budget accordingly.

★★★★★

Matt and his team looked over my daughters car to find the coolant leak that we were noticing. Instead of charging us for the work like the last 3 dealers we worked with, they let us know that her car was old/rusted to the point that it wasn't worth investing in anymore and even showed us pictures of what they were concerned about. They suggested we take the money we would have spent there and use it as a down payment towards something safer. Thank you for helping us to spend our money wisely!

Excellent,quick,efficient service. Needed a new water pump. Took my Toyota scion the same day I called, order parts and had my car back in less than 24 hours. VERY knowledgeable and friendly people... Can't thank Meng enough!

May 29, 2017 Rick Q.

★★★★★

Well Matt and his mechanics did it again. I brought my Toyota Camry for a diagnostic check because the check engine light was on and they were able to diagnose the problem, order the part and install it at a very reasonable cost and a short time frame. I have taken my car there since the factory warranty ended and have always found them to be knowledgeable and very efficient at fixing any problem that may occur. THANKS GUYS

Apr 06, 2017 Rick Q.

★★★★★

WELL THEY DID IT AGAIN. We bought our car new in 2002 and have been going to Tuffy's in Appleton ever since the manufacturers warranty ended and they have always done an excellent job repairing out Toyota and this last time a few days was no exception. We have always kept up on the recommended scheduled servicing. This past week I had it in for the standard oil change and Matt (the Manager) noticed that It was over due for new plugs so I had them a new set in a couple of days later. The crew at his shop are always on the top of their game. Thanks Guys.

I've not gotten much more than an oil change from Tuffys in Appleton on College. Yet on my visits I really appreciated the time taken to discuss my future automobile needs and options. - As a refreshing change, I could trust in your knowledge and impartiality. - I look forward to our future interactions. Thanks.

Dean, I just wanted to express m gratitude that I chose you about 5 years ago to care for my 1988 ChevyBeretta. This last job wasn't the easiest but you pulled it off and prevented much worry as to my future needs for wheels. Not only is your service extraordinary, but your caring attitude coupled with it is rare in my experience. The family-like atmosphere is a real treat. I have spread the word and look forward to many more years of service from my Beretta. Sue, You enhance the great atmosphere with your caring and personality. Thank you both so much. Thanks also for all the pick-ups and drop-offs. Mary Jane

Dean, I can't tell you what it means to know there is a place I can bring my car anytime and you and the Tuffy's team will take care of it. Having recently moved to the area, it's great to know I don't have to worry about a reputable, good service center. Thanks again!

Thank you for your donation to the 2nd annual CD Carnival at Appleton East High School.
