“A little pricey when I had brake wheel cylinder installed, (I provided the part) and never got my old brake cylinder back like I had asked for.?? Then my PS belt was loose, and they broke the bolt off when tightening, and blamed it on wrong bolt installed. Now I have to get broken bolt out OR have them keep my car for a whole day, so they can get another sizeable amount of $$ out of me. I am retired and do not have access to unlimited funds they think I have. I guess I have to fix it myself or go without PS.”

“First time coming here for a service for my Subaru Crosstrek, and Tuffy exceeded my expectations. Always a little nerve-racking going to somewhere new, but they made me feel quite comfortable. They provided an incredible and a personable customer service experience. Will definitely be coming back and would highly recommend, A+!”

“I’ve been going to Tuffys for 10 years now. I appreciate The honest answers and explanations to my questions. I’ve never felt that this is a “guys only” kind of place, and ladies, you know what I mean when I say that. The bathroom and waiting area are always clean, too.

“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. ”

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.”

“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. ”

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!!! ”

“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!”

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”

“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.”
