At Pat's Auto Repair & Towing, we are a second-generation, family-owned business that has been serving the Hastings, Nebraska community for over three decades.

Negatives: Lack of Trust and Unreliable Service
Some customers have had frustrating experiences with a specific auto repair service. One customer, Beth S., was unimpressed with the service after taking her car to be fixed for a leak in an air conditioning hose. When she picked up her car, the check engine light that was not on initially had turned on, raising concerns about the reliability of the repairs.
Lack of Professionalism and Inconsistency
The stories of Beth S. and John G. suggest that the service provider may have inconsistent and unreliable practices. John G. had to get his van towed after losing control and getting stuck in a ditch. The service provider, Todd, did manage to extract the van without causing further damage and towed it to a dealership, but this incident highlights the importance of dependable service. There are concerns about the quality of the repairs, and it seems that not all jobs are done to a high standard.
Positives: Professionalism, Reliability, and Promptness
On the other hand, John G. and Roger H. had positive experiences with the service provider. John G. praised Todd for being professional, friendly, and knowledgeable, and for extracting his van from a difficult situation without causing further damage. Roger H. simply mentioned that the service was good and prompt. Although there is not much detail provided, these positive reviews suggest that the service provider can be trusted and reliable.
