My car engine would die a couple of times a week. It would happen on the freeway while I'm doing 65 mph or at a stop sign, it didn't matter. Finally one day the engine wouldn't start. I towed it to Christensen Automotive and they replaced a mass airflow sensor for $400. The engine would start but it still died a couple of times a week. I took it back and they said the radiator thermostat was bad and was giving the wrong temperature readings and that was causing the engine to die. After paying another $250 for that, the problem continued. I took the car to a different mechanic who knew what he was doing and he said the ignition coil was going bad. He replaced it and the problem went away.

We stopped by today with our vehicle to ask them if they thought we needed a transmission cooler for when we tow our light trailer.Even though they were busy, they looked over the vehicle and determined that it really didn't need it because there was a chance that it would open up a lot of possibilities of future problems. They said they would put one in if we wanted. We appreciated that they forfeited a possible paying job for honesty. We are definitely planning on using them in the future.
