Big thanks to Robert for sharing his expertise on these Jeeps and helping me track down and fix the vibration on our 2004 Jeep Rubicon.

First thing was that they have a tow truck and were able to pick up my Jeep. Hear me out .. I get it Just Empty Every Pocket! Any Jeeper knows this! After a year of off and on check engine light and EVERYTHING we could find on YouTube to do… things kept getting worse! We went on the hunt for a shop that KNOWS Jeeps … as not just any cray cray person will work on a Jeep as they are money pits! But these folks know their stuff! They communicate very well- kept us in the loop openly! The invoices are clear and detailed on customer statements, tech findings, estimates and more! All of this to say … I no longer have a check engine light on , no more rough idle, no more bobble head rpm gauge, no more misfires! We do have a few other things we will get done with Sinister in the very near future! Thank you Tabitha, Rob , and Robert for getting my Eevee green TJ back to me!!!

Tabatha was absolutely wonderful! I called as I needed a new soft top for my jeep we talked a little bit and she helped me pick out a top. She ordered it and it didn’t take long before she was calling me back to schedule my appointment. I dropped off my jeep a little nervous as I wasn’t sure if I would like the new top…well I absolutely LOVE my new top!!! They did an AmAzInG job Installing it and Tabatha even walked me through all the features!! Their customer service was out of this world on the phone and in person!!! I will definitely go back if I need anything!!!!

September 2023 Friday afternoon. We were at the DMV nearby and were told we needed a more recent state inspection in order to register our vehicle. Nice lady at DMV mentioned Sinister as a possible place for getting that done. Less than a mile apart, we were in/out of Sinister, inspection completed and back to DMV within the hour. These guys were friendly, professional, and fast! They definitely improved our Friday afternoon.

A perfectionist when it comes to my Dodge Ram and any work done on it. Is why besides the "Ram Dealership" in Corpus - all the work done by "Sinister Auto Repair" -as full suspension lift - additional inside - outside accessories installed - bit of motor work, all intended to give my truck a unique look, also to perform damn well.. Great work and a good friendship gained.. Both are hard to come by these days folks..
