I went to ICF for help with installing a starter. The service provided had been stellar, the mechanic had been great as well. If I'm in need again, I'll be considering their service guaranteed.

Star Star Star Star Star

I had my doubts about this service, however I was very pleasantly surprised with how simple and easy it was to setup an appointment. Also the representatives are very communicative with you. They will update you regularly and keep you informed of any delays. Very very good and helpful service. The mechanic I had was very informative and transparent about the fix details, he arrived early and finished the job quickly. I would highly recommend this service to anyone. They are cheaper than your average shop and have flexible payment options. Fantastic service.

I’m extremely satisfied with the service. The mechanic arrived on time. The whole process was smooth and the repair was completed quicker than I expected. Instant Car Fix definitely earned my trust. The work performed was replacing the HVAC blower motor on my 2008 Lexus RX 400h. Pictures show the broken strut that was replaced,

Got my van fixed and I can get around again so that’s all that matters. Had a good knowledge mechanic named Greg and he was very helpful and actually got the total job done in good time. Not sure about the price but you have to pay an arm and leg sometimes to get the job done, I’m driving again and that’s all that matters
