Client Testimonials
What People Say About Us
"Once again, Spectra has performed an operation on my old 2002 Honda Civic and fixed what I was afraid might be more than I could financially handle. I've been taking my Honda Civic to them for everything it needs since 2005. For 30 years, I've depended on Spectra to keep me on the road. I've never been disappointed."
Sherri Thoma Troutman
"My car is 12 years old with almost 200k miles. Randy and the technicians at Spectra repaired the rack & pinion, a/c, aligned tires and more. Needless to say I hope to be car payment free for several more years. It drives great! Plus they were patient, professional and efficient."
Jaynelle Hundley
"I trust Spectra with our vehicles because I know they are only going to recommend what actually needs to be done as opposed to frivolous/extra charges, & they are going to do it correctly the first time!"
