Customer Review
★★★★★
I recently had Martin’s Garage install a Jasper Engine in my Ram pick-up truck. They provided me with a quote and worked with Jasper Engines to expedite an engine for my pick-up truck. Dallas and Christina were great to work with and were always very pleasant. Their shop is extremely clean and well maintained. Their mechanics are excellent and efficient. After they completed the engine installation, the engine compartment was very clean. It was a pleasure to do business with your organization, especially when you feel as though the people you are conducting business with are looking out for your vehicle and your best interest. I would recommend Martin’s Garage to anyone looking to have an engine installed in their vehicle. "Thank you" to everyone at your facility!

Vehicle belts aren’t that different than the belts that hold up your trousers. They need to fit properly and stay in place, and if they break, sag, or wear out, you’ll probably wish you were wearing a different belt that day. The same goes for the belts in your car. Your engine compartment is a punishing environment, and while all auto belts are made of materials designed to be both flexible and tough, even the toughest materials will eventually wear out due to the extreme temperatures under the hood.

Whether it’s due to damage, or simply old age, leaky trucks are a problem. At Martin's Garage in Shippensburg, we can fix that for you.

Water leaks are common and hazardous. Not only do they cause rust, rot, and mold damage to your trucks, they also put any cargo inside at risk. No customer wants their boxes and products to arrive water damaged - it not only makes your company look bad but can cost you a lot of money.
