Over the past several years I have brought 3 of my cars to Ali. What keeps me coming back is the absolute honesty that is shown by Ali and his staff. I have never had a bill that was over the estimate, I have been told that some things were going to cost more than I want to spend, and I have absolute confidence in the repair work.
One of my cars (1980) needed a very hard to find power steering pump. Ali received several 'wrong' pumps from various distributors, installed them, and had to take them back out. When the repair was completed, the bill was the same as what I was originally quoted - despite all the extra labor to install pumps that were sent to him in error.
I could go on and on with numerous examples of his honesty. I will add just one more. I brought a 2006 Caddy in that intermittently would not start. These cars are know for starter problems, I bought a starter from an auto parts store and asked him to replace it. Imagine my surprise when I picked up the car, with a bill much, much less than estimated. Why? Ali found a loose connection on the starter cable, repaired it, and did not do the unnecessary starter installation.
Just got done scheduling an inspection, 2 more to go this year, all will be done at Alis. Very rare to find an honest competent mechanic. read more
