When I came an older gentleman was here being serviced and had nothing but great things to say and him and all his friends come here. I had some minor issue with my car come to find out it was just a battery and normally there is a service charge (everywhere does this) just to look at the car and they didn't charge me. This may seem small, but every auto place normally does this charge so for them to take 2 days looking at my car with no charge! Is a big deal. Thank you, I found my new mechanic

Mitch,…read morethe owner, was super welcoming and never talked down to me, which I really appreciate at a shop. He just tells you how it is. I also thought I might have an oil leak, and he said no problem, he'd look at it after the oil change. He even mentioned I could bring my own oil and filter if my car needs specific ones. Most places would just use whatever, so that was a nice touch. Car was up on the lift and done in under two hours. No hidden fees, just labor. Easy, friendly, honest. I'll be back.

They accommodated my BMW i3 last minute for an oil change. In less than two hours, they called me back with a comprehensive, digital inspection report of my car--complete with pictures. They flagged some damage to a back tire and recommended swapping out just the rear tires. They were able to order and stock the specific tires that very same day! The entire operation is unbelievably seamless. No matter who I spoke to over the phone, they were knowledgeable, friendly, and completely on top all things relating to my car. They even offered a shuttle service for both drop-off and pick-up while my car was being worked on, making the whole process incredibly convenient. A massive thank you to Steven, Robert, David, and Carlos! I was so thoroughly impressed by the team's swift work, honesty, and professionalism that I brought my partner's car in the next day for a full tune-up; which they did in single day! If you want honest, fast, and top-tier service, this is the place to go!

After I pickup my supra I noticed the exhaust sound wasn't consistent which Flow Master and lifted the car to discover a generic no brand muffler and very poor welded job. When I confronted Omar, he said that despite my muffler not saying it was a Flow Master. I called Flowmaster the company to confirm, and they let me know they do not create Flowmaster mufflers without the Flowmaster brand emblem. Advance Muffler also had installed a 'magma flow" muffler on my son's Acura Integra a few months back so I also lifted his car to find that his muffler was also generic with no brand markings. I spoke to Omar about the situation and he refunded my Supra install and stated he is not a muffler guy and didn't know. I believe this shop often claims to sell you brand name mufflers, like Flowmaster at a premium price and installs generic no name mufflers not expecting customers to ever check.

They noticed I was past due on my oil change and said we could take you now and have you put in an hour. This would have never happened at my old mechanic. To be seen by them you have to go first thing in the morning leave your car and hope they call you same day to say it's ready for pickup. I would definitely recommend come here. Fast efficient and worth your time.
