Do not go here, they will break your car, and when you confront them they will lie and say they have years of experience and cannot break something. The owner is an ignorant misogynist who will not listen to any concerns you may have.
I was hearing a sound when I was driving my car, and it turns out I need to get my brake pads replaced. My dealership quoted me $500 to replace them, and this shop said they can do it for $200. I brought it to them, and they confirmed that I needed to replace my brakes, when I said, I wanted to have Napa brake pads installed, he told me he already purchased the OEM brake pads for my car. I have a newer car with various auto-braking systems, so in order to install my brake pads, you need to hook it up to a computer in order for the calibration for the auto braking system to occur. I made sure to ask if he knew how to work on newer cars, he assured me he did. Unfortunately, he did not.
While trying to install my brake pads, he did not properly calibrate the auto braking system, and thus he broke my brake caliper. I did not realize he broke my caliper until I went to the dealer to purchase another caliper and they told me, it needs to be calibrated or else it will break in the same manner. This is a $500 part that he broke. When I asked, if he knew how to install it, he said he does, and instead of understanding my concerns he started to argue with me and yell at me. At the same time, a group of other men started to stand around and stare at me, these men were affiliated with the owner. As a woman, I felt very unsafe. I allowed the mechanic to work on my car so that I can leave.
Every time I tried to mention that I have an auto braking system that is advanced, he misunderstood me and assumed I was speaking in regard to the parking brake. Every time I tried to clear the confusion, he blatantly ignored me. The younger mechanic understood my frustrations, however, he has only been a mechanic for 3 months before working on my car, so he did not quite understand what I meant by an advanced braking system. In the end, I had to take my car to my dealer and pay them $800 in order to fix all the damage that the owner had caused to my car.
Overall, I will say, take your car anywhere else, as the owner is an ignorant misogynist who will break your car and then blame you for it. read more
