They used to be my go-to for certain services but, over the last few years, the quality of service…read morehas gone very bad. I've had them rebuild 3 transmissions and replace 2 engines. Last engine completion was delayed due to the "mechanic" just pulling vacuum hoses without labeling. My son took a vehicle in for a flywheel replacement and the issue causing the need for replacement was not fixed and was mis-diagnosed. The latest "service" was for a safety inspection requiring a part to be replaced (as I had no time to do it myself) and a front end alignment as well. I was told that they were unable to align it correctly and afterwards it had very bad steering and pulling. I took the car to a different shop that I knew could do it and was told the the steering rack and pinion bolts were loose (MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE) and the alignment was very out of spec. I also found last night that the installation of the protective boot on the replaced part had not been completed so I had to do it myself. Third bad experience = 3rd strike and I will not be recommending this shop for any services. If I could give less than 1 star I would after all of these experiences.

My car sat in their parking lot baking in the sun for 3 months while I was repeatedly assured it would be just another week and half and my car would be looked at. At one point I called to tell them I was taking my car somewhere else but was assured it would be in right away. All they succeeded in accomplishing was the destruction of my radiator. My car then sat another 3 weeks. On Thursday September 23rd 2021 I went to the shop to speak with the manger or owner personally. Upon arrival I found my passenger side door ajar, the glove box cover torn off and laying on the floor and the under-dash cover torn down. The clear coat paint had blistered on the trunk lid and front fender from baking in 100 degree heat for 3 months. I was told by the manager the owner would contact me. I waited for 1 week to see if the owner would reach out to make this right before I posted this review. As you can see by this post, no response. Stay far away from this shop.

Today was the 2nd time something like this happened out there. I took my 03 pickup in yesterday and told Kevin I think the starter is going out. He called this morning and said they pulled it in, looked at it and found the nut holding the power cable on had backed off just enough to lose connection intermittently. They could have just stuck a new starter on and charged $300 or $400. They charged a half hour labor and handed the key back with a smile. It's stuff like that that keeps folks coming back. I wish they worked on boats too. I can't express to you how highly I recommend these guys.

As to the restroom, I don't recall it making a claim to be male or female, and as it is an inanimate object, I don't think it will be taking a stand on the issue. It didn't seem to be concerned at all about the uproar over its identity. You will have to talk to the restroom yourself if you want more detailed information. Though, I suspect it will not answer if you ask.
