    I don't usually write reviews, but Alan deserves one! He is all about honest, quality service--no upsells, just what your car truly needs. I brought in our family-prized 1997 Jaguar for basic maintenance, and Alan worked his magic. I'm confident bringing in our other cars, knowing he has his customers' best interests at heart. Definitely reach out ahead of time since he's a one-man show... though with this level of service, that might not be the case for long! Highly recommend!

    I have been a customer of Alans' a little under a year now. Let me tell you a little bit about how he manages his business. Healways accommodates with my schedule and has reasonable prices. He is a reliable mechanic and will take care of all my car issues. I have visited him now on 6 separate occasions and best believe he provided same day service. I know I can trust him with my car. Thank you Alan!

    My AC went out in this excruciating heat . I dropped it off and Allan fixed it. I am now driving with ice cold air.

    The mechanic seems to know his craft... He flushed my radiator, did a tuneup and oil change.. I'll be going back to him.

The worker admitted to do that un purpose because they want you to come back at 3k miles so they can check your car "in case you have a leak" .... mind you, they wont tell you you still have mileage to go, and you are good, NOPE, they will automatically just do an oil change. My husband had to ask them to actually write the return mileage on the sticker at 5k NOT at 3k .... BE AWARE, specially if you are a female (dont be fool by the fact that they have a female worker) THEY WILL SCAM YOU. Not sure how many people are getting oil changes when in reality they didn't need it.

They took the time to explain the repair, confirmed the diagnostic code, and even pointed out a few things I should do to help my Prius last longer. They noticed my hybrid battery cooling fan was missing after I told them I just had it "replaced" at another shop. That's the kind of information you don't usually get from a repair shop. They ended up not needing to drop the subframe, so they adjusted the labor instead of charging me for work they didn't have to do. It still took the amount of time they said it was going to take, but still discounted me a little bit which I thought was cool. I also had them do an oil change while it was there, and even that was less expensive than what I normally pay at places like Jiffy Lube or Valvoline. If you own a Prius or any hybrid, I'd definitely recommend checking them out. More than anything, I left feeling like they genuinely know these cars and took the time to educate me, not just fix it. I'll definitely be bringing my Prius back if I ever need anything else.

Three days later, I was still waiting for my vehicle. While I understand that unexpected delays can happen, what was most frustrating was the lack of honest communication. On Tuesday the guy called in the morning saying it would be done by noon. They didn't call me until 1:30 saying it's almost done. Well by 3 pm I still haven't heard from them so I called and they said they were almost done. Every time I called, I was told my car was "almost done," yet the timeline kept getting pushed back without any clear explanation. By the end of day Tuesday they said they needed something else to fix. At this time the rental car places were closed so I was screwed without a ride. On Wednesday, the guy called saying again they were almost done and should be done by noon. Again I haven't heard from them at all so I had to call them at 3pm. They kept saying they were almost done. They didn't finish until nearly 7pm and this place closed at 6. Ridiculous. If they had been upfront from the beginning and provided realistic expectations, I could have planned accordingly. Instead, I was repeatedly given inaccurate updates, which made the entire experience even more frustrating. Waiting three days for a brake job is unacceptable, especially when there is little communication and no proactive effort to keep the customer informed. Good customer service isn't just about fixing cars--it's about respecting your customers' time and communicating honestly. This terrible communication and inaccurate timelines are reasons I will not come back.
