"Problems" identified by other shops turn out to be non-existent when I bring them here. They do, however, find the little things that have low cost parts and labor. One repair quoted at a different shop at over three hundred turned out to be under fifty in the hands of the folks at Motorvation. Major work, no problem! Engine rebuilds, transmissions, suspensions, tires, electrical, and more are all in their play book. They may not over charge, but they make up for it by doing LOTS of honest small AND big jobs - key word there is honest. I send everyone I know to them. They are great!

I had told him that I was going to do it myself, he said bring him the brakes and he'll include it in the replacement of the ball bearings since he had to remove the wheels anyways. No hassle, quick turnaround, honest, and highly recommend. The same service at Pape Subaru would have cost me triple what Cottage Road Service charged me. If you're plugging the address into Siri, it usually takes you over near Broadway Bowl, when in fact it's next to SMCC.

Wow, I am THRILLED! I tend to avoid cleaning the inside of my car because, well . . . boring,…read moretakes too long, etc. But it had been awhile (read: literal years) since I'd done anything at all to the inside of my trusty little 2009 Toyota Corolla, so it was just grimy and dusty and had dirt from the garden and leaves and whatnot. I decided to splurge on an interior detailing, and am very glad I chose Pristine. You make an appointment online (when I did so the next available was about a week and a half out, and they called to confirm and ask basic details, which I appreciated). Since I don't have pets and don't smoke, and there were no major stains, I was able to get by with Pristine's base rate for small cars ($175 at this writing; all prices on their website). I truly think this splurge was worth it--it looks *amazing*! Seats thoroughly vacuumed and cleaned, including underneath the two front seats (the guy found some things that had rolled under there from some long-ago shopping trip, LOL); carpets and floorboards now spotless; all the little console cracks and crevices spic and span. Included the trunk, too! Just FYI, the place is a little hard to see from the street--you have to pull off Forest Ave. and go between the buildings, down the long driveway to the "auto detailing" sign and their front door. Once you do you'll be greeted by the very nice young men who work there, and then leave your car with them for a few hours, and voila! There are various detailing places and I called around for estimates from a few, and I'm happy to have found this one. Highly recommend!

Don't waste your time and money here. I paid for the full package of an interior and exterior…read moredetail and I'm going to have to finish both myself. They didn't even try to properly wash - let alone detail - the exterior of the car, it seems they just took a hose to it and used my own windshield wipers to handle the windshield. The front especially is filthy with the tires covered in gravel still thst even has dirt sprayed up and onto the door. The interior of my car is quite dirty, literally sand on the seat, dirt stains to wipe off snd the windows either not finished or they had used a dirty rag because there are ugly streaks everywhere. I'm going to have to pay to have the exterior washed somewhere else and hand scrub the interior, I took half a dozen pictures of the intetior and emailed it back to them.
