**HIDDEN GEM ALERT**
I was referred to this place by some police officers working in the area after my alternator showed signs of dying. Made the last drive home before my car wonked out completely.
For two days, I called around to different shops for quotes. The dealer was the worst priced (ridiculously so), and this place was the best priced even a few bucks cheaper than Pep Boys. Decided to go with the tried-and-true referral to a mom pop shop rather than a corporate, poorly Yelped Shop.
I had zero regrets. My car was towed in at 1PM and I received a call same day (yay!). The owner Ted was awesomely friendly, explained each test to confirm alternator and battery (both of which my cousin, a former mechanic already verified), smiled kindly, and sent me off in my car that ran like brand new.
I'm so glad it worked out well, as I'd initially had doubts about a place that hadn't been reviewed, and didn't even have hours listed on Google (turns out owner is traditional /old school who isn't great with technology but runs his shop mostly by referrals). I definitely lucked out! THANK YOU, TED (if you ever read this :) read more
