Since moving here, finding a good honest mechanic, that didn't charge ridiculous prices was extremely stressful.
I moved here with a brand new Buick, and got screwed by every Buick dealership in this area. We had some warranty issues, and got the run around. So we refuse to use another Buick dealership. Our next car won't be a Buick either. But that's not the point of this review. Point being we have had some bad car experiences. We have kids with cars too. So we desperately needed someone we could trust. Our own Yelp searches found us some okay mechanics. But their labor fees were way too high!
Finally as we got to know our neighborhood, we were referred to Phil's Auto clinic. Now, we bring all our cars here.
Phil, his family, and his team are amazing. They have reasonable prices, they work hard, fast, and accurately.
I trust what they tell me. If he doesn't know, he says he doesn't know. He won't fix things that don't need to be fixed, just to rule them out, which is extremely refreshing.
One thing I can't stand to hear a mechanic say is, "I couldn't duplicate the problem" it sounds lazy, put the damn car in the lift and find the problem. That's what Phil does.
Very convenient to have such a trustworthy mechanic, so close to home. I can walk there to pick up my cars. He cares about his customers, and the work that leaves his shop.
I can say enough about this place. I know he is slammed and doesn't need the business. When he was recommended to us, we were nervous he wasn't taking any new clients. It is my understanding that most people in our neighborhood and beyond use his garage. We are grateful to be part of this neighborhood, and one of this garages clients. read more
