We've been taking our company truck to Sal for over 10 years. I bring my personal cars here also. Always reasonable price, he's up front with any repairs and always gives you his honest opinion.

Only shop I take my cars to. I've been taking my cars here for the past decade for the great work at reasonable pricing.

Diagnosed my car as a master brake cylinder problem, actually ended up being the transmission. Nice guess.

MOE will take care of you! Amazing service, amazing customer service, and super speedy!…read moreI honestly expected my car to stay overnight since I arrived around 4 PM and they closed at 6 PM, but my car was done in just 1 hour and 15 minutes! I needed my serpentine belt replaced, and I also had a screw with a broken head that needed to be removed and replaced. While I was there, I asked if they could take a look at my tire because I was hearing a noise. Turns out, it was a wheel bearing. He even went out of his way to send me a picture of the damaged part so I could see exactly what was wrong. I really appreciated that transparency They took care of everything quickly and professionally. I also checked the prices to make sure I was getting a fair deal, and the prices were right around the average -- so I definitely felt like I wasn't being overcharged. Great service, fair prices, and friendly customer service. I'm very happy with the experience and will definitely be coming back for sure! Thank you, MOE, for the great service! Highly recommend!

I'm super impressed by the professionalism and the speed and quality of work that was provided…read more The service requested was to have front brakes and rotors replaced. They got the job done quickly with a great price. The value of their service is simply unmatched by any other. I highly recommend these guys over everyone. I'll definitely will continue to come and have my car serviced by them. Sorry Fritz Ford you guys suck and have lost my business forever!

I've been driving past this place by the Riverside Plaza for decades and always like how cool the…read morebuilding looked. I had a strange shaking in my front end, and thought it was my brakes . I was at the Greek place on Merrill, and when I was in the drive-through, I saw the suspension place across the street, so I thought I'd step in for some quick questions. Everybody was super cool, and even though they were busy, the guy mentioned they'ld do a free front end diagnosis to determine my brake condition. He said sometimes that means you do need new rotors. They were pretty busy, but I only had to wait about 15 minutes until they got a bay open. Turns out it wasn't my brakes at all, I had a bad strut on one side. During the evaluation, they mentioned they are also specialists in Lexus rear airbag suspension. Luckily, my rear suspension was fine and I only had that single bad strut. I decided to get both taken care of as well as the alignment for the front and rear. They also gave me a 10% discount on the alignment work because I had a major repair. I took an Uber home, because they said they might not have the job completed the same day. But they got parts delivered early, and my car was done before 5:00. Excellent work, and I didn't feel like they were trying to misrepresent any aspect of the job. As a matter of fact, I asked about any more things I needed done, and they said I was pretty much solid. Excellent shop.

So, first the good. They diagnosed correctly the issues in the front end of my son's car. I was…read moreable to replace suggested parts and it aligned wonderfully. Can't complain on the price. Now the bad. I know cars, have been working on them for years. I know what a bad CV joint sounds like. I bought an axle, called down there, told them what the problem was, and sent my car and my kids with payment. My son called me and said that they told him that the car didn't need the work, that the sound I heard was something else. The week after, I had the time to go talk to them and long story short, they said some bullshit about the steering. Ok. I went to another shop, told them what was up, they told me they wouldn't warranty the part which was fine. Work was done, cheap, problem fixed. I hate to bash a local business. These are nice folks who were wrong on a problem. It happens but I personally won't be back.
