My car is older with a lot of mileage so I'm not surprised when something breaks down. Just like most of us, the state of our economy is making it harder to pay for the cost of living and nearly impossible to save for an emergency. I didn't mind paying $800 (kidding) for an oil leak. There was a lot of labor involved and needed to be repaired. Got it repaired and it still leaks! On my way home from work on a Thursday night, the alternator went out, car died. I called S&S and left a voicemail to let them know that the car was going to be towed first in the morning and that I definitely need my car to get to work on Saturday and Sunday. I took an Uber to work on Friday. Friday morning, the car was towed to the shop as soon as they opened. I took an Uber and made it to work on time. I called the shop, spoke to mechanic and told him that I can't uber to my weekend job, it's too far and would cost me more to Uber than what I would make! During my lunch break, I called and spoke to the mechanic. He said that he's short staffed and he's in the middle of a big job, he would have one of his guys look at it. I reminded him that I dropped it off first thing in the morning to give them time (all day) to get the job done. He said he would try to get to it. Around 4, on my break, I called them. The alternator and labor would cost almost $800 and be done on Monday. Wow! I reminded them that this is exactly why I had it towed first thing in the morning. I need my car to get to work. I had the car towed home, had to rent a car for work, and shop around for another mechanic. The prices I got quoted are much better by a couple of hundred dollars. Bottom line, disappointed. Spent a lot of money for years on car repairs there and was a loyal customer. The expense, stress, and the inconvenience of having to rent a car to get to work was a deal breaker for me. So, if you get your repairs done here, expect to pay top dollar, expect to wait a very long time for the repairs to be done and don't expect to be a priority because now they have too many customers and not enough time. If it was my car repair business, I would have tried to make it right somehow to ensure customer satisfaction. They just said, oh well, not our problem. Next!

Niko was very understanding of the customer's needs and the customer's very specific desires of service; then I realized, that vehicle was directly in front of the store and too, looking really well maintained. Oh, and now he has the Carfax rating. Top tier. Niko has been doing what he does very well, serving the customer's needs, as he mentioned, without a vacation for 10 years. When is my first review?

Everything you could ask for in a mechanic shop friendly, personable, honest and clearly very knowledgeable. They took the time to thoroughly explain the issue with my car in a way that was easy to understand, kept me informed as the work progressed, and never once made me feel pressured into unnecessary repairs. My wife has trusted them for a couple of years now, but this was my first visit after my pre-paid BMW dealership maintenance plan ran out. The work was thorough, high-quality, and fairly priced. It's rare to find a mechanic you can truly trust, and I'm really glad we found them. Highly recommend to anyone looking for honest, skilled, and genuinely kind professionals. Thanks Nico and Rachel!

Then he smiled and said, "I'll give you the easy ones...if it doesn't work bring it back." That cost me less than $20. AWESOME! Just yesterday I started hearing a noise in the front end. Kien knew exactly what it was and in a couple hours time it was taken care of and a lot less than I was anticipating.

1 star. Do not bring your car here…read more I brought myJeep SRT8 in for a valve cover, oil pan, and crank seal job on 5/8. Got it back 5/13, five days for a two-day quote. It was smoking before I even got back to work. Oil dripping onto the headers. Returned it same day, they re-torqued and sent me home. Still smoking. Dropped it back off 5/14 at 3:10PM. Picked up 5/15. Two lights from the shop my transmission started slipping hard in second gear. Turned right back around. Owner Ricky confirmed the slip on a test drive. His first question was whether I'd done aftermarket work to the transmission, trying to make it my fault before we even got back to the shop. Plugged in a scanner, found an old unrelated stored code, erased it, drove it again. His conclusion: "I don't know what to tell you." I pointed out the transmission was perfect at drop-off. He got angry. Said no one drove it, they only idled it. Then offered to pull camera footage as proof. I said let's go watch it right now. He said he had other things to do. This happened in front of my fiancée and two of his own employees. No intake paperwork was made when I returned the car, no mileage logged for the exact period the transmission failed. What I can tell you is the mileage on my car does not support the story they're telling. A certified third-party inspection from the shop literally 150 feet away documented my transmission passing with zero issues the same morning I dropped off. The oil pan job on the 6.1L HEMI also requires physically moving the transmission for access. They did something and when confronted with the proof, they dodged cameras and kicked me out. BAR complaint filed. Small claims next. Update "Response to Ricky, thank you for responding publicly this actually helps me significantly. You identified yourself here as "Business Manager." When I asked you in person for the owner, you said you were in front of witnesses. That is now publicly documented. Regarding the OBD codes : the stored code found was a historical "lost communication with TCM" event. That is not a transmission mechanical failure code. It is entirely unrelated to active gear slipping. Any qualified technician or BAR investigator will confirm those are two completely different things. Regarding the SRT8 being driven aggressively: on the morning of my drop-off, another shop conducted a certified digital multi-point inspection of my vehicle. 31 of 33 systems passed. Transmission was in the green. The only red flags were the exact leaks I hired you to fix. That inspection is timestamped and on record. A performance vehicle with aggressive driving history does not pass a certified inspection hours before drop-off and then suddenly fail two blocks from your shop after picking up You stated the transmission was not touched. The 6.1L HEMI oil pan job requires the transmission to be lowered for access. It does not need to be fully removed to be disturbed. You also claim no evidence exists linking your repairs to the transmission failure. There is also no intake paperwork from my return visit, meaning no mileage baseline exists for the exact period the failure occurred. That absence of documentation benefits only one party, and it is not me. Your building advertises transmission services. You told me to my face you don't diagnose transmissions. Thank You Sir
