Saw positive reviews here and went for it. Steve saw the truck the very next day, was super thorough with his analysis, and spent 30 minutes afterward with me discussing what he found and his recommendations. Ultimately he recommended against purchasing the vehicle for several reasons, and gave suggestions as to how and where to look going forward. I'm not local to the area and am really thankful to have found Steve. He was so knowledgeable, thorough, and honest that I wish I lived closer! I would absolutely send anyone here. Top notch mechanic and all around nice guy. Thanks Yelp for the recommendation, hope others find their way here too.

Feels kinda weird actually having a good experience... but I have to give credit where it's due. Lube Express took care of me! I arrived at 8 am in the morning, and the owner came out to greet me. I was just here for an oil change, and he was able to get me right in. Some observations. When Mike, the owner, came out to talk with me, he was clean, well spoken, and professional. You can tell just talking to him that he's a straight shooter, and runs a tight shop. I sat in the customer lounge, which was clean, well organized, and actually smelled nice. The mechanic came out just once to verify my choice of oil, and didn't try to upsell me any nonsense. I hate when those other quicky-lube places try to tell me my PCV valve needs replacing, because "it's pretty dirty." Those amateurs don't even know what a PCV valve does, much less when it needs replacing. None of those shenanigans here. Another observation: You can tell these guys have their stuff together. I took a good look into the shop, and they have their tools laid out in a very organized way. The shop is also clean, even the floor. It speaks well of these guys. I appreciate an organized shop. All in all, this was a 5 star oil change experience. Nice Work Mike, Paul, and crew! I will be coming back for my next oil change!

By 1:30 they had diagnosed the issue and let me know what the cost would be and let me know the car should be ready for pick up by the end of the day. I gave them the go ahead, and at 3:30 my car was ready! I got there right at closing due to traffic, and luckily caught everyone as they were heading out. They let me know in the future to just give them a call if I'm running a few minute late so I don't waste a trip over there. But I got everything paid for, and drove off my car, as good as new!

He immediately drove the car to the garage. I waited outside for around five minutes. Then he returned with a report that said "pass". I was good to go. On my way home, I noticed my check engine light was on, it was not on when I arrived at the shop. However, after a short drive down the road it went away on its own.

I took it to Sharp Transmissions because of the reviews and its a transmission shop. I work on my truck as much as I possibly can but dealing with repairing a transmission is out of my wheel house. I dropped off the truck in the morning and I got a call about 2 hours later. Milt told itme he had inspected the car test drove and it was not the tranny it was the power steering pump that had a small not noticeable leak but the fluid resevoir was almost dry and that was the noise I was hearing coming from the truck. He added power sterring fluid and solved the problem but let me know it something that will need attention down the road. I thanked him I picked up my truck later that evening. Drove the truck home ran like a charm. I will certainly take it to him again when I need work done. I appreciated his honesty he could have told me I needed a new transmission instead I got a honest and fair evaluation and fix. Thanks Milt glad to see that there are still good folk out there.

I picked the car up this morning and it is working perfectly. Like I said before, if you are not taking your car to Sharp, you should start doing so.
