Full-service auto repair, body, and upholstery shop auxiliary to the Silver Cab Company taxicab business but also serving the general public. Great for top-quality mechanical work, and for saving a bundle on work and parts fixing cosmetic damage to an older car you want functional and presentable, but not oddly and expensively perfect on the one spot that got damaged. (Be sure to explain if you will need a perfectly-matched, perfectly-smooth finish.)
The neighborhood is not elegant but has lots of light industrial small businesses and is well served by public transportation. In low light or at less busy times, it would be wise to drive in and wait for service (best arranged beforehand) or take a cab to leave and pick up your car, especially for women.
The people are honest, knowledgeable and efficient. But bear in mind that they primarily serve a practical-minded business clientele and do not present -- or charge for! -- as polished an apperance as dealers or shops in middle-to-upper class areas. If you don't live or work in the area, it's best to call ahead initially or for unusual work to avoid the possibility of a wasted trip. read more
