WARNING!!!! Do NOT USE THIS MAN!!!!…read more Lorenz came to my home and told me I had a simple oil leak and towed my car to the "shop" on a Friday. We had some bad weather and he stated that they needed until Wednesday to complete the job. I paid him $40 for diagnostics and then $150 for the tow. Then sent $550 for parts. I also got a rental for 5 days through budget rent a car which cost me 500$ Wednesday came and it wasn't done. He said it would be done Thursday. I got the rental another day. Another $68 and $15 extension fee. Friday came and he said it's still not done. So after a week I have paid over 1k and it's not done. He promised it would be done the following Tuesday by 8pm. I returned rental that morning. At 9pm when he didn't show up he texted that he was done but there was still an oil leak. WHAT!!!!! He said he had parts and needed until Monday. Monday morning I asked him if it was going to be completed as promised and he said no. He needed til Wednesday. So 13 days he has had my car and it's in the same condition. I just had enough and sent a tow truck to their shop to get my car. When tow truck arrived it was at someone's house. They told me it was a mechanic shop. It's a random house on a sketchy neighborhood and my car sitting in front untouched with snow covering it still. He misled me as he had a shop. He just paid google bc he was the first to pop up. I trusted him and he lied several times. I am now at a mechanic shop hats legit and have had to get ANOTHER rental car for the week. This guy has lied and set me back almost 1500 and my car is in the same condition as it was 13 days ago. Do not trust him

Was told by neighborhood Whites that Black people in Dayton know not to go there, Dummy. Trolls under the bridge. Should not have taken my dad's old truck there. Zero trust.

Not worth the price. Had an oil change done. I chose this business because of a deal I found on…read moreGroupon. Oil filter was left so loose that my oil was down by more than half within 2 weeks. Luckily I caught the problem and corrected it before it did any damage to my engine, as far as I know. I tried to get in touch with the business owner to pay for the additional oil that I had to add and he refuses to accept or return my phone call. Was told by an employee there that the voicemail box is not monitored at all. If this place can't even tighten an oil filter securely, why would you trust it for any major or minor work on your vehicle? If the owner can't make a phone call to speak to a customer about a problem, why would you trust him with your vehicle?

He's a very personable but professional. He has my business going forward, with all 3 of my vehicles.

I remembered their helpfulness and went back July 2023 when my main car starting squealing. They installed a new serpentine belt and checked over the car in general.

If you want the best service and best price in the area this is the place to take your vehicle!…read moreThis group of mechanics will not upsell you on the things not needed but they will inform you of maintenance that could be coming down the road. You really can't find that in a shop these days because everyone else is looking to upsell on maintenance that could wait or just to line their pockets. These guys stick to their word and provide the greatest customer service and mechanical ability around. I will continue to take all my vehicles to them for any repairs!
