My first experience with a mechanic shop and very impressed and grateful. From the moment I was…read morescheduled until the end when I left with my car all fixed I was very impressed from customer service and questions and service that was provided with Ashley. This is definitely a place I will be coming back to when I have any issues or need anything fixed. Will be referring and recommending this place to anyone I know. Worth the commute to make sure to get 10/10 service! Thank you again!

Hello Scott Mathis here, an update to my last review. Was very satisfied with their work and was…read moretaken care of the next day. Just today April first I went by to inquire about a motor in my window the secretary there said she had an opening April 29th, bummer No can do on that one There is some nice weather coming up need that window going up and down. Anyway if you need something done right away that might not happen. That's too bad I was hoping they would be my go to mechanic that was right across the street but I guess I can only use them if it's not an emergency anddon't need it done now. That worked the last time but not this time. Scott

The issue was totally resolved; the car runs better BUT: my formerly very very stiff clutch is now smooth like butter! I don't know enough about mechanics to know the how/why, but that clutch is great and the car drives as it was meant to! Thank you so much guys and gals.

It's rare to find a quality shop open on weekends these days. While I waited in their comfy lobby, I actually enjoyed chatting with the team. It felt more like catching up with friends than sitting in a mechanic's lobby. They are 100% transparent. Brandon only noted a repair I already knew was coming up and never pressured me to spend more. They truly love what they do and care about their clients. Definitely turning into a regular here! (Side note: Enter the parking lot from Washington St to find them easily!)

I've interacted with multiple advisors and a mechanic and so far the experience has been excellent.

They offered to schedule an appointment for another day so I agreed and made an appointment today at 1pm. This place was closed/shut down for several months but has since re-opened. When I came with my appointment today no customers were in the lobby and the phone never rang. They changed my oil with a 45 minute wait. They also put air in my tires and reset the "change oil light" that was on. The guy was nice and friendly. The waiting lobby had no TV (it was off and not sure if it worked?). They also had no water, coffee, or snacks while you wait. They charged $110 for a synthetic oil change and that seemed like a lot for what they did. I might come back, if I do I'll call ahead and make an appointment as they do not appear to want or accept walk in business. But who knows, maybe the place closes its doors again next time I need an oil change?
