I have an hour drive home and this shop is on my way there. They don't respect the customer's god damn time. I lost an hour of work to get off early for a state inspection, because I made an appointment the day before. I was told that a state inspection would take 45 minutes upon arriving for appointment with three cars in front of mine. Really? What is the point of making the appointment then. I have been a technician and a state inspector, and no inspection I have ever heard of takes 45 minutes.
I told the man behind the counter I had an hour to be there - he laughs at me, and then made a smart ass comparison to a doctor's office, asking me if I would tell a doctor I had an hour to be there. I got my key back and left. I highly doubt that all of these 5 star reviews are by customers, but by friends and family of the owner, who I gathered was the man behind the counter. The only thing I respect about this place is that it is still one of the old school gas station garages. It has been here since I was a kid, but I have never used them before and never will again.
An interesting aside - the same man behind the counter cut himself on a car on a lift, and was bleeding all over the place. His own technicians didn't even care! They barely even reacted. read more
