Customer Reviews
Dont ever come to this shop. There are two mechanics working at this place, the younger one that is chubby is really rude. There are other places close by that are better and are more respectful, would not recommend at all. They also say one thing over the phone and when you get there it’s completely a different story
Was here with my friend yesterday, horrible mechanics, really rude. The chubby guy in there was unreasonably rude. Don't recommend this place to anyone, there are other great shops in the nearby plaza.
Its embarrassing to admit but it dawned on me when I went over there for advice on something, that despite myself and my father taking our cars here for probably two decades I never wrote a review anywhere. But exactly that, I feel no shame in going and asking dumb questions because they never made me feel uncomfortable doing so and they probably expect it at this point. Dealing with the same mechanics have you spending less time explaining since especially with other cars, it can be alot of trial and error. I can continue to ramble but they deserve your business because id like to continue to go there for another two decades.
If your into vintage vehicles like I am you will love this place , Slim the owner and his mechanics repair early and late models, but you will always see some cool vintage cars in for repair , maintenance or full restoration, they love what they do any work efficiently to get your car done with very competitive prices
While I have not personally had a direct experience with them- our customer raves about the business. Harry P., a mutual customer of ours had his 2013 Dodge Challenger R/T V8-5.7L Hemi, TREMEC TR-6060 w/ZF Sachs 258 mm Twin-Disc Clutch Six-Speed Manual, RWD modified by Academy Automotive. In addition, he had nothing but great things to say about Slim, the owner and his team and the various types of vehicles that they work on. According to Harry, "They work on anything and do great work." From my standpoint, the scope of work that was executed in upgrading his vehicle with a large Whipple Supercharger setup is superb! Fact is, my wife and I have worked on hundreds of highly modified Dodge Challengers including the Demon and Demon 170 models. In short, the installation of the Whipple Super
