★★★☆☆ 3.0 Eugene McVey · Oct 2025

Will do work you asked them not to do and then charge you for it. I brought in my 2010 Santa Fe fir much needed suspension work before a long car ride. They did a fine job with that, no complaints. But when setting up the appointment the person on the phone offered up that the car was a few lightbulbs away from passing inspection (Inspection sticker was expired). I told them specifically that I was relocating out of state and didn’t care about the inspection sticker. I specifically said I didn’t care about the bulbs or inspection. When I pick my car up there’s a fresh inspection sticker on it and my bill included the bulbs I said not to install. Did a fine job on the work I requested, but watch out cause they will do extra work you requested they not do and then charge you for it. $60 lesi

I had an inspection (State safety Inspection) here. Wait time on Tuesday mid day was only about 1 hour. Compared to the wait times at a service stations along highway 29, this is much faster. The equipment inside the shop were superior to most of other repair shops. The technician who inspected the car had a very good sense of "safety" as defined by the state. This repair service station was not interested in making money out of repairs needed for passing the inspection. Although I haven't done any repair from this service station, I would choose this station for any serious next repair job form my 32 year old car because they have excellent set of equipment ( and machine shop, too!) and highly qualified mechanics.

They were great. Got my cylinder head resurfaced for great price and quick turnaround. Randy is the man!

I took both of my to vehicles to API to have carbon cleaning done. They have very amazing customer service and provide high level great care to every vehicle they service. I recommend them to anyone. They also provide basic maintenance and a very affordable price.

Went there to do inspection and some fluid changes. Very communicative, very friendly and everything is reasonably priced. They also offer shuttle service. Really great experience and will certainly come back again.
