Great place to get repairs! I had an extremely personable and professional experience and my motor mount was replaced with a fair rate and prompt, effective and timely job. Using this place for all future needs for my car. Love the photos of the beautiful family on the owners welcome screen!!

I’ve been wanting to write this review for awhile but just now I finally got the tools and parts to fix my window and I realized it was time for a review. In 2018 while I was broke in college, my air suspension was leaking and so I brought my bmw to them. I told them that both driver and passenger windows don’t work, so don’t roll the windows down. Well they rolled the driver window down and it got stuck. They ended up removing the driver door panel to bring the window back up and then they gave me a call. They said that since they had already taken the door panel off the might as well fix the window while they were at it. A $1.50 plastic clip was the reason the window was not functioning correctly. They still ended up charging full price for the repair when it was their mistake, it was ar

*Update* We had a great first experience with these folks, but it seems as time went on that maybe they're not equipped to handle bigger jobs. They replaced our AC blower in our car, and it's really awful now. It doen't blow right. And they quoted us SO high for an engine replacement, it was as if they were trying to price it out of any reasonable person's budget so they could guarantee we would not choose them for the repair. I dunno. I just didn't have very good experiences with them after the initial job they did. Not the worst, but I definitely would not recommend again. Absolutely the best service I've ever had with a mechanic, ever. They explained everything, took their time with us and the pricing was completely reasonable. I will definitely be taking all our automobiles to them! S

This place is a joke! Showed up to do a simple smog test a half an hour before closing time only to be met with an open sign illuminated and a locked door. Once finally getting a hold of the owner who is inside of the building I was turned away because his guy who does smog tests wasn't even there. They must make plenty of money off of other folks and their cars to not have to take me as a customer. I would never recommend this business or any business who decides to shut out a customer before closing time simply because they don't need the money

I’ve been bringing my Honda civic here for a little while now to get oil changes. Recently I brought up a loud engine roar noise the car would make while driving on the road. Robert suggested what the issue might be without even looking at it. We set up service to bring the car in and get the issue officially diagnosed and he was right! It ended up being what he had suggested. Something about the wheel bearing on one of the wheels being loose/worn out. After picking up the car and driving it around for two days now, the noise is completely gone. Sounds good as new again! I really like this place. Robert is really friendly, the service is good and honestly I think the prices are right around average going rate for the services.
