If has negative, I will do it. !!! 🚨 SCAM ALERT – DO NOT TRUST THIS PLACE! 🚨 I want everyone to know how badly I got scammed here. My car had a small dent from the garage — just needed dent removal and professional paint. I went to a few places for estimates, and one shop near my home offered to do everything for $800. My husband then spoke with this owner, and he said he could do it for $700 cash, everything included. I trusted him, drove 45 minutes each way (2 hours total), and left my car there hoping for a professional job. After waiting over 24 hours, I came back and OMG — what a nightmare! He removed the dent but didn’t do any real painting. When I asked, he came out with cheap touch-up paint like nail polish and dabbed it on my car — no shine, wrong color, and looks terrible! When
DO NOT GO HERE FOR SAFETY INSPECTION. Owner does not know the difference between fog lamps and daytime running lights. He failed my lights and attempted to perform unnecessary $900 repair because my daytime running lights wouldn’t turn on inside the shop. They need sunlight to turn on. They turned on once I drove out of his dimly lit shop. Also he supposedly replaced my tag light, charged me for it, and then it failed the reinspection the next week. Waste of time and money.
Avoid at all cost! First bad experience was shortly after I got into an accident and had rear end damage. When I got my car back I was left with water damage because they left my car with a damaged trunk in the rain. Then I brought my car in to get inspected and for whatever reason they put it on the lift. Then they spread grease on my axle and tried selling me on an expensive urgent repair. I took my car to the dealer for a second opinion and was told there was nothing wrong with my car and they wiped the grease off. Such sleazy and lazy behavior
Worst place I’ve been to. I came in the morning for an emission test. The man made an inspection (that I don’t need because I have mine already). Came back in the afternoon and the man started to yell instead of apologizing. I didn’t even want to ask for a refund, I just wanted my emission done. Since they didn’t want to admit their error, they made me wait for an hour. Definitely never coming back.
Went here for a check engine light because they promised to get my diagnostic done same day. They kept my car overnight instead and when i went to pick it up, the car could barely go above 40 mph. And they decided my car’s problem was an obscure, expensive part that only they could replace. I just replaced my spark plugs instead and my car drove fine the next day, engine light gone. Never coming here again
