Customer Reviews
We brought our van in and we just purchased about 8 months before and was having a lot of issues. Peter diagnosted and told us the van wasn't worth fixing and he didn't charge us for the diagnosis even though he told us so many things that were wrong with it and also showed my husband. I really wish we would have brought it to this mechanic before we bought the car but it was so nice to meet a competent and thorough diagnostic mechanic that was just telling us how it was and wasn't just trying to make money.
Peter's was recommended by another shop to help with a tricky job on my Dad's old 1991 Civic. I was really tight on time and his crew got it done in 4 hours so I could make my flight that afternoon. Exceptional customer service. Did the job needed and did not tack on anything extra, no diagnostic fee, etc. Will be going back next time repair is needed.
24 hours from drop off to fixed and picked up. Fair price, easy transaction and highly recommended. Peter and his team took great care of my vehicle and had me up and running quickly. I’ll be going back for any future repairs.
Recently, my power steering went out. Took my vehicle to my regular shop and one of their affiliates and they were unable to repair it (they mainly do minor repairs, brakes, tires, etc.). Called the dealership and another full-service mechanic I had used previously and neither was able to get me in to even take a look for 2 weeks plus. Peter's was able to look the following business day. He ordered the part and it took about a week to arrive, but he had my car done within a few hours of dropping it off. The estimate was a little pricier than I expected but another trusted mechanic told me that it was certainly within the range he would expect. Peter was very friendly and professional, and apparently knows his stuff!
Do not bring your Car here !!!! I brought my 05 Honda Crv because the oil light was on. It had a leak from the Vtec solenoid, specifically the gasket on the inside, which is $10. I was told to replace the whole Vtec Solenoid (orginal OEM) and the part price was $230, plus labor $150 and tax/fees, came out to $455 These people purchased a cheap aftermarket replacement which costs less than $100 from Autozone and put it in to replace my oem one. After i got the job done, later on about a month after, my car is acting erratic while driving on the highway, it would go limp and lose power. Turns out the problem was the Vtec solenoid they installed from Autozone. I had to order a used Oem part from Ebay and had it installed. My car never had the problem again. I wasted $455 on a job, which
