Customer Reviews
V, the guy who runs this place is fantastic. I wouldn’t take my car anywhere else, and always consult him if the dealership says I need something. He’s been incredibly honest and his prices are more than fair, often half of what I’ve been quoted elsewhere. He’s even refused to charge me for small fixes and talked me out of paying him to fix up my old car when it was clear to him I’d be better off selling it! He’s worked on my old 3 series BMW and newer Toyota Avalon. Highly recommend. Don’t be dismayed by the old building or lack of fancy website, (less overhead means better pricing for you!) he knows what he’s doing and is great at it. Really seems to just like helping people and fixing cars. Give him a call, you won’t regret it. If he can’t fix it (some newer models have electrical syste
Extremely helpful, knowledgeable, kind, accommodating man. No sleazy vibes whatsoever and always does a good job. Me and my family have been seeing him since I was a child. Highly recommend
My car started making a horrible sound while I was volunteering at the UC. I called the owner and he was able to make time for me right then, fixed my issue in less than 15 minutes, and didn't even charge me anything due to it being an easy fix. This guy is honest, quick, and kind. Couldn't have had a better experience, I'd rate him higher than 5 stars if I could.
Peter’s is the real deal. I called for an appointment on a Friday morning expecting to be told I would need to wait next week or just turned to voicemail like the other couple places I tried, and I believe Peter answered, immediately told me to come in, and within about 15 minutes fixed my vehicle and didn’t charge me a cent. I feel very grateful for honest, kind mechanics like Peter’s.
UPDATE: I have been going to V for every issue I've had with my 2004 car. And he's the best. Friendly, honest, experienced, and quick! I can't say enough good things! ... I took my car to this place because the check engine light came on and the car was jolting and failing to shift gears. V dropped what he was doing and immediately ran out to my car and did a diagnostic test for FREE. He encouraged me to hold off on repair unless necessary because it would cost appx $800, and he turned off my check engine light and told me to come back if it happened again. When it did, he once again stopped what he was doing and ran to my car to do the diagnostic test. Though I did not get any work done because of needing to go directly to my car dealer, I highly recommend this place! I have never been
