Very straight forward shop and great value for your money. They fixed my belts and uncovered the issue promptly with one of the bearing being out. I would highly recommend this shop.
Looking for a brake job, they got me in and out in the same day with great service and warranty. I will be back for all my car needs. Thanks Kevin.

They were super helpful in fixing a flat on my car. Went above and beyond and didn’t charge at the end. Super grateful for their professional service.
Got me in and found problem , Happy with repairs
I love these guys. They go out of their way to keep in touch.
Had to get the breaks on my car looked at. It was very easy to bring my car there, just had to drop it off whenever was convenient for me. All of the staff was very gracious and nice. As a woman, I have had experiences in the past where men at mechanic shops have been patronizing and mansplain me, but this did NOT happen here. Everyone there treated me with respect and it was very refreshing. Service was fast and I was able to pick my car up the next day. The office is very nice inside and they have a very welcoming customer lounge. All in all it was a very good experience and I’m very very happy with the work that was done on my car. I highly recommend to everyone!!! :))
Quick, honest and reliable
