I have been going to this shop for years. They are very honest and offer fair prices. Mike and Alex are excellent mechanics. Highly recommend!!

They did fix my car. But Mike has been doing this for years and no longer cares about customer service. I believe they over charged me for an easy part. When I searched online for the part needed, it cost $7.98 + shipping. Mike charged $300 to fix the suv

I have been going bringing my car here for many years. I usually drop my car off in the morning and Mike has it ready for pickup before the end of the day. His pricing is always better than fair. He work is reliable and his diagnostics are spot on. Most importantly, Mike is extremely trustworthy. He will never lie or try and sell you something you don't need.

Mike is consistently reliable and honest every time that we have a question about a noise with our car or a more obvious issue. We come back time and time again. I am always greeted with a hello and most of the times a smile. He doesn't try to sell us on other 'issues with the car.' Always a great turnaround time. Highly recommended!
