Very honest, incredibly reliable, fast and charges very reasonable price for their polite and professional services. Dont let the plain exterior fool you. They saved me after my alternator belt broke on the highway, they replaced it within a couple of hours and charged only 1/2 of what others would have charged. We were scheduled to fly out for a family vacation for two weeks, so they said they will park our car in their garage for two weeks if it werent done before we have to leave, no charge. In their location, parking space is prime. I couldnt believe that they would even think of offering this. Fortunately it was repaired in just a couple of hours. I just had my transmission and cooling fluids changed here, they charged me $29 while Toyota quoted $179. I also had a cosmetic issue with a plastic cover in the rear side, instead of ordering a new piece as others suggested, he pointed out that it was just the metal clip that needs to be replaced. I dont understand how would some people find their experience negative here. As far as my experiences goes, they were all very positive. I am always going to bring my car here. Very sweet folks!

This place is seriously a godsend. I have never owned a car before and have no idea how to do things. The folks here are helpful and honest, providing you all of the options, even if that means going somewhere else to get your work done. The work is always well done and fast. And its always a fair price, if not cheaper than that. My fiance and I have been here a few times and its always a stress-free situation. As people who dont know about cars, we always get a little stressed out when we think about taking our car in, but its never stressful here. Seriously, take your car here for all of the work you need.

They told me to drop off my car one day at 8am and pick it up at 5pm the same day (for body work) so when i went there the car wasnt ready yet and told me to come back the next day at 10am. The next day i called just to make sure the car was ready and again they told me to wait 2 hours, and when i finally picked up the car they told me that the paint is not shiny because i didnt gave them time to buff the car, PLUS I DIDNT LIKE THE QUALITY OF THE JOB PERFORMED IN MY CAR! Thats unprofessional! No good at all. Thank God i didnt pay anything but the person who hit my car. SO DISAPPOINTED!

Absolutely a scam. These are the type of places that give mechanics a bad name. My sister took her truck in because it wasnt running right, and instead of diagnosing the problem, they told her that her MUFFLERS need to be replaced for $700! A completely unnecessary repair, that didnt even fix the problem. Her exhaust is in excellent condition. These are the WORST kinds of mechanics; the ones who take advantage of women. For an ACTUALLY honest mechanic, Joes Expert Auto or Auto Repair Plus are the only two shops I trust. Give the good guys the business.

Ive been to these guys a couple times. Totally honest. Just now I had a "service engine soon" light on, and they told me it was $75 to test it and that would be applied to the repairs. They tested it and figured it was probably something small like a loose gas cap. So they cleared the warning and sent me away without charging me the $75. Another time I went there a couple years ago and it wasnt free but I felt like they undercharged me. I hope they stay in business!

Updated review: after a little over a year and a half and only 15,000 miles, the aftermarket brake pads they installed have already worn down to 3 mm and need replacing again. This coupled with the fact that they did not Close the oil cap or drain plug the last time I had them change the oil means that these guys will never touch my vehicle again. They cannot complete the simplest of maintenance tasks successfully.

An "honest" auto repair shop, what a rarity these days, especially to a female with limited knowledge. These guys are not trying to over charge you, as a matter of fact, they give you a break and tell you straight up what the problem is. They dont take forever and they are friendly and courteous. I highly recommend them.

Never ever go there again, They always promise to finish work but they never done on time! 2 on 10 place. Dont waste your time go somewhere else.
