I had a really positive experience here and wanted to share it. My 2013 Ford F350 (160k miles) suddenly started shaking badly, smelled like gas, and threw a P0302 code (cylinder 2 misfire). I first took it to a large chain shop. They scanned it and suggested it might be an engine issue, possibly needing a replacement engine ($4,000+), and even recommended considering replacing the vehicle due to age and mileage. Since this truck is used for transporting employees for my business, I was understandably concerned. I decided to get a second opinion and found this local shop just a few minutes from my restaurant. The shop isn’t fancy, but they actually took the time to diagnose the problem properly. It turned out to be a broken internal spring inside the ignition coil. Total cost: $258.52 after tax. No engine replacement. No upselling. Just an accurate diagnosis and honest repair. Because I had a backup vehicle, I was able to take my time and get a second opinion. I’m very glad I did. This shop saved me from making a very expensive and unnecessary decision. If you’re looking for a place that focuses on actually fixing the problem rather than jumping to worst-case scenarios, I hig

Excellent knowledgeable shop on old school radiators. I took my radiator for my 1975 BMW 2002 and he let me know what I had and what some possible options were for repairs. Started with a hot tank. Ended up repairing the tanks and they were able to save the core. Very affordable and very thorough. It's good to have a knowledgeable and affordable shop able to work on these old radiators. Would highly recommend

My experience with this business is limited to witnessing evidence of the owner’s cruelty and neglect of the dog they keep in the yard next to the business. People who can’t or won’t take care of an animal properly can’t be trusted to take care of other business. I urge anyone reading this not to do business with people who would treat an animal this poorly. All of its ribs were showing from being underfed and it was living in squalid conditions. If the owners read this, do the right thing and adopt the dog to someone who will give it a loving home.

I thought of giving 1 star but thought maybe business is poor due to COVID and this is the reason for the over charge. Emmanuel over charged my niece and nephew to install a starter and the price of the starter plus included a diagnostic fee of $50. He also charged them $60 to put on a 5 inch hose. Top concern is that he tried to convince them they were happy because it was fixed regardless of the charge. I intervened informing them I felt they were over charged. He attempted to make my niece husband feel inferior by saying that I was running things and not him as the man! At this time I would not recommend his shop perhaps he is survival mode or he saw an opportunity to take advantage. I'm not sure but I hope it is not the latter.
