I have taken my car twice and both times is been an excellent service. He always mention that he will take his time in order to provided a good service, even thought he only takes a couple of days to return my vehicle as good as new.

Took my car here 6/27/25 1 hr before closing. The son told me his dad would get back to me tomorrow because his dad had sold his car and someone crashed it and ran. Understandable. Fast forward to today 6/28/25 called in the morning. He said give him 30 mins to hr to look at the car. Called him back just to ask him some questions because I didn’t know if his son got him up to speed on what I wanted done (which was an estimate for a coil). but before my husband could even ask, he rudely said,”if you’re going to keep calling me and not let me work, come get your car” GLADLY SENOR. Wouldn’t want someone like that working on my car anyways. Take your business elsewhere to someone who’ll appreciate it. πŸ‘

I came here for a simply brake pad replacement. I left happy thinking i got a good price and service. Not only 2 days later, my breaks start to squeak and make terrible noises. I will never come here again. Had to go elsewhere to get my brakes replaced AGAINNNNN, not even a month after getting them replaced.
