- JDJaime Dimas3 days ago5.0Excellent work and great customer service!!!
- PLP LDec 29, 20252.0I’m rating it 2 because of how predatory these guys are. I’ve worked on cars for many years and know the basics of maintaining my vehicles. The receptionist had the audacity to say i needed my fuel injectors changed because it’s a preventative maintenance. NO IT IS NOT!!! He THOUGHT since I’m a woman he could be get even more money out of me and even doubled down saying it is a preventative maintenance. When i confronted him about it asking why i need it if my cars not having issues, he said they need to be changed to get ahead of issues. Girl no! I usually go to another shop (shoutout Becka auto) but they didn’t have any openings. I’m only giving it 2 stars because they do have things priced within the correct estimates.
- RDRoger DeAndaDec 22, 20255.0I recommend this shop to anyone who needs car maintenance. Staff was great Got a wheel alignment done in less than an hour. They also perform a complete under the hood inspection. And you get actual photos of any minor or major issues. Give them a try you'll be glad you did.
- VVVinnieDec 15, 20255.0Great customer service. Got my truck aligned.
- ZZZoe ZhuangDec 15, 20255.0I don’t know this mechanic store. Since I needed a regular alignment as maintenance requested, I bought an alignment service via Groupon at Black Friday. Today I got the alignment of my car done. Through the hour of working on my car, I saw the tech worked very carefully and detailed. Also, he even did the test driving, which I can’t remember any other store does it. Also, in the store there are many tech manuals collection through the years and information regarding different parts for different functions and how to maintain for keeping the car a longevity. I like all of those.
