    Went in for an oil change and was quoted a great price for full synthetic oil at $65 where I’ve been paying $100-130 . On a grand Cherokee. Great customer service. They also did a diagnostic to see if there was anything wrong and found out I was having an oil coolant leak. My only complaint it took between 1 1/2 to 2 hours so I recommend making an appointment and dropping off your car.

    This place is a joke not a real business. Making appointments online is impossible. Called couple days in advance to make an appointment for oil change and they said no need just show up at 8am. When I went there at 8am they were obviously not happy to see me and told me it will take 3hrs for an oil change! I happily took my business to another place but this is not the way doing business guys.

    I brought my car in for a new pully and belt. I said it was leaking oil and that needed fixed too. Other than price being high they did a fine job but that’s where it ended. They charged 200 something to clean oil out of engine bay and find source of leak. Thats all fine and good if they actually fixed the leak because whats the point then? It’s just gonna happen all over again? 1150 total. I pick car up and notice my heat is going on and off so they obviously didn’t bleed the system. I also notice it’s still leaking oil and I couldn’t make it back for a few weeks. I explain I have no heat and oil is still leaking they say it’s a head gasket and showed the dye they put on before to find source and NOT fix the leak. They said you shouldn’ttake it to a euro shop and I said can you atleast bleed the system so I have have heat since you guys didn’t do it the first time? Was denied. I been going here for 10 years and I will never go back. They could’ve saved me a lot of pain and stress.
