    This place is a neighborhood gym. First off, it's an acute deuter revival building that's about 100 years old. It has a bay labeled Auto laundry where they used to wash cars. But they give great auto service and Rick, the guy who runs the place is a great guy. He listens when customers describe the funny noises, their cars make and doesn't even raise an eyebrow. He's very patient and understanding. The prices are good. I just bought tires, and the price he quoted not only included mounting balancing and alignment. It even included sales tax! I love this place!

    Google made me give this 1 star, this place don’t deserve any stars!! I purchased a used tires from them for $75 only to drive off the lot and put air in it the next day, and again and again. I took it back up there and the guy who sits at the front, possibly the manager stated that I could drop the car off and they will look at it. It took 20 minutes probably less for them to put the tire on and now that I have an issue with it (still under warranty) he don’t want to assist me in my emergency. He stated that I drove the car up there on a flat basically implying that it’s ok for me to keep driving it around with it being low and seeping air. He was rude and unprofessional not willing to assist me when they sold me a defective tire. I will never go to this place again, but your tires elsewhere because they will overcharge you for defective tires. BEWARE!!

    My husband to my suv into the shop he told my husband everything would be 450 and then called back and said he needed to get the compressor out the car to do it and said it would be 550 and my husband said he couldn’t pay that and he said you can’t come up with a extra 100 my husband said no, and when we go the car back he unhooked the AC as well and we had to go back. He is trying to get extra money.
