    Have had to drop my car off on short notice twice in the last few weeks for separate issues that came up. The team was quick to diagnose, provided recommendations on how to fix, and in each case had my vehicle ready to go the same day for a good price. Highly recommend!

    I had a very poor experience getting my car inspected here recently and don't recommend going here. When I dropped it off on a Friday afternoon, I was told they would give me a call when it was ready in about an hour, so I walked to a coffee shop. However, after a little more than an hour had passed and I still hadn't received a call, I walked back to check on my car. The building was already closed, lights were off, and everyone was gone well before the 5:30pm closing time posted on Google, their website, and their front door. My car was plainly visible locked up behind the fence. Since they're closed on the weekend, I was stranded without a car until Monday morning, forcing me to change and cancel my plans and find other ways to get around. When I picked it up first thing Monday morning, I discovered they wrote down my phone number wrong by one digit, which is an understandable mistake despite the fact that I gave it to them twice when asked upon arrival, but strangely no attempt was made to contact me via the email I also gave. They claimed they were unable to provide any discount for the inconvenience of keeping my car all weekend without my consent, and also falsely claimed they were here until closing (I have timestamped pictures showing otherwise). Mark, the technician, was very unpleasant and in general did not seem interested in working on my car or talking to me at all. Between the poor customer service and communication, and being severely inconvenienced all weekend when they closed early with my car locked up, this is not a business I will ever be returning to. Take your car elsewhere.

    Fair prices and great service. Trustworthy and honest, they never try to upsell you on something you don’t need. I highly recommend this shop.
