Bennett is the best. I will not take my car anywhere else.
Took my car in for an oil pressure issue caused by a recent oil change at Take 5. Bennett answered the phone and told me to stop by even though the shop was closed (which I did not realize). He solved what could have been a very serious problem quickly and professionally. Glad to have such a reputable auto shop in the neighborhood.

They took the time to figure out what was really wrong and provide a solution that works. Everywhere else I went wanted to charge thousands of dollars to replace components that didn't need to be replaced. Really grateful for these guys and their expertise!

Paid $1800 to have my CV Axle, Struts and Joints replaced on my driver side. Was informed I also needed a ton of brake work but came to find out via second opinion that my brake line had been cut most likely during Nice Guy’s service due to axle being near the brake line. Returned and they basically told me to pay more money for a problem they caused.
Edit: To the Owner, again, your staff repeatedly pressed me to get new brakes and rotors with the initial job. After getting a second opinion I didn’t need either and was shown that my line was cut. You did not do me a favor by following up on work you did, it was the least you could do as a professional. Nothing is obvious about a baseless opinion to deflect blame, the car had not traveled that far since the initial work was completed and your staff initially acknowledged 4 months was not too long for an issue to have occurred based upon the type of work that was done. Your response just reiterates that you are not a business I need to spend my time or money with.
