Pretty decent experience here--had an issue with my car stalling, and they took a look at and…read morereplaced my battery, which I expected and was at what I'd consider a standard or reasonable price --not an amazing deal, but not a ripoff--fair price for work done. They did further recommend that I replace my tires--I can't tell if that was upselling or legit--I had a recall and asked the dealer to take a look; they said I should replace them relatively soon but that also it could wait a bit. The other thing I found irksome was that I got a parking ticket notice in the mail a few weeks after the battery replacement that was clearly received while the car was here and parked on their block. I will say to their credit that they acknowledged it right away and paid it without fuss (or to be specific, reimbursed me, as by the time I received the notice the ticket was close to overdue, forcing me to pay it immediately online), but I still found it to be a nuisance. Whether the ticket was a rare occurrence for them or just a built-in expected cost for parking on city streets, I feel like they should have been aware and paid the ticket without my having to get the notice and call them to deal with it, wait to be reimbursed, etc. They did follow up a couple of times to ask if repairs were acceptable and car was running well. So I'm legitimately torn. Many positives here--it feels hard to find an honest and efficient mechanic--I will probably return the next time I have an issue, but I wouldn't say I'm fully devoted yet, as one would like to be for their car repair, and would pause and consider another option if I can find a better local rec.

We didn't figure out the hood latch was messed up until we inspected the car. He never said a word. Our car was also returned to us with zip ties holding up the bumper which he claims he had to use because the clips for the bumper was warped. He never said anything about that either until we asked about the zip ties and then he had to ask his employee what happened. How can you be so clueless about changes or dents to our vehicle but then say you are not responsible for the damage, and that we brought the vehicle in damaged. Originally he never went to his cameras to check anything and was blaming Nissan for the damage because his company brought it there to re-program the vehicle. Lou acted like he cared at first and then completely denied everything. We still have no answer or accountability for what happened to our vehicle. Lou is very dismissive and was aggressive when talking to my husband about the situation. Please be aware when taking your vehicle to this shop that you risk your car getting cosmetic/auto body damage with no integrity or accountability from the owner and his employees. I would not recommend or refer anyone to do business with him.

Then of course they held my car hostage or made me feel like my car would not be right if I didn't keep the work they did. It's nasty. Thought he was going convince me into keeping the work after I told him to remove. Claimed he couldn't get in touch with me, but I called the office not 3 mins after I received the text and he answered ... And to know it's coming from the owner Ifran there's no resolving or changing it. Paid just to get my car out of their garage. Who knows what else they would have done to it to up charge me. Don't trust them with my car anymore. Either they don't know what they're doing and expect you to pay for their mistakes or their greedy and will bait and switch you once they're in possession of your car. Nasty work.

He has a wealth of automotive knowledge as do ALL of the mechanics at his shop. I've gone to other shops when he is way too busy, but they all have a song and dance and some little surprise at the end. Not Jose Estrella. The price is the price and he would never add little surprises to your bill. So now I just sit and wait until they can take care of my car. After so many years of doing business with this man, I recommend his shop to ALL of my friends and family. OH, AND THE BEST THING IS HIS PRICES ARE WAY BETTER THAN THE COMPETITION.
