Being around the holiday season, it was impossible to get into a dealership with appointments booked up into the first of the year. My daughter-in-law found this auto repair shop on a mommy site for young mothers. This was a newer business. The owners Chris and J (not sure his name) were very friendly and professional. They repaired my car for a nominal price so much so that I felt bad leaving with them having done so much for so little that I asked them to do other things for my car such as a oil change so I didn't leave without them making some money off me. What a wonderful shop this was! I recommend this auto repair shop to everyone! It's always a great to find a auto repair shop that is honest and fair priced! Deborah J

He had it for 2+ weeks. When I went to check on it, he said he replaced the spark plugs, mass air flow sensor, replaced a bolt in the turbo and added oil, for a cost of $509 (negotiated down from $700) and he also acknowledged it did not make it run any better. Then he proceeded to tell me he thinks the turbo is going bad (mind you the turbo does nothing at idle speed). He never hooked it to a computer or checked the codes. I then had it towed back home. I ordered a PCV valve ($52 from FCP Euro) and vacuum pump gasket ($12, my suspected oil leak location). Replacing the two parts took me 3-4 hours in my garage. It has been 1 month and over 500 miles since the repair. No issues. Pretty disappointed that i spent $250 in towing, and over $500 in repairs for them to do shade tree mechanic diagnosis and repair. Also, when the car arrived back at my house the interior was filthy. The car had a tan/beige interior and the front seat and dash had oil and dirt stains all over them. DO NOT GO THERE.

The mechanic recommended I come back soon to get the other one fixed. When I went back later to do the second one, I was still having the same issue. I got a second opinion from another mechanic, and it turned out the real problem was on the opposite side from what this shop had diagnosed. So I ended up paying for a repair I didn't need, and they still wanted to charge me again to fix their mistake. On top of that, when I returned to get the actual issue fixed, they weren't able to get the part in time -- so I bought the part myself to help speed things up. Even then, they still wanted to charge me full labor for a repair that was caused by their original misdiagnosis. Because of this experience, I decided not to go through with the service or return to this shop.
