Too bad because they are likable conversationalists, good prices and I wanted to support family owned local business. In my opinion, it is worth the extra money, less stress and peace in knowing the repairs will be done correctly the first time to just go to Lex Brody.

Came here to get a head gasket job done. Was quoted $2200…read more Owner suggested we also do a few other things while we were in there and we agreed. Price went up to $2500 Then they found other parts that needed replacement. Ok, we're just below 3,000 Suddenly the bill is over $4900 when we go to pick the car up. Jeremy claims there was additional things they found wrong and that he notified us. (he didn't and these new charges were a surprise) As we start going through the bill, we notice we're being charged for labor and parts that should have been included in the original price for the head gasket. Then, the additional parts are priced at 2-3x what they should be with outrageous labor charges. ($200 in labor to replace a thermostat which takes 10 minutes to remove 2 bolts.) Owner refuses to release the vehicle unless we pay and we have a bunch of back and forth where he starts dropping the price but still wants to charge stupid labor charges and more. Then he pulls up high prices on the computer to justify his high costs. Same parts I found for 1/2 to 1/3 the price. Now we also discover they didn't put certain parts back on the vehicle when they finished and there is a missing exhaust cover. So not only do they overcharge the work is sloppy. I cannot recommend this shop at all. They don't honor their quotes, jack up the price of parts then refuse to release your vehicle until you pay. 0 stars if I could.

I unexpectedly had a flat tire on my way to the gym on a Saturday. I was stressed because I now…read moreneed 4 new tires, since my SUV is all wheel drive. I called a few places and no one had 4 tires Luckily LB had the 4 tires I needed! They were very courteous and helpful. They were booked but they said they would squeeze me in.

LB did a great job on my car and they saved me. They earned me as a new customer. Their staff is awesome!

His clarity regarding services, rates, and process has consistently built immense trust, and I truly felt I was in good hands then, and again now. I highly recommend Speed-O Auto Services!

Two years ago, my fiancé visited this auto-shop. After hearing about the cost for such small and…read morequick service, I was furious and wanted to negotiate with the owner of the shop. My fiancé didn't want to create problems and forced me to not worry. Two year's later while cleaning her car, I find this receipt, and now I'm here to rant. If this post can one day help just one young college student who knows nothing about cars, while trying to save as much money possible to lessen their college debt, this post will be all worth it. Fiancé thought something was wrong with gas pedal since the engine was randomly revving when the foot was off the pedal. The vehicle is taken to car tech auto, mechanic says "he's busy, leave the vehicle, and they'll call once he finishes figuring out what's wrong." Not even 30 minutes later, mechanic calls back, explaining how the rubber floor mat shifted that would sometimes push on the gas pedal. Fiancé arrives back at shop, receives bill for $64.59 for his "time". $64.59, for not even 30 minutes, to move my rubber floor mat back a bit so it was no longer pressing on the gas pedal?
