I came in for a transmission service after noticing rough shifting, and I'm glad I did. The team…read morewas professional, knowledgeable, and upfront about what the service would involve. The quality of work exceeded expectations. The vehicle runs noticeably better, and everything was completed in a timely manner. Communication was consistent throughout the process, which I really appreciated. In terms of value, the pricing was reasonable and well worth it for the peace of mind and results I received. No pressure, no gimmicks--just honest work. This is the kind of business that earns repeat customers.

The service here is very fast, quality and attention to detail to my car in their care was lovely …read more I dropped off at 8am on a Saturday and it was ready by 1130am and that was after having to order parts to install. Communication was clear and direct and they even showed me the horrible state my breaks and rotors had been. My only complaint was the exspensive cost I had to pay because I used a card for my method of payment. I was qouted $899 however because I didnt have cash I had to pay a processing fee which was a ridiculous amount bringing my total to $932. A person not being told that prior to service is very upsetting to shell out extra money because I didnt pay in cash seems unfair. Please explain to your patrons the difference or give the rates for cash vs card up front as this would help people decide if it is financially doable. Regardless I feel minus the extra fees on my car I will continue to return but will only pay cash .

When my clutch went out, I was scared to death and no idea where to go. The first five places I…read morecalled on the West Side didn't repair manual and the last one was rude and aggressive when I asked for a ballpark estimate before bringing the car in. Albert was the only person who would work a manual transmission on the west side and would give me a ballpark figure. I spoke with Monica and Lydia on the phone who were both professional and affectionate in the way they dealt with me, a customer without a car and in major panic mode. I brought the car in for a diagnosis, which took one day. Albert and I agreed on a price for labor - which was well below what I was expecting. As I suspected I needed my clutch replaced, but parts for an 01' PT Cruiser were either not readily available or were way too expensive - and Albert kept me in the loop the whole time about pricing my parts, and keeping us within budget. Finally, Albert and I agreed we would both save money if I brought him parts that I could buy online. Even with the week it took for shipping, Albert did not stress me out over storing my car there for the time being - and when the parts arrived he had everything installed and running the next day - all for the same original price we had agreed to. Great value, good customer service, family owned and operated - with his sister and cousin handling phone calls - I really felt they took care of me and quoted me an honest and fair price, all the while giving me options as to how to get him the best parts. Thanks Albert and family!
