Their business is showing its age, they've been there since 1948, but they do the best work at a fair price. I've referred many people to them and they all say the same thing.

The next day when I called to complain she had the audacity to tell me that it was my fault for not asking! She knew that I didn't think that they were charging me.. Usually a business let's you know if there is a fee and how much in advance so you can decide if you can afford it...We would have said no! The women said "Honey I'm sorry that you don't understand business" I told her that charging a person without a fee being agreed on was stealing. She said "no it's business"..She was extremely rude and condescending... Definitely not my idea of how to do business or how to treat people.

Reasonable price, great owner, and nice location…read more Came in for an oil change and to track down the cause of a recurring stall issue with my Volkswagen Tiguan. The mechanic listened, asked good follow-up questions, made sure he understood the problem before drawing any conclusions, and then diagnosed it cleanly. The part arrived within the window he quoted (2-3 hours), was installed without fuss, and the final bill was reasonable. What stood out as much as the technical work: he flagged a slow coolant leak and a minor oil leak -- this is an older car, so neither was a shock -- but there was no pressure to pile on services. He showed me rough estimates so I'd have them when I'm ready and left the decisions to me. That kind of straightforward, no-upsell approach is rarer than it should be. The waiting area is a genuine plus: free wifi, a table big enough to work at, and a small fridge with complimentary drinks, large TV. My one suggestion would be to add a coffee in the AM. Also, the door to the reception currently reads "B". Might want to avoid any confusion with better signage. That said, I am a big fan of this establishment and will be using them for repairs in the future (apparently sooner than I want :) Bonus: he pointed me to a wonderful Indian place across the street, Biryani, which I'd highly recommend if you have time to kill while your car is being worked on.
