After I placed the hardware order he arranged for the vehicle's work to be done and returned it to me with a roughly 125 horsepower gain. We took this car from 0-60 in ~3.4 to 0-60 in ~2.8-2.9. Icing on the cake, post product support. Just got a text from him asking how the vehicle is performing. Above and beyond what is necessary! He had an assortment of Land Rovers and Aston Martin he was working on when I was onsite which is always good to see. My next car is almost certainly going to be an Aston Martin and Praveen will be the guy to do any work.

Made an appointment with Praveen and he took very good care of me and my Aston Martin Vantage…read more I brought my car in to have an air intake system and exhaust installed.

From the moment I met Jesse, I knew I was in great hands. Jesse is a fully equipped mobile mechanic who handled everything on the spot with amazing efficiency. He arrived right where we agreed, prepared with all the necessary tools. He completed the job quickly and right in front of me, explaining every step of the process as he worked. Jesse even checked if I wanted to keep the old brake pads and rotors or if he should dispose of them, which showed his conscientious approach and respect for my preferences. His workmanship was immaculate--everything was done cleanly, and honestly, my brakes don't squeak anymore. I can feel the improved stopping power immediately. Jesse's professionalism and attention to detail are unmatched. I was also impressed by how friendly and straightforward he was, making the entire experience very comfortable. I genuinely don't understand any negative reviews on his page, as my experience was flawless. Jesse is definitely my new go-to guy for any automotive work I need in the future. I'm very grateful to Groupon for bringing him to my attention because I probably wouldn't have discovered such a reliable and skilled mechanic otherwise. If you want honest, quick, knowledgeable, and affordable service, look no further than Jesse at Green Barrel Motors. Highly recommended!

Jorge is a straight-shooter: he tells it like it is without embellishment. I recommend him highly.

The shop is located in a plaza with several other auto repair spots. It can get very busy, especially on weekends, so I'd recommend calling ahead or making an appointment.

Top-Notch Alignment Service by Quang! I had my car's alignment done by Quang, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. Quang's professionalism, attention to detail, and expertise were truly impressive. He took the time to explain the process and made sure everything was perfectly aligned. My car drives like a dream now--smooth, steady, and precise. It's clear Quang takes pride in his work, and it shows in the results. I highly recommend Quang for anyone looking for high-quality alignment service. Five stars all the way! read more

This guy really knows his sh*t! I stopped getting my truck aligned cuz no one ever did it right. Quan took his time to get it perfect and explained what other places usually do, what he did, and why my tires were wearing the way they were. I highly recommend Hayward Alignment.

Once the inspection was completed, he explained everything to me in detail, and the final price was more than half of what the dealership was going to charge.
