I'd had another auto guy tell me I needed new brakes, new transmission and engine mounts and a bunch of other repairs, so decided to get a quote a 'south street auto' Kevin the owner said I only needed brake bracket parts and cleaning, and something with the power steering but that my brakes were almost new and the engine looked great. I asked him to do everything on the car while I was there to make sure it was safe for my college aged son to drive and it all totaled $414. I saved a few thousand by coming here. I noted that every guy that came in was a 50-70 year old local who had obviously been taking their cars there for years. This is now my go-to auto place. Kevin could have told me anything was wrong with my car and I'd have no clue but he obviously runs a honest and extremely fair priced.

I can definitely second that! Kevin explained things clearly, was the lowest quote AND offered me a sweet loaner of a Mustang that my kid was super happy to be seen in! To top it off, I now have my AC working again. Pretty happy and when my compressor finally goes to the great beyond, I will return.

If I could give more stars, I would. I rarely write reviews, but felt the need to today. I went…read morehere to have my power window fixed. They did not have the part, but told me to order it through the dealer and they would put it in. When I came back with the part, Robert put it in within five minutes and didn't charge me anything. He would not take any money, because he said it was simple to do. We met both Nino and Robert the day before, and were so impressed with their friendliness and understanding of the issue to be fixed. You just don't find this kind of honest and caring attitudes often. Thank you for being amazing! I highly recommend Nino's Garage! Support locally, everyone.

If ur buying a new car (new new or new used)..he will take it in and spend 8 hours meticulously going thru every part and system of the vehicle to make sure ur not buying a lemon. And oh yeah.. I forgot..HE DOESNT CHARGE A DIME FOR IT!! If you bring him ur car and you think something is wrong with it, he will do a comprehensive exam and if nothing is wrong then he doesn't charge you a single dollar. he charges almost nothing for labor. if he spends the whole day checking stuff out and he doesn't find anything wrong..you will not get a bill. he did a 6 hour tune up and brake job on my truck and charged me $30 dollars TOTAL for labor. while the minimum per hour charge of ANY other mechanic in this state is $75-$90 per HOUR. That saves you, the customer $720 dollars off ur bill. he's a rare man, especially for mechanics.. doesn't try and rope you into buying or paying for stuff you don't need and doesn't do a whole bunch of extra stuff that's unnecessary and once it's fixed it's REALLY fixed and you will have zero concerns. if you are a customer of his and dont have a certain tool or wrench etc..he will let you borrow anything you want, no charge. What mechanic in the world would do that and on top of it wouldn't immediately tell you to come in so he can make money off of you. Do urself a favor and go to B and D automotive. for very special items that only dealers and specialty shops usually do he will refer you to another shop in the area who won't screw you on the price as well. Do urself and ur car a huge favor!

Sure enough, the estimate was scheduled for two days and cost a lot, but was, almost 50% cheaper (thousands of dollars) than what the dealer wanted. He explained the process and showed me parts.
