    I don't usually write reviews, but Alan deserves one! He is all about honest, quality service--no upsells, just what your car truly needs. I brought in our family-prized 1997 Jaguar for basic maintenance, and Alan worked his magic. I'm confident bringing in our other cars, knowing he has his customers' best interests at heart. Definitely reach out ahead of time since he's a one-man show... though with this level of service, that might not be the case for long! Highly recommend!

    I have been a customer of Alans' a little under a year now. Let me tell you a little bit about how he manages his business. Healways accommodates with my schedule and has reasonable prices. He is a reliable mechanic and will take care of all my car issues. I have visited him now on 6 separate occasions and best believe he provided same day service. I know I can trust him with my car. Thank you Alan!

    Allen is the best. So kind and very fair! Really appreciate him. So happy I found someone reliable and knowledgeable. Works hard and respects his customers. Always does a great job on the oil changes. Went above and beyond when I lost a light bulb socket within my car to help me try to find it. We searched and searched for it but no find. The car ate it, and it's a goner but at least I know it's completely gone thanks a ton Allen

They took the time to explain the repair, confirmed the diagnostic code, and even pointed out a few things I should do to help my Prius last longer. They noticed my hybrid battery cooling fan was missing after I told them I just had it "replaced" at another shop. That's the kind of information you don't usually get from a repair shop. They ended up not needing to drop the subframe, so they adjusted the labor instead of charging me for work they didn't have to do. It still took the amount of time they said it was going to take, but still discounted me a little bit which I thought was cool. I also had them do an oil change while it was there, and even that was less expensive than what I normally pay at places like Jiffy Lube or Valvoline. If you own a Prius or any hybrid, I'd definitely recommend checking them out. More than anything, I left feeling like they genuinely know these cars and took the time to educate me, not just fix it. I'll definitely be bringing my Prius back if I ever need anything else.

Three days later, I was still waiting for my vehicle. While I understand that unexpected delays can happen, what was most frustrating was the lack of honest communication. On Tuesday the guy called in the morning saying it would be done by noon. They didn't call me until 1:30 saying it's almost done. Well by 3 pm I still haven't heard from them so I called and they said they were almost done. Every time I called, I was told my car was "almost done," yet the timeline kept getting pushed back without any clear explanation. By the end of day Tuesday they said they needed something else to fix. At this time the rental car places were closed so I was screwed without a ride. On Wednesday, the guy called saying again they were almost done and should be done by noon. Again I haven't heard from them at all so I had to call them at 3pm. They kept saying they were almost done. They didn't finish until nearly 7pm and this place closed at 6. Ridiculous. If they had been upfront from the beginning and provided realistic expectations, I could have planned accordingly. Instead, I was repeatedly given inaccurate updates, which made the entire experience even more frustrating. Waiting three days for a brake job is unacceptable, especially when there is little communication and no proactive effort to keep the customer informed. Good customer service isn't just about fixing cars--it's about respecting your customers' time and communicating honestly. This terrible communication and inaccurate timelines are reasons I will not come back.

The mechanic said yes, he even gave me a quote for both if they provided it and if I bought the part. Feeling satisfied with the response, I brought my car to this shop and agreed to the service and diagnostic. The mechanic said they were not busy and could get my car checked with in an hour or two. I had to call after almost three hours to find out if they had a chance to look at my car. He conveniently said I was just about to call you. He quoted me for an additional part but for almost 4x times the amount he quoted me. I understand that prices and estimates can vary but when I have to call and then you quote me for prices that are wildly different and say that it's manufacturer parts and not aftermarket is total BS. The. mechanic has the audacity to then say his mechanics don't want to install aftermarket parts on cars. I asked why he said they could install it in the morning g when I talked to him and he couldn't provide any good answer to it other than excuses than try to blame me for my misunderstanding him about the aftermarket parts installation. Then another three hours go by and I call 30 minutes before their 6pm closing time and even had shown up at the shop and the shop was closed about 20 minutes before closing. The lack of professionalism and utter disrespect fora new client coming in to their shop is not only disrespectful but I would discourage anyone from coming to this place for any reason other than give them the middle finger as they drive by. Please learn from my mistake and avoid this shop at all costs. It's not worth pouring your hard earned money for a dishonest mechanic.

When I asked why it was so high, they mentioned it included some kind of "warranty" with the oil change.

I'm all for paying a fair price for good work, but for something as routine as an oil change, I expected pricing to be at least competitive with a dealership...not significantly higher. Ended up going elsewhere.
