The mechanic that worked with me said they couldn't get the right part (the car is a 20 year old "barn find"), so HE MADE ONE. This guy is nearly a magician. The staff are friendly and the waiting room has the best chairs of any car repair shop I've ever been in (and I've been in plenty at 80 years of age). Overall, the best mechanic experience I've ever had on any of my several cars.

Given his reputation, he was already fully booked. Yet, since it was an engine light notification, he let me come in as soon as I called him. He ran the diagnostic screen, found that it was nothing to be concerned about (probably a faulty sensor code issue), and sent me on my way. He brought me peace of mind without having to wait weeks for a mechanic to check out my car. I'm so grateful. Mahalo nui John!

Walked in looking for a simple oil change quote on my Acura. Before I could even explain what I…read moreneeded, the guy behind the desk cut me off and said he doesn't work on those cars. No questions asked, no effort to understand, just dismissed me flat. The whole vibe felt unprofessional and uncomfortable. It honestly felt like he just didn't want to deal with me--whether it was how I was dressed or something else, I don't know, but it didn't sit right. I was ready to do business, and he wasn't even willing to hear me out. Wouldn't recommend.

He was transparent and helpful the whole time, even doing a quick diagnosis and telling me what my car will need in the future and how long (timeline for completion) + how much the services would be. Same day services are always worth it to me. I never felt stressed out and trusted them every step of the way. Thank you John and family

I'm writing this as a repeat customer, which is why this experience was so disappointing…read more We recently decided to hold off on a repair for our van. Earlier that day, my husband was on the phone with the mechanic and asked whether he could text that same number to follow up. The mechanic answered, "You're talking to me, right?" so my husband texted to let him know we were holding off on the work. We had no way of knowing it was the shop's landline, and it was never mentioned. A week later, the mechanic called asking if we were still bringing the van in. When I explained that we had already texted to cancel, he became short and dismissive, told me he had blocked off the entire day, and waved off the fact that we had reached out by saying, "Yeah, you texted the shop phone." When I pointed out that he had told my husband to use that number, he said "yeah, yeah" and hung up on me. I understand that a last-minute change can be frustrating for a business, and if there was a mix-up about which number to use, that is worth clarifying for future customers. But responding to a paying customer by talking over them and hanging up is not professional. We won't be returning. Good mechanics are worth keeping, but basic respect for your customers should come standard.

The new owner is running things a bit differently, and I'm unsure of the experience of his team. Several of the adjacent shops recently closed and were still vacant. I'm not sure what the future holds for this building. Positives The new owner seems to be fully staffed. They check in your car and enter it into a database. They appear competent and efficient. However, I did not have any major repairs today. Today, I did an oil change and safety check, and it came out to a little over $140. ($30 for the safety check.) They seem to be relatively busy, and we have serviced all three of our vehicles here. It appears that they are set up to do most servicing and repairs. I will update my review if I need to do something other than an oil change. Negatives They accept credit cards, but I found out that they add a 3% surcharge. Unfortunately, I was informed about the charge as he was running the card. I offered to pay with my debit card, but he said it was too late. He simply tried to push the cancel button repeatedly and said, "Sorry." Suggestion For better customer service, he should have offered to do a refund and then use my debit card. Also, post a sign at the counter about new policies or charges.
