**Triple check the pricing**. I received an itemized invoice before service and selected the…read morerecommended service, and declined additional work. I received a grand total including tax and misc. fees. I called before approving the final total and the staff confirmed that invoice would be my *final* total and the document I signed was not an estimate. I was told no work is done without approval. So I e-signed the invoice as a binding agreement. Later I received an updated invoice, with an additional 90+ dollars. I called and was told that the mechanic "un-declined" services for me. I was calm and respectful and requested clarification. The mechanic I was handed to accused me of trying to make him work for free. I expressed to him that I had been told I had the final total, and I would not have been able to agree to if it had been any more expensive than I was quoted. He was very frustrated with me and told me he should have charged me $270 more, and I should be grateful he gave me a discount. I do not understand how I went from receiving "transparent" pricing which I confirmed, to being accused of being a malicious person. I was not rude and I do not know what I could have done differently to have gotten the information I needed to make an informed decision. For those reading the response, I have an invoice with a final total that shows I did not approve the $270 repair. I edited my review because the owner responded with a lie. Notice there was not an apology for the way I was spoken to, just the owners dismay at my having pointed it out. I spoke with an associate on the phone to confirm my total. I was then charged for something I can prove I declined. I won't worry about proving it to Yelp, I'll be filing the appropriate reports to governing bodies. I have copies of all three invoices. I had hoped it was a mistake but it doesn't seem that way.

Two months ago, I had my break pads and rotors replaced here. I dropped off my car in the morning…read moreand was able to pick it up by early afternoon-quick and convenient with reasonable rate. Today, I went back because I started hearing this awful squeaky/grinding sound coming from one of my front tires/brakes. Emmanuel (Owner) put my car up on the lift, took off tire, examined it, and was able to find a small rock caught between the tire and the break. He showed me the rock and where it had lodged itself. After putting everything back together, he handed me my keys and sent me on my way-no charge at all, even though he spent a good 40 minutes fixing it!!! I'm so thankful for his help, his labor, and his precious time. Most importantly thankful for his honesty. He could've easily said I needed new parts, but he didn't. This time, I didn't even have to leave the shop. ( made an appointment yesterday) He took care of my car as soon as he became available. The only thing I didn't like was actually the customers in the small waiting room on their phone playing games with sound on and talking on speaker phone. No etiquette. :( Recommend by my friend who used to get service from the previous owner of this shop who also was an honest man. I will definitely continue to come back here.

I brought the car in and the service order was for an inspection. I had to remind him I was here for brakes so inspect if you want but the brakes need to get done today. So about 2PM the inspection was done and they said I needed new brakes. They also said they only had time for an oil change. They said they would call when done with that and didn't. So I got the car at 5, still with my old brakes, and will never return. Sometimes you just need to listen to your customer. They don't listen. Only have one car so lost a whole day

Barely made it there before it got flat, but I did. They checked it out, plugged it, and filled the air back up in the tire. They didn't charge me for the temporary repair, which was really kind of them. Was able to get my tires replaced a few weeks later somewhere else and the plug had no problems until then. Another time I came to get my car serviced, and that also was pretty quick and also went well! Forget how much it was but it was pretty standard compared to other places. I would trust them with any and all of my car service needs!

I called before my oil change light came on and Tony told me to wait until it started lighting up. I was immediately impressed because he could've made money off me but told me to wait.

I think he was scheduling a couple weeks out. The day of, I dropped my car off around 9am and came to pick it up around 4pm. Plan to leave your car as there isn't really a waiting area. If you walk about 10-15min you can find a coffee shop. It's also on a bus line if you want to take transit somewhere. Tony is very friendly. The oil change was reasonably priced at $88 before taxes.

While that was going on they sent a quote for a bunch of other maintenance items, which I refused. Fine, lots of other shops do this kind of thing. But they wanted quite a lot for engine air filters, so I decided to do that myself. Today I get into my engine and discover the hose from the air filter box to the engine is completely loose. There's two of these on my car -- one was properly tight, the other was so loose it had a gap letting unfiltered air into the engine. This is the only shop that's touched my car for a couple years, and if they were recommending an air filter replacement I have to assume they actually looked at them. Easy fix, just tightening a worm clamp after swapping the filters. But my car was in this state for a few months. Reader, this silly mistake could have destroyed the car's engine, and very well may have damaged it. It does not take a lot of unfiltered debris to permanently score cylinder walls. I'd need to go get a compression test to know for certain. I came to this shop for oil changes & maintenance because I didn't want to feel the need to crawl around my car double-checking a quick-change place's work. That is apparently not the level of service they are set up to provide. For what they charge and the "vibe" they give off, this sort of thing should be on a checklist a second mechanic runs through before delivering the car. Real basic "humans are capable of making mistakes" type of controls.
