    My experience with Chris was nothing short of amazing. Chris is a hard-working, honest guy that…read morewill work with your car to the best of his abilities and not rip you off like other Mechanic. A bit of an embarassing story: Sunday morning, I went to a nearby gas station. The gas pump didn't fit in my nozzle of my Honda Civic 2014. For some reason , my common sense flew out the window and I forcefully pumped the gas in my car anyways. Well, that happened to be diesel gas I put in my gasoline powered-car. Drove it for a mile or two, and it stalled. Anyways, moral of the story: Don't make the same mistake like I did. A simple, avoidable mistake (with a hint of common sense) is the difference between shelling out a hefty amount of money from your pocket. Back to the story: I searched for a nearby mechanic who will take my car in and fix it the same day. Chris' mechanic shop popped up. Seeing that it had good reviews on Yelp, I decided to give him a call. Chris was very responsive and understanding. Even if he had several other cars on a Sunday, he decided to squeeze me in, worked on my car and get it running the very same day. His pricing is very reasonable too; Unlike other mechanics who will try to squeeze as much money from you, Chris is rather honest and straightforward. I'm glad that there are still mechanics like Chris around. I definitely will recommend him to anyone who is looking for a hard-working, trust-worthy mechanic in the area.

    Chris has done 3 jobs for me, engine to suspension. He is a consummate professional. Transparent…read morequotes, quality work, and a gentleman. He always informs you if he finds something else while wrenching, explains the urgency and lets you decide.

    1 star. Do not bring your car here…read more I brought myJeep SRT8 in for a valve cover, oil pan, and crank seal job on 5/8. Got it back 5/13, five days for a two-day quote. It was smoking before I even got back to work. Oil dripping onto the headers. Returned it same day, they re-torqued and sent me home. Still smoking. Dropped it back off 5/14 at 3:10PM. Picked up 5/15. Two lights from the shop my transmission started slipping hard in second gear. Turned right back around. Owner Ricky confirmed the slip on a test drive. His first question was whether I'd done aftermarket work to the transmission, trying to make it my fault before we even got back to the shop. Plugged in a scanner, found an old unrelated stored code, erased it, drove it again. His conclusion: "I don't know what to tell you." I pointed out the transmission was perfect at drop-off. He got angry. Said no one drove it, they only idled it. Then offered to pull camera footage as proof. I said let's go watch it right now. He said he had other things to do. This happened in front of my fiancée and two of his own employees. No intake paperwork was made when I returned the car, no mileage logged for the exact period the transmission failed. What I can tell you is the mileage on my car does not support the story they're telling. A certified third-party inspection from the shop literally 150 feet away documented my transmission passing with zero issues the same morning I dropped off. The oil pan job on the 6.1L HEMI also requires physically moving the transmission for access. They did something and when confronted with the proof, they dodged cameras and kicked me out. BAR complaint filed. Small claims next. Update "Response to Ricky, thank you for responding publicly this actually helps me significantly. You identified yourself here as "Business Manager." When I asked you in person for the owner, you said you were in front of witnesses. That is now publicly documented. Regarding the OBD codes : the stored code found was a historical "lost communication with TCM" event. That is not a transmission mechanical failure code. It is entirely unrelated to active gear slipping. Any qualified technician or BAR investigator will confirm those are two completely different things. Regarding the SRT8 being driven aggressively: on the morning of my drop-off, another shop conducted a certified digital multi-point inspection of my vehicle. 31 of 33 systems passed. Transmission was in the green. The only red flags were the exact leaks I hired you to fix. That inspection is timestamped and on record. A performance vehicle with aggressive driving history does not pass a certified inspection hours before drop-off and then suddenly fail two blocks from your shop after picking up You stated the transmission was not touched. The 6.1L HEMI oil pan job requires the transmission to be lowered for access. It does not need to be fully removed to be disturbed. You also claim no evidence exists linking your repairs to the transmission failure. There is also no intake paperwork from my return visit, meaning no mileage baseline exists for the exact period the failure occurred. That absence of documentation benefits only one party, and it is not me. Your building advertises transmission services. You told me to my face you don't diagnose transmissions. Thank You Sir
