    After taking my car there 3 times, no work was fine on my car, 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland. The first time I gave them a Cash deposit to order the struts. The second time they told me it would be done before closing only to call me three hours before closing to tell me they got the wrong parts and ask could I leave my car until Monday, this was on a Saturday. I could not. The third time I dropped my car off the night before so it would be one of the first to get started on. I go by before dropping my dog at the vet, same shopping center and they tell me they should be fine in about an hour. They call me while I'm at the vet and tell me they have the wrong parts again and it will take $2000 more to get the right ones. Did they really not check and see if they received the right parts the second time? Did they know what they were doing? Or was it me, a person of color, that was the problem? I saw an O'rielly truck dropping off parts while I was waiting for the owner to come and write me a check for my cash deposit.

    This is a good trustworthy auto place to bring in your car :) I took my car in for a synthetic oil change since they had the best rate out of anyone who was in the local area (I wont put the price since it may change). Bruce is the one-man rep who speaks with all the customers and leaves a great impression on customers. Everything went pretty smooth as I called in the morning, took my car in the afternoon and my car was ready 1 hr after. I typically do my own oil changes since its easy but when your pressed with time and need someone to take care of it, this is a great place to leave your car in good hands.

    I found out later that I was charged too much far too much on labor, parts and did an unnecessary part replacement. Do not recommend.
