Replaced the starter in a day and charged much less than general online estimates quoted for that make and model. Installed a replacement interior door handle and let me buy the part to save $$. It wasn't quite right, and they reinstalled it, after a long delay due to personal health issues, and didn't bill me again even though some time had gone by. It works like a charm. Don't be put off by the crowded parking lot and general appearance of the shop. They're crowded because people know they're the best! I almost hate for the secret to get out, but by all the great reviews, I think it already has! Many thanks, Octane, you all are wonderful!

I will definitely go back and have them do other work for me. It's so rewarding to find an honest and efficient team.

I came in with 3 locks on my tires I needed removed because I had recently lost my key. They removed all three but damaged the bolt in the picture. After buying a new set of locks and trying to tighten it on, they accused me of being the one that did the damage -_- AS IF. I never thought I'd need the police present for ANYTHING in my life. After seeing the damage, the manager, grabs her mechanic and asks him to check. They grab my BRAND NEW LOCK and try to tighten it on with their HANDS BRO I can't make this up. And then they tell me, "look! It works you're wrong." Right before telling me the brand new lock is what is damaged. They communicated in SPANISH, WHICH I SPEAK, but I guess she forgot so, and said to each other, "esta sobado" meaning the bolt is damaged. If you zoom in on the pictures you can see the difference between the 3 old ones and the 1 new lug nut. The 3 old ones have SEVERE signs of struggle which they did struggle to remove them because they didn't have the proper key so they had to use their own. And the brand new lock is where the problem lies......... YEAH RIGHT I highly recommend people stay away from here, these people are unprofessional as hell. I ultimately ended up getting a refund of $75 AFTER she tried to charge me $110 to fix the bolt they ruined. All this trouble for a $35 difference that could've been avoided if she had just agreed to fix what they had ruined. ZERO integrity ZERO character.

Whether it's something simple like a state inspection or more custom work on my various vehicles, they always take great care of me. One of my favorite things is their text message updates--it makes the whole process so much easier and keeps me in the loop without having to call and check in. What really sets them apart, though, is the personal touch. Every time I walk in, they greet me with a "Hi" or "Good morning"--by name. It genuinely feels like my service center, not just some random place I take my cars. That kind of consistency and friendliness is rare these days. Highly recommend them for anyone looking for honest, reliable, and personable auto service.
