TL;DR: I paid this shop to investigate a serious oil…read morepressure code. Instead of properly diagnosing the issue with a simple oil pressure test (~$100-$200), Doug (the owner) cleared the code and charged me for a mass air flow sensor instead. This led me to spend money on repairs for a car whose engine was dying--something Chevy confirmed shortly after. The shop was evasive, dismissive, and in the end, wasted my time and money while my warranty expired. --- Full Review: Do not bring your vehicle here if you care about honest diagnostics and clear communication. Last year, I had my throttle body replaced here, and while the work was okay, it was done by one of their regular techs--not Doug, the owner. This year, when my check engine light came back on, things went completely downhill. In late May, I brought my car in with a specific concern: an oil pressure code, which is notoriously tied to serious engine issues in my car model (Chevy Malibu 2016-2018). Chevy even has recalls for this issue--just not for my specific trim. I explicitly asked the shop to investigate this code. Doug took over the service this time. Instead of performing a simple oil pressure test (a basic and relatively cheap way to confirm if the code was serious), he cleared the codes, claimed one didn't return, and recommended I replace the mass air flow sensor instead--which I paid for. He failed to inform me until after the work that he never actually ruled out the oil pressure issue with the proper test. This gave me a false sense of security. I thought the issue was handled, only for the car to worsen significantly over the next two weeks. When I returned to the shop, Doug claimed the oil pressure code was back--and he needed to look into it again. I told him we had already paid for that! That's when things got truly frustrating. Doug became argumentative and defensive, telling me he "can't remember every car" and denying the code was in his notes--until he found it at the top of the receipt. By this time, my warranty had expired, which was devastating because if he had performed the test and diagnosed the engine problem properly the first time, I may have gotten help from the warranty company. He offered to "call the warranty provider" to help but never did--despite me calling to check multiple times. I ended up taking the car to Chevy, who confirmed exactly what I feared: my engine was failing. They advised a full engine replacement. The cost of digging further into the failure wasn't even worth it at that point. To top it off, when I called back to get a simple oil change receipt (to prove to Chevy that I maintained the car properly), Doug was supposed to call me on Friday. But surprise--he doesn't work Fridays. I called again, and when he finally returned my call, he screamed at me for "threatening" his workers (which I absolutely did not do) and rambled about how his dad built the shop. When I told him other mechanics had said he absolutely should have done the oil pressure test, he acted like that wasn't required and said he doesn't have to explain everything he does to customers. That's a huge red flag for anyone relying on honest diagnostics. His solution? Bring the car back and do a payment plan with him for a fix that should've been diagnosed correctly the first time. He said he doesn't usually offer that kind of deal, but would "do it for us" since we have a kid and are tight on money. --- Bottom Line: This shop might be okay for simple fixes, but the owner Doug is dismissive, unprofessional, and refuses to take responsibility for serious mistakes. I paid out-of-pocket for a repair that I never would've done had I known my engine was dying. Now I'm out of warranty, down thousands of dollars, and have a car with a blown engine. I do not recommend taking your vehicle here--especially for anything beyond basic work.

Each and every time time they have been throughout, friendly, and trustworthy. On my last oil change they ran a complementary overall vehicle check and ended up finding a problem, that if left unchecked, would have been very expensive down the road. And without me even having to ask, they brought me back and showed/explained the problem, along with answering all my questions. Communication during all services/repairs has always been easy and timely. VIP's customer service is top notch as well. When my car had to stay there for a few days, I was offered (at no cost) a ride from and back to the shop to pick up my car. (I lived very close at the time and realize that may be a factor going forward.) During the last repair, they were also able to give me a loaner car, which took away so much of the stress that comes along with having a car in the shop. Finally, if you're lucky, the owner's sweet pup will be there when you come in. :) I have recommend them to so many people in my day to day life, and I recommend them to anyone reading here as well!

I went somewhere else to get an oil change and requested a trip check, not mentioning any issues, and they called me back saying the control arm and suspension had major issues. Neat-o!

Henry, who must be the proprietor despite the name of the shop, is an old-school grease monkey who is plain-spoken and quick with a quip. He and his crew are thorough, polite and efficient. Here is the caveat: you are paying a premium for the service and "staying local," as the term is used. In other words, an oil change may cost a bit more at Sol's that. A Quick-Lube chain shop. That premium becomes pro rata higher as the repair becomes more expensive. I believe in supporting local business, and I am very loyal to Sol's, but the last time I went in and learned the a/c compressor needed replacement on my Lincoln, it would have been between $600-$1,000 more at Sol's than other shops nearby. (Sol's was $2,250; I found competitors charging anywhere from $1,350-$1,750.)
