Last week they done my car service very good highly recommended specially Sam
Best mechanics around! They are always on time, very professional, and do a crackin' job. Highly recommended for anyone who wants their car in good hands.
Avoid this place – It's a classic bait-and-switch trap. I brought my car here for a Roadworthy Certificate because it was close by and I needed it done urgently for a buyer. The car actually had a previous RWC that had just expired a month prior and the vehicle hadn't been driven at all in between. Initially, their inspection seems like a great deal at $180—but only if you pay in cash. Be warned: this low price is just a hook. Once they have your car, they invent a list of ridiculous, fabricated "defects" to extort you for the certificate. Some of the excuses they gave me: "Smooth" steering wheel: They claimed the grip was worn out and smooth, even though the grip is perfectly normal and there are zero issues with hands slipping while driving. Fake leaks: They told me there was a green liquid underneath that "might be coolant." I pointed out that my car's coolant is pink and the cooling system/engine had recently been extensively repaired. He said then it was just A/C condensation. Headlight alignment: They claimed the headlights needed alignment, despite the car sitting unused since passing its last RWC. And last that "Rocket Gasket needed replacement". To issue the certificate, they quoted me $500 to "fix" these nonexistent problems, but conveniently offered to drop it to $400 if I paid in cash. It’s incredibly obvious what their business model is: lure people in with a cheap cash fee, invent useless problems, and overcharge for unnecessary fixes. I absolutely do not recommend this place. Save yourself the headache, pay a little more upfront at a reputable shop, and get an honest assessment.
Great service for my check up. Friendly staff, fair price, and my car is running smoothly. Would definitely recommend 👍
Great service! Ask for David — he’s a very skilled and reliable mechanic. He also speaks Spanish, which is ideal for the Latino community. Highly recommended.
Edgar is an excellent mechanic. He works with professionalism, honesty, and great attention to detail. The service was efficient, transparent, and the results were outstanding. I highly recommend his workshop to anyone looking for reliable mechanical work, good job guys! Thanks.
