Customer Reviews
Brian is very knowledgeable, he is super friendly and locally grown. He is a great mechanic, and will not try to sell you what you don't need. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Great place, they fix your stuff right, but bring cash. If you want a fancy place goto those chain stores where they have a nice waiting room but you will get ripped off.
I've been using Brian has my mechanic for over 20 years. He is an excellent mechanic and was able to identify problems over the years that even the dealership couldn't resolve. He's honest also which is a big plus. Don't judge the place by its appearance though. Not the slickest looking garage.
I took my jeep grand Cherokee to them. I had purchased all the parts to fix my steering. I had Peter as the mechanic. He had my jeep grand Cherokee for 2 and a half days to do repairs. First told me it would only take 8 hours to remove and install new parts. After having my vehicle till Saturday morning, I got it back and drove it roughly 28 miles and the whole steering started shaking badly. I was able to limp it home. Went on Sunday to firestone automotive for a front end alignment. While doing the alignment the mechanic stated that my adjustment bar for the steering wheel is seized on. It was brand new!!! I’ve reached out to Peter on his personal cell phone to let him know and to get him to fix it right on his dime or refund me half of the 400.00 I paid for labor. To this day he won’t respond to my text. So now I’m going to have to purchase the parts again and install them myself. He also didn’t install the stabilizer links even after saying he had new bolts. I ordered the bolts so I can install them myself also. The ball joints I purchased didn’t get install either. I told him to install everything seeing he’s had my jeep for so long. Don’t use them and run if you are even thinking about using them!!! Don’t even use them to get vehicle inspections. Peter don’t know what he’s doing as a mechanic!!!! Shameful to say he is a mechanic.
Will lie straight to your face about havin a evap sensor on a check engine light
Said he fixed the evap leak in my car so it can be inspected. But lied. Reset the computer to get a sticker on it. Check engine light came on again so a friend of mine who is a mechanic took a look and found it not done. Bear in mind I got this car from Brian himself. He said "nothings wrong with it. It has no issues" only for an error of problems to come up not even a week later. Don't trust this man. REPSONCE You mean how you said nothing was wrong with the breaks only to find out the rear rotors were so rusted out the car did stop? Or how you said nothing was wrong with the abs sensors only for me to have to replace them. Or how when the check engine light came on for the evap leak you claimed nothing was wrong. In front of said man who yes b9ught the car. Or let's talk about how you were willing to put a sticker on a car with bad rotors and an evap leak. Like you just admitted in your reponce that is what you did. You said to "bring it back to fix anything that comes up" only for you to NOT do that. And oh BTW I already know you put one on his car with an evap leak as well. You are shady and a liar. If that weren't true you would've kept your word about the car. Oh and BTW who fo you think recommended YOU to him? When he was having issues with Joe up the road take a wild quess. Oh and you I'd not put 50$ in it it was on E you liar. Funny how you can answer a review but not your phone
