Customer Reviews
For those saying they’re a bit gruff, well yeah. But try to get past that. If you do, you’ll find they’re great mechanics and inexpensive. I go there a lot with my kids’ junkie cars. I find them to be honorable.
Car inspection took no more than 15 minutes and friendly staff.
I recently had my car inspected and serviced, and I’m very impressed with the experience. The inspection was thorough, and the maintenance on the engine was handled with great care . I especially want to highlight George, the inspector—he went above and beyond to ensure everything was done properly. His professionalism, knowledge, and dedication made the process smooth and reassuring. I highly recommend their service and truly appreciate the excellent work.
Not only are the guys here wicked nice, but they got my inspection done super fast! I left here laughing with them. Definitely recommend! 😇
Had state inspection and they identified an issue that was absolutely critical to get fixed. They were polite, professional, and kind, and once I had the issue repaired my vehicle was quickly seen and passed. Special thanks to George for his work today and would absolutely recommend in future.
They will fix your car without your consent, then give you the bill. Nope!
Avoid having your car serviced at the station. It’s fine for inspections, but they will overcharge you not in their hourly fee but they highly exaggerate the amount of time they claim it takes to fix things and put huge markups on non-OEM parts. Their specialty is preying on people that don’t pass inspections and inflate the costs to repair and pass. Often even lying about what needs to be repaired in order to pass inspection.
I went to them because this splash guard was dragging the ground. The guy put it on the lift and pulled the splash guard off and said he couldn't tack it back up. Then he charged me $90.00 for taking the literally, one minute, to pull it off. He charged me a full hour of labor and said that was their policy for any car entering their garage. Now it doesn't cost $90 for an oil change? Why this? I won't be going back.
