The service here is top tier. Friendly, professional, transparent, and all work was documented. No surprises! Photos of everything sent to my phone clearly explained the issues with my car and had me feeling completely in the loop and confident with the repairs. Warranties available too. Highly recommend this shop to anyone who is looking for a straightforward and honest experience.

Brian is super competent and helpful - great customer service. Charging for initial inspection in full when I paid ~ $1400 for repairs + $170 for oil change is not optimal - should give at least some credit if not full credit to the final bill. Also, adding a full charge for credit card fee (3%) does not seem competitive. So, price is a little high but still a good experience.

Hi Kristen, Thank you for the 5 stars and for mentioning Brian in your review!! He’ll appreciate it. I’m glad the service felt helpful, and I also appreciate your candid notes on pricing. Regarding the inspection, that charge reflects the diagnostic testing, photos, and documentation our technician completes to build an accurate repair plan. That said, I’m going to have Brian take another look at the actual time spent on your vehicle’s diagnosis so we can see if there’s an opportunity to adjust or refund a portion of that cost. We always will be fair and transparent in situations like this, and your feedback helps us keep improving! On payment: the 3% card processing fee is a pass-through charge. We do still offer a few options to help avoid the pass through fee. I hope we communicated that but I will make sure that Brian explains that fairly early in the conversation. We’ll do a better job laying that out upfront. Thanks again for the feedback, it genuinely helps us improve. We plan to review your invoice line by line and see what we can do to help with a future credit!

My entire experience was nothing short of amazing. Not that I would wish car issues for anyone, but if you are experiencing anything, this is the place to go. From the moment my car started making a weird noise, they made time to inspect it, called a car to take me back and by the end of the day Brian did a full breakdown with me about everything that was going on. He highlighted the more critical issues and explained why they were important to address. The whole process was quick, the staff was knowledgeable and approachable. What I appreciated the most was the care they put into providing great service for my car and the respect they have for their clients, unfortunately that doesnt always happen at other repair shops. The staff here ended up making a tough situation so much easier and its going to be my go to spot from now on.

So I came here last minute - I thought my alternator was failing and I needed to get it check before the holidays. Luckily, they managed to take a look. I really wasn't looking to spend alot besides the alternator being fixed, but Brian was SO helpful in helping me with the diagnostic as well as trying to figure out what was wrong. Ultimately, I did not get any work done as I had no problems, thanks to the tech (I think Miguel) who worked on it. Brian was so helpful and understanding my concerns, and even helped with the diagnostic charges and a Lyft ride from my work to the shop. Overall, I would totally go back to them again. They gave great customer service, listened to my concerns and didn't try to pull a fast one. :) Thanks again!
