I was referred here by a co-worker's friend and I am glad they told me about this place. I called and talked to Rob who is exceptionally friendly and accommodating and I told him my brakes were grinding and that I needed an oil change. He gave me a rough estimate of approx. $35 for the oil change and possibly up to $300 for new brakes, but obviously couldn't quote me a definitive price until they looked at my car. I dropped my car off on Friday night and utilized their after hours drop off which is really handy. They started working on my car early Saturday morning and called me around 10:30am to give me the news. I needed completely new rear brakes as it was metal on metal, but the front ones were fine and it would be a total of $698 including the oil change. So it was a lot more than I anticipated, but I guess the work needed to be done. I paid over the phone using my credit card and the Yelp coupon and then when the finished my car on Saturday afternoon, they placed the keys in the vehicle so that I could come and get it Saturday evening after they had already closed. This was all very convenient for me. Sorry I never met Rob in person, but he is a very delightful person. The work appears to be done completely and thoroughly (not like I can see the brakes, but they feel nice when I stop my car). The after hours service is very helpful and the location is great too. The only thing on the somewhat negative side is just that it was waaay more than I anticipated, but I guess that's the going rate for rear brake repairs. I would definitely go there again. Thanks!
Hi Alexandra, It is so nice to hear about your experience at our auto repair shop. We started that night drop off service for our auto repair clients just so you don't have to be inconvenienced during the day time. I am happy that you took advantage of that!The reason that the price was a little higher than quoted was that we had to replace the rear brake rotors instead of just resurfacing them. Normally, you might be able to resurface brake rotors about 3-4 times before they need to be replaced but once they go metal to metal the brakes pads will damage the rotors enough to where they need to be replaced.We hope to help you in the future for your automotive repair needs!! (and a little side note... Rob said thank you and he is a "delightful person". You brought a smile to his face with that!!) :)Owner - Eric Sevim - aplusjapaneseautorepair.…
