Brought in a car for a pre-purchase inspection. Andy, Jason and James all took time to explain in detail the inspection results and what one could expect from owning this car. I am thinking seriously about changing who maintains my car. Was impressed. PS the shop was spotless.

Ace is very professional, and quick to get me in. They are honest, and great at listening to what the customer wants. Their virtual inspection report is fantastic at letting you know what needs to be done now or what can wait and includes pictures. Prices are reasonable and I’ve always had quality work. 100% recommend.
