Fantastic no-nonsense service center. The owner is a great guy and will always give you great advice. They are reasonably priced and will never try to rip you off. I’ve always gotten good advice on what my car needs and what’s unnecessary.

Akin is the best. He will never let you down. Come to him with respect and he will treat you like family. His prices are the best I’ve seen. Will never look for another mechanic as long as he’s around.

Went there for an ignition problem. Turns out battery needs changing. Excellent service. Quick, honest and friendly. Without hesitation I will choose them the next time my car has a problem. I would give them six stars if I could.
