Mario did a great job helping me. The owner, he does not take care off the customer after the sale. Weigh your options. At least one great mechanic but no service after the sale.

Response from the owner · a week ago

Thank you for your feedback, Dr. Don. We're glad to hear that Mario provided you with a positive experience, and we'll be sure to share your kind words with him. We're disappointed to learn that your overall impression of our business has changed, considering Mario is the owner. Providing excellent service is important to us, both during and after a repair, and we take concerns about the customer experience seriously. We appreciate your business and the opportunity you gave us to work on your vehicle. If there's anything we can do to get your review back to 5 stars, please ask for Randy and mention this review.
