Robert is very knowledgeable, honest, and incredibly kind. I have a 2002 Discovery with some tricky issues that were preventing it from passing the smog test. I don’t think there’s another shop that would have understood the problem. Of course, the dealer knew what was going on, but I was told either to make major…

Brought my Ineos Grenadier here and Tyler and the team went above and beyond. There’s a reason they’ve been in business for so long and it’s because they care about their customers. Their customer service is unmatched. It’s refreshing and relieving to know what I found my preferred auto shop.

I am so happy I found this place! They take pride in their work and did a great job on my 11 year old Range Rover! The dealer had quoted prices that were astronomical but Cerrone did the work for much much less!

I brought the car in to inspect the brakes and they diagnosed the problem and fixed it. I’ve had squeaky brakes for some time and no one was able to correctly diagnose the problem. They also diagnosed some other issues with the car. Great shop. Very professional

Robert is very knowledgeable, honest, and incredibly kind. I have a 2002 Discovery with some tricky issues that were preventing it from passing the smog test. I don’t think there’s another shop that would have understood the problem. Of course, the dealer knew what was going on, but I was told either to make major repairs or simply abandon the car. With Robert, I wasn’t afraid to tell what I understood about the issue. Not only did he confirm my understanding, but he also instructed me on what I needed to do to get the car ready. He made a few fixes and I followed his instructions. I passed the smog test without having to spend a huge amount of money replacing parts that weren’t necessary for this very old car that I drive very little but am not ready to let go of. Thanks a million to Robert and all of Cerrone’s staff!

Thank you Trevor for your trust in us! It was a pleasure getting to work on your Ineos Grenadier! We were all pleasantly impressed with the build quality of that Rig! We hope to see more of them come into our shop. We love the BMW engine Platform it has in it that we are very familiar with and the Frame and suspension was extremely well built and High quality. Thanks again we really appreciate your business!
