This is the most honest, reputable auto repair shop I've been to. Another business told me that I needed to replace my brakes and rotors =$569 I brought my car to Sean. He checked my brakes and I don't even need pads. He said there is about a year of life left on them. I am so glad to have found a reputable repair shop. I will never go anywhere else.

Don’t even bother looking or searching anywhere else. This is the one and only place to take your car or truck. Honest and reasonable to deal with and work was stellar. To me honesty gets my loyalty and we all know the saying a good reliable shop is hard to find. Well you’ve found one here.

Great mechanic! They came highly recommended and did not disappoint. Changed my oil, replaced brake pads, and repaired mistakes made by a local chain that will go nameless, all for a VERY reasonable price. Had to schedule a week out but I would gladly wait 2 weeks for a good, honest mechanic and that's what these guys are.
