I can't speak on any repairs but my wife and my experience was not good. Was told one thing and something different happened I went in previously and got estimates done, that process was great. Was shown in person what they recommended on my car and the corresponding prices. No pressure, just a laid back approach…

Great service, and all the positive reviews here are consistent with my experience. Leo wasn't out to upsell or price gouge me. He walked me through multiple options to repair my exhaust and let me decide what made the most sense. I grew up in an auto shop, and I can tell you that honest mechanics like this are hard to find these days. Highly recommend.

I can't speak on any repairs but my wife and my experience was not good. Was told one thing and something different happened I went in previously and got estimates done, that process was great. Was shown in person what they recommended on my car and the corresponding prices. No pressure, just a laid back approach to reach back out when ready My wife called and talked with someone there and had mentioned we only have a certain amount we can spend, they recommended we go in and make an appointment. We live 30 minutes away, she got in and they said they cannot do anything unless all of it was to be repaired. I understand needing to repair certain things relating to each other at the same time, but that definitely needs to be clarified before a long drive and time is wasted

I can’t recommend this shop enough! My appointment was at 4:00 p.m., and by 4:37 I was already back home. I went in expecting a much more expensive repair, but my flex pipe repair came to only $173.35—far less than I anticipated. Finding honest, fair pricing like that is refreshing. What really stood out, though, was the customer service. From the moment I walked through the door, I was greeted with genuine kindness and professionalism. The atmosphere was welcoming, everyone was pleasant, and you could immediately tell this is a business that truly values its customers. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Leo, and his integrity and professionalism were evident right away. He and his team made the entire experience smooth, efficient, and stress-free. Leo even complimented my 2014 Chevy Sonic, which made me smile! It’s rare to find a repair shop where you feel completely comfortable and confident that you’re being treated honestly. This was my first visit, but it certainly won’t be my last. If I ever need vehicle repairs again, this will be my first stop. Thank you, Leo and your team, for providing exceptional service, honest work, and a customer experience that exceeded every expectation. You’ve earned a loyal customer, and I’ll gladly recommend your shop to family and friends!

Though the person behind the desk was a very nice gentleman the tech that was about to work on my vehicle does not know common courtesy or customer service if it slapped them in his face. As soon as I mention something to the manager on site which was the gentleman behind the counter the instantly said we can just pull your car out then. instead of rectifying the situation they instantly turned me away and disregarded my concerns for the customer service. The technician was incredibly rude and had a bad attitude when all I asked was how something looked to them. Being concerned with my vehicle in my exhaust it was my right to ask and not be questioned with a bad attitude. I will not be using this location ever again and I hope many people will understand the insensitive rude comments from the technician. I also found out that this is not a corporate location is privately owned if you want a corporate location go down the road to the one next to 131 highway.
