I had an OK experience. My only complaint was that they didn't call me to tell me what they found wrong. Also, I called for a ride, but an hour and a half later, I called my sister to take me there. Usually I don't have any complaints, so this experience was a disappointment.

Had noisy brakes that I thought were wearing down so I brought my car into to have them inspected. They were very polite and quick with getting it in and looked at. They told me I still have 50% left on them. Any mechanic could have said they were at the end of their lifespan and requested them to be replaced.…
