Great auto repair shop in Hollywood with great prices. You won't come out disappointed from an auto repair that keeps it honest with the customer. I've had multiple services done at this location from A/C, Suspension, Tires, Oil Change, and Brake fluid change. Ask for Irvin, and he will help you out.
