Amazing service, kind people. and very good at communication. I went in for an inspection because I was hearing a weird noise on my brakes. Once my $80 inspection was done, they had told me that I had multiple problems with the car and they even provided pictures. Once they started working on my car and I went back to check on it, they had told me they found more problems with it, but they also told me that it was on them, so I wouldn’t have to pay forThe The Very kind of them Not at 10 service, would definitely recommend, and I am definitely going back if I need anything else worked on my car.

Shady as all heck! Might do a good job with the Emissions testing but I wouldn’t want anything else repaired there. Nothing but a run around.

Response from the owner · 5 days ago

Hi Dave, we're sorry to hear about your concerns. However, we'd like to clarify that Top Gear Auto Care does not offer emissions testing, so there may be some confusion regarding our business. We take pride in providing honest, professional service and treating every customer with respect. If you've had an experience with our shop, we welcome you to contact us directly so we can better understand and address your concerns. Thank you.
