Might be adequate for routine maintenance, but I strongly recommend avoiding for big jobs. After two misdiagnoses They replaced the engine. there was a fire under the hood three days after the car was picked up. This was caused by a short circuit in the alternator plug. First, my son was told the alternator bearings were bad and the heat had caused the fire. When we ran the car with no heat or vibration on the alternator we were told that the bearings were bad when they checked it. The discussion ended with the proprietor telling us that if we did not have 100% proof that the plug was damaged in his shop that he was under no obligation to work with us on the alternator replacement. After showing the car to another auto tech we were told that we had been overcharged for the engine replacement by about $1500.

Proffessional, organized, efficient. In and out quick. Best place to go if you need an baiid device even if you have to drive a little further. No traffic, good parking, easy access.

Very good pricing and work was done correctly and on time.

Don has always treated me fairly. If you tell him what is going on, he will look at the car and fix only what needs to be fixed and charges a fair price. He has even told me that he didn't think something should be done when it was clear to him that it would break down again soon. He will do the work if you really want him to, but tries to save you money and aggravation. He also will not fix something if it is not broken.

Only been there a few times, but right from the start Don and the gang treated me like one of the family. Always willing to go the extra mile to fix my car as fast as possible at the best price!

After checking several shops in the area, I was pleased to find that this company has ASE certified machanics that were able to repair my car in a timely manner and most of all it was fixed properly. The price they charged was well within my budget. I am glad that I have finally found an honest shop that has my interest in mind
