Beware. My wife took her car in for an oil change. They told her that the vehicle needed over $ 1700 worth of repairs including new front brake pads which they said were completely worn. I took the vehicle to another repair shop to check the front brakes. There was nothing wrong with the pads at all or most of the repairs they insisted needing done. I checked the pads myself. They are crooks looking to lure suckers in for hundreds of dollars in unneeded repairs with a 19.99 oil change. Get the oil change. Forget any repairs they tell you about. Better still go somewhere else.

After trying a bunch of places I tried this place. Reviews were so so. I needed brakes and a thermostat. I had taken my Mazda to the dealership earlier in the day to get a full diagnostic on my vehicle. I knew brakes would be cheaper at a non dealership. Sean quoted me brakes labor and thermostat replacement for approximately $ 500. I said great. He even could get it done that day. He calls me at 515, they close at 6, to tell me my calipers are shot and won’t go back into place and that it was basically not drive able. Imagine my frustration when they tell me that. How do you inspect something then call me to tell me that you basically have to replace this now. He told me then my charge would be $ 1100. $ 1100!!! Bs. I get parts and labor but they did not know what they were talking about. they will tack in pointless charges if you let them. On top of all this they have to keep my car overnight and when I pick it up the next day they tell me my fan motor is shot. Why in the hell would you tell me after you have finished my car and not while you were working on it? The whole reason I got a thermostat was to stop the overheating. Now I am having to replace something that Mazda would have surely caught. Very sketchy people here. Be aware.

I had a coupon for a $ 19.99 oil change and decided to give this place a try since it’s near my house. I was a walk-​in although you can make appointments as well. The manager (Mark?) was very friendly and they started working on my car right away. My total wait time was about 40 minutes and I entertained myself reading magazines in their lobby. My total cost w/​disposal fees and tax was just under $ 24. I would recommend this place and would return here.
