Avoid at all costs! Especially if you are a woman because they will rip you off like there’s no tomorrow. Save yourself the hassle and potential small claims court trip.
They called me to pick my car up after I took it to get the speedometer fixed and so I paid and left. I was already a bit upset because they had it for a week before telling me they needed to replace the battery to work on it. I agreed even though I would have done it myself to save that marked up price. Then they kept it for another two weeks during which they said they were waiting for a part. On my way home from the shop the speedometer stopped working again. I called to ask about it and they said they couldn’t find the part. So they never fixed it but charged me over $ 100 just to look at the car and let me leave with it still broken.
They also replaced my Mom’s transmission, which cost a fortune, but a month later it messed up again. They said that it was the transmission again. So apparently they put a defective transmission into her car or something and expected her to pay twice to fix the same problem. I wasn’t aware of this when I went to the shop or I’d have avoided it.

Took my car here for an oil change and tire rotation. I got a phonecall from them and the guy told me that my tires were fine and that they really didn’t need to be rotated. I was so impressed and appreciated their honesty, whereas I am sure other places would have rotated my tires anyway just to get that extra income. I also like it’s a family owned business and not a chain, it’s always nice to give support locally.
