“It is so hard to find a reliable and trustworthy mechanic these days! The owner is incredibly kind and even stayed a few minutes after closing to make sure my car was able to be seen on a Saturday afternoon. He took extra caution to make sure my Honda was parked inside following the influx of catalytic converter theft in the area. He quoted me a price 1/3 of what Honda planned to charge me- parts included! He was conservative with his diagnosis of the my vehicle. I'm happy to have a mechanic in the area I can trust with fair prices and good work!”

I say hello, pay them and say have a great day! Just about every time the response is a blank stare or a grumble. Lol. Oh well, I go for the low price of gas and recommend for that reason.”
