I am so pleased with my experience at Auto Repair Specialists. The entire staff was very friendly, honest and informative. They were able to repair my rear brakes and rotors in less than 90 minutes at a very reasonable price. I had shopped around, and ARS price was the best. Highly recommend this shop.
