Great service and fast. I had to have front & back brakes, pads & rotors- the price was on the low end of googled estimated cost. And Big John is very friendly - a nice bonus

Stopped here after two other shops couldn’t do an alignment for me as a walk-in. they got me in and out in within an hour and the car was back to driving straight.

Came in to fix my tire and get my oil changed, the price and the customer service was phenomenal. It is a family run company and the owner John is such a sweet man who was very honest and helpful. So happy I found this place and would definitely recommend!
