Steve and all of the crew members at TLSS are very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Routine maintenance up to full custom builds, I trust they get the job complete or advise on another possible solution if needed.

Hosts one of the best car shows in Rochester by far! I have lots of fun every time I attend their car shows. I wish they lasted longer than 2 hours.

By far the best service, most professional, honest place I’ve been to. Comfortable brining my car to this shop I wish I had known earlier. Will definitely be my new spot.
