A/C & Other Repairs
Omar and James are awesome! James listened patiently as I explained the concerns I had with my 2013 KIA. I was terrified the car would need a whole new A/C system and was happy to hear it was just a broken hose that needed to be repaired. They also did my brakes and changed the oil. These guys even stayed past closing to make sure I had my car back for the weekend.

Sometimes, when ownership changes at an auto shop we’ve learned to trust we worry that the service or good pricing wont be the same. I can tell you that this is not the case at this shop. The service is excellent and Omar is the best lead auto technician, his team is awesome, and I will always take my car to them for any servicing needs.

A/C works perfect and in time for summer and car runs great! Thank you 🙏🏼!!!!

It is gratifying to hear about your positive experience at our shop. We appreciate your recognition of Omar and James, who are dedicated to providing excellent service to our customers. Understanding your concerns about your vehicle, and promptly addressing them, is what we strive for. It is also wonderful to know that your A/C is functioning well, just in time for summer. Your business and trust in us for your vehicle needs are genuinely valued.
