fixing my car's problem
Having a busy schedule , it was hard to think that it will take a couple of days to solve my car's problem. Fortunaly it took only one day so I accomplished all my activities the next day. 👏

I wish I can give 0 stars
They did not fix anything but still charged me for a problem that wasn’t even the issue with my car. Will never go to or ever recommend this shop. Please don’t waste your time or money dealing with these scammers.

Oil change
Took my car in for an oil change. They did the work and performed a quick inspection. They found pending issues that I already knew about. They gave me a competitive quote. Great service. Will come back again.

Wrong service
I asked to have my brake fluid changed and bleeded. Instead a diagnostics was performed and i was charged $120 to let me know my brake pads are bad. I let the manager know and he said that this is reasonable.....
