What Our Clients Are Saying

My usual mechanic is booked up for months at a time. My dad recommended this place and I was able to get my car repaired in a few hours. The engine oil sensor was leaking badly and they were able to replace it. For the price that I paid I felt that it was very fair. I will be coming back if I have any other issues with my car."
