Shop tried to pad repair bill. A/C compressor was bad but shop wanted to replace all A/C components for $2300. They said that was only way they would give a 3 year warranty on the work. Their price for the compressor unit alone was $550. I paid them $149 for the diagnosis and left. I purchased a compressor from Amazon for $180 and installed it myself. I paid another $149 to evac the refrigerant and vacuum/recharge rhe system after compressor replacement. So total cost for work was $330 plus diagnosis instead of shop quote of $2300. I do not recommend this shop.

Best mechanics I have ever had & I am in 60's. Trust them 100%, so honest. Never doubt anything they have said. Do impeccable work & fast like their name. When I move away soon if I need major work I would drive back to CA to have them fix my car. Do not hesitate to go there. Kindest & most honest people working there.Service: General repairs & maintenanceService: General repairs & maintenance

Fast Service Center is FANTASTIC!Can t thank our mutual friends at Master Brake & Muffler for recommending FAST to repair my 2010 GMC Terrain s Air Conditioning!Frankly, I must comfortable at any temperature at or below ZERO. When my AC failed I felt like Mr. Freeze must have felt whenever Batman messed with his suit.Now I m comfortable again, at a good price! However, I believe the better half would prefer it to have stayed broken.Thanks Gary and Team FastMarkServices: General repairs & maintenance, A/C installation & repair

Our family has been taking our cars to Fast for about 13 years. We had taken our cars to be repaired and maintained to Al Auto for 30+ years, and when Al and his wife Betty retired they recommended Fast. We have always had great service. Gary (the owner) usually calls us personally to discuss the needed repairs and cost. We trust them completely to be honest and fair with us. Gary tells us at each visit if he sees something that will need replacement soon, so we can prepare, and the expected cost. I have recommended Fast to many friends and they have also been happy with the service. I call Gary to ask him questions when we are purchasing or selling a car, he always is willing to give me his expertise. We would definitely recommend Fast Service Center. Ann & Jack Keck

Would never take my car anywhere else, and would recommend to anyone! Thank you Gary and team for always being so reliable.

***This is going to be a long review***My husband and I bought a car from Gary a few weeks ago and we love it, but a few days after we got it home it started to make a noise. I called Gary and he told me to bring it on over to his shop. Turns out that it needed a new camshaft and lifter, and it had failed pretty much a few days after we bought it. My husband was out of town for work for a few months and I was faced with the challenge of having to figure out what to do while juggling temporary single parenthood. Gary was AMAZING he repaired everything that the car needed (at his own cost by the way) and had it back to me in a little under a week. He was honest, understanding, and kind when I needed help. Not only did he repair what the main issue was, but he took care of a few more things he saw that needed fixing while he had it. I will be a loyal Fast Service Center customer from here on out! It's hard to find honest people today and these folks are wonderful! Thank you Gary!!!!Services: General repairs & maintenance, Engine repair, Oil change

When looking for an independent repair facility there are a couple of things to look for. Does their shop have enough capacity to handle your urgent needs? Are their technicians qualified to properly diagnose and competently repair it right the first time every time? And do they treat you with respect and place integrity at the forefront of their customer service standards? Fast Service Center checks all those marks and then some. Jorge and Gary are two guys that could be guest hosts on Car Talk. Nestled away on Metcalf St is one of the best IRP s I have had the pleasure of doing business with.

We have 1989 collector car which couldn't pass smog. From the start Jorge and Gary said that they wouldn't give up on the car. Where others gave up, they worked on it until it passed smog. Customer service is superb and they kept us informed . We will definitely return to Fast Service Center if other problems arise. Highly Recommended!Service: Exhaust

This is a family owned business that has integrity. Fast Service Center has been the best auto repair place I have found in years. They have done major and minor repairs for everyone in my family and I highly recommend them to everyone I know. My daughter had a major problem with her Honda Del Sol and they essentially restored it to better than when she had bought it. I had another problem with my car that my previous mechanic said was fixed but when it did not pass smog the guy at the smog station said something major was wrong with the area the previous guy had worked on. I talked to Gary (the owner of Fast Service Center) and they fixed it. It passed and runs like a race car! These guys are awesome. If you are looking to resolve any mechanical problem go to them first you won t be disappointed.

These guys go above and beyond! You can trust them to be fair and honest. They even picked up my car at work so they could fix it while I was working, and then brought it back to me.
