Brought my car in for an oil change. Price was reasonable and service was great. Quick, friendly, knowledgeable, and honest. They let me know a few things I should keep an eye on, but didn t upsell me.

Went in for an oil change today, it was quick and reasonably priced. The owner found out a few issues with the car and explain pretty well about the next steps. Will definitely come back!

I brought my Honda 2014 in because my brakes and rotors needed a replacement and they offered a slightly cheaper price compared to the other quotes I found.Install went smooth, and they even offered to rotate my tires which I thought that was nice. However, that created vibration issues when I braked every time. Luckily I brought it back and and the re-rotated the tires to fix if, but the vibration did no go away completely.The reason why I m giving 2 stars though is because they did not seem to do a test drive with my car to break in the brake pads for me, nor inform me of how to do it, so now I have poorly installed brakes that I will likely have to drop another $700 to replace. On top of that, it seems like my wheel locks were missing after that inspection so my wheels can be stolen at any moment.They offer a cheap price and can get the job done but I would not recommend their service. They re a little dodgy, seem to cut corners, and ultimately don t care about making sure you get the best value out of your car

Two professional mechanics run this legitimate business. Highly recommended quality service. I was very pleased with the friendly, and courteous experience. Brought my c300 Benz in for an oil change, filter change and wiring issue and was satisfied with the work done and reasonably priced as well. I will definitely continue to bring my vehicle here. Thank you Sam and Thomas!

As the other reviews raved...an excellent shop of professional mechanics. Knowing almost nothing about cars, I was worried about taking my car in for the first time. They were honest, friendly, and did an excellent job. They described things in words I could understand and did not try to upsell me. I have no worries going there again for anything car related.

These guys are the best. I've worked them through 2 cars. An old 2003 BMW and a 2011 Lexus. They've been extremely transparent, kind, and flexible. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking.

First time getting oil change done in 35mins, which is amazing considering I used to spend 1.5-2 hrs for that in other places, even with appointments. This place is by appointment only so make sure you call. I called a day ahead. Owner was very friendly and not trying to sell any products, which is also rare standard checkups were included as well. Price was also very good. Highly recommend!

I recently changed my engine oil at a decent price here. The owner(*I m not sure whether he was a owner or a mechanic who works there tho) was super kind and did not try to up-sell anything. I really liked his attitude. The car runs really well now without any problem. Highly recommended!

Excellent customer service! They are so professional and helped me fixed my car w/ price weigh below the other 3 auto shops that I had asked the estimate for. Will definitely come back in the future!

Lixin (Sam) was very receptive on the phone and in person. He slotted me for an appointment and took my car in exactly on time. Prices are reasonable. The storefront is a bit tucked away behind other auto repair shops in a dead-end driveway so drive slowly.

Brought the car in because I heard a rattling upon starting it. Was a little over a $100 to do the diagnostic which required taking apart the engine to get to the source. Was worried the charge was going to be much more once they were finished but it wasn't. They also quoted me a price to do some other work on the car as well and it was about half the price I'd received from another shop.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Oil change
