Last year we backed our bumper into a pole and it left a huge dent. No one wanted to deal with it and kept insisting that we would need a total bumper replacement until we asked Andre. His shop always seems busy but he was willing to punch out the dent for a reasonable price. When we picked it up, he also mentioned that the oil had been low so he topped it up gratis.He is a very straight forward, no nonsense guy who is honest and cares about his customers. It's very hard to find a mechanic like that these days!

A good trustworthy mechanic is nearly impossible to find these days. I m lucky to have found Andre. He has bailed me out of numerous situations fixing my BMW with little to no notice, and when I recently bought a used Toyota he dedicated a lot of time and energy to help get it up to speed quickly to make it a safe family car. Highly recommend.

Andre and his staff are responsive, professional, and did a fantastic job with the front brake repairs on my VW GTI. And even better is that Andre was able to save me about $400 off of what the dealership had quoted. He didn't talk to me like I'm a dumb girl who doesn't know anything about cars, huge bonus.Service: BrakesService: Brakes

I have taken my cars to Andre for many years now. He is always thorough and offers choices regarding the degree of repair whenever possible and safe. For example, the lever on my audi captain seat failed, and rather than replacing the entire unit, he gave me the option to swap buttons so I could still have the essential forward and back function (in lieu of up and down), which saved me tons of money! I done my suspension, brakes, bodywork, you name it. I trust Andre, he is always looking out for his customers, which is why so many reviewers have been with him for many years!!Services: Steering & suspension repair, Electrical, Auto engine diagnostic, Auto maintenance

Great service. Andre is awesome and really cares about what's going on with your car. I dropped my car off last Thursday and told him there was some strange screeching coming from the back of the car. He figured out the issues within like 3 hours gave me a call updated me & 4 days later I have my car back. I'm sure I would of had gotten my car back in 2 days had I of dropped it off earlier in the week.

A super honest and excellent local shop. Be prepared that they're often super busy (a good sign), but they're not going to take you for a ride and suggest a bunch of work that you may not actually need done. Also know that you're likely going to have to double park to drop off your car.

Andre is an upstanding knowledgeable guy who operates a great business. He fixed our BMW x3 after it an accident. The results were superb. Best of all, he took ample time to help me assess the most cost effective way to go about it. If you're shopping around, don't hesitate to go to Andre's.

I had gone to a different auto shop to have plugs and coils replaced due to my engine misfiring. The mechanic gave me my car back still misfiring so I took to Andre's thinking it was something much worse, it turns out one of the plugs was not clipped in all the way. Andre did not charge me. I think this is important to note because he could easily taken advantage of me and charged me for some unnecessary repair. 5/5 would recommend
