Thank you Edmond for always providing excellent service, for being flexible and for the coffee and cookies. I highly recommend this place! Good prices, great and fast service. I always feel very welcomed by the team and my car is in perfect shape once they re done.

The best mechanics you will ever find are here at this shop. My husband and I went to them for years. Prior to our move to another city I did a full inspection with Ed and he showed me all of the recommendations for my car. I trust them with all my questions about my car. The guys at the shop are extremely kind and treat me like family. Highly recommend them for anyone looking for a trustworthy mechanic.

I brought in my 1996 Honda Accord that was leaking coolant from a broken hose. These guys had me back on the road quick at an adorable price they also threw in a couple small fixes in my car feee of charge. Great customer service. I will be back and will definitely recommend to family and friends.

The worst experience ever after two days they fixed my car a sound came out I went back he say what do you expect of a car have 6 cylinder! but I knew the sound was new and there s something wrong I went to another mechanic he change the same part I change with this guys and he show me they took the original parts from my car and they put another fake part and they tried to make it work on my car that s why was a sound. UNPROFESSIONALPS. If you love your car this not the place

Well, they fixed my car for smog at what seems like a good price. But be aware he tried saying that I needed an oil change and if you look at my other reviews I just recently got one from Jiffy Lube. There was less than 100 miles on the oil life. All in all i think if you go there and only get what you need you'll be ok. Just watch out for the add on's.

One of the unfortunate parts about moving to the valley was finding a new mechanic. I ve been told that the three things you probably shouldn't replace if you find a good one is your hair dresser, your lawyer and your mechanic. Well, I couldn't make the 1hr commute to my mechanic anymore. I did it for awhile but it was too problematic. So wifey did some research and found these guys. After several trips with my jeep and the wife's VW, I gotta say, I've found my new favorite.Edmond and Arman are a couple of class acts that really know their stuff. Ladies - you know how you go to the mechanic and they ignore you and talk to the man? I know this is a thing because it pisses off the wife and I feel awkward because I probably know less than she does. These guys don't do that. They treat you like family - almost to an embarrassing degree. I've never been there without being offered coffee, tea or water. On occasion, they've offered up part of their lunch as well as cookies from their home country that I'm sure weren't cheap to buy/import. They're both incredibly giving and very gracious. Even to the point of helping back you out of their driveway when you leave. Just class acts.When it comes to their work, I can't complain. They come cheaper than my previous mechanics and have correctly diagnoses past issues that my last mechanic either messed up or missed completely. But when they point it out, they do it with class as to not throw anyone under the bus. (The sort of people you wished you worked with instead of that Peggy gal by the fax machine - she always throws people under the bus!)My wife's last trip was to fix a seal. They had to drop the gas tank and, they didn't need to, but they changed a few other seals as a preventative measure. They're stance is, if you're spending the $400-$900 to drop a transmission, lift out the engine, or the fuel tank, why not replace the *other* $20 seal while you have access to it?! They think ahead to save their customers money down the line. I appreciate that.They also noticed some foam coming out of the AC unit so they vacuumed it out, had a friend detail the car as well as a few other things. I was blown away. The price was more than reasonable and my wife and I were both elated.BUT - they don't spend your money willy-nilly. I've brought my Jeep in for this, that and the other thing. They'll do one thing but tell me not to waste money on the other. They agree it needs to be done, but not right then and there. They will tell you when to save your money and when to pull the trigger. Which is comforting for someone who knows nothing about mechanic-ing.If you're looking for a new mechanic - quit looking and give these guys a try. They're amazing. Couldn't be happier - A+++

I was reffered here by a few other people and I needed an oil change done plus I had a few other concerns. Very easy to talk about issues or concerns and he even took me under the car to show me what had done/replaced. Will definitely go back for all my car needs.

Saved my bacon and did it for 30% less than the other guys were quoting. Also, answered my questions with understanding and was very quick. I feel theyre honest and hard working. What more do you need?
