I used to go to them for my tires and certain services but everytime I would go the prices would change. I had recently went to get my tires checked and they told me I had to pay 30$ just to view the tires. Very disappointing because it was close to home.

I went there to change my front brake pads only knowing that my rotors are in good condition! This dude came to me and told me that this job would cost me almost 300$ just to change the 2 front pads because he has to put lubricant on the rotors and has to clean the rotors with this special machine all type of bs just to get a maximum cash from me, I was speechless I couldn t believe it but I was in a hurry to go to work for that reason I agree! Please don t go there the people are rude, very expensive, super unprofessional, don t know what they doing. They have this older Haitian man working on my car who does not know what the hell his doing he could not even open the back of my trunk! I hope everything goes well but WOULD NEVER GO BACK!!!Service: Brakes

This is by far the WORST place I ever been to. I took my car there had to return it about 4 times. Each time they were telling me something different. They say they will put it on the diagnostics machine. Ask to see the diagnostics machine. They do trail and error. They could not find the issue. Was a waste of my time and money. My last visit there, dropped my car off in the morning no one called me to give me a status of my car. When I called them gave me an excuse that they didn't know why I brought it in. Explain the issue again and they said give them 15mins. When I tried to call back they blocked my number. 5pm I still did not hear back from them. Rode up there and my car was just sitting there with the hood up and they were about to close. So they probably was going to tell me to leave my car overnight and find some bogus issue. Just like the last 3 times I was there. AVIOD THIS PLACE AT ALL COST....

Trust me, if I could give this place less than one star I would. These people are crooks, I went there for something as simple as an oil change and they lied about giving it to me. I'm not even gonna go into all the other times they scammed me. I wouldn't advise anyone to go there. If you're reading this and still choose to go, don't say you weren't warned.

Pablo, the manager, was really nice and took his time to explain what was wrong with the car. I felt he gave me an honest recommendation and a fair price for the fix to consider. Just pleasant to communicate with overall.

It s been 1 month and more that I tried to find someone or a place to fix my intermittent mechanical issue in my Nissan Altima and I already received a lot of fake diagnostic. FInally a friend told me about that place. I went there and it s was the best decision that I took. The mechanical guy and the manager was so professional. They fixed my issue. Thanks God no more pain.

I've only met 2 honest mechanic's shops in Miami...this is one of them. Priced fairly, take time to do job right but dont charge extra for it. Very competently run. Happy to never have to hunt down a good mechanic again!

Do not go to this place they will scam you. Charged me $140 after telling me $125 for doing literally nothing to my car. lied to me on multiple occasions about my car and his prices. Was no help to me at all. Please do not go here , I m trying to help you and your pockets. I literally paid the man $140 for doing NOTHING. He didn t even look at the car. He also lied to me about my car multiple times. Telling me the issues wasn t the transmission but It really was. Oh can t forget the best part...after I paid the man for no reason, my friends and I left a bad review because our experience was terrible, he threatened to tow my car if I didn t take the review down. YEP AFTER I PAID HIM. I definitely would give them a 0 star but I can t. Like I said do not go to this place even if it was your last option. They need to go out of business.

Great great place to go. Find me a funny honest oh, mechanic shop. The owner this is a wonderful person his name is Ron. There is an assistant manager better name of many great guy. They have top-notch mechanics. It's the only place I take my car. I tried all these little small mechanic shops for many many years. Because they wouldn't charge a lot of money. But they always made my car worse. It seems like they would fix one thing, and damaged another one, so I would go back. Please stay away from places like that, your throwing your money away. And you're car never gets fixed correctly. I recommend this place highly. You can really really trusting them. I never thought I was finally honest mechanic shop. David Lawrence signing out. I hope this message finds you all well. I will be back online tomorrow, with more reviews.

ATTENTION!!! becareful...I went here for an oil change just to help support this business & somehow mysteriously my vehicle started experiencing issues...David attempted over charge me in work that didn't need to be done...By the grace of God I went to a legitimate mechanic shop who fixed the issue & also explained to me that it was the most minor issue didn't cost me anywhere to the hundreds of dollars and TIME WASTING EFFORTS that they were trying to finesse me over here for...but hey go at your own discretion

Life saver, my tire blew out mid going to work and I went to Goodyear right across the street to give me a used one to make it through the week and they were being stingy and lazy. I drag my car here and got some good used tires in 1 hour time. Awesome job guys.Service: TiresService: Tires

Thank you for reading my review. Please take your business to a different mechanic. This mechanic sounds honest and caring, but they are not. They will take your money and not fix your car. They are not trustworthy.Services: Steering & suspension repair, Electrical, Auto engine diagnosticServices: Steering & suspension repair, Electrical, Auto engine diagnostic

Fair price. David is a honest guy for me. He once s reduced my price because he found a less expensive part such speak aloud about integrity.

My car was at the shop for over a week. Everyday David kept promising that it will be fix because he's short of mechanics. I kept waiting and coming back but never done. Finally he told me that he gas other jobs that worth lots more money than mine. Once he said that I took my keys and left.Services: Tires, Steering & suspension repair, BrakesServices: Tires, Steering & suspension repair, Brakes

I had all four of my brakes done and the emergency brake. (After they called and requested to add that)The warranty does state 12,000 miles or 1 year. I only use this truck to tow my boat so the warranty ran past the year. I've put 5000 miles on my truck and the brakes are the exact same way they were before I took it there. The cost of repair was $700. I called to see if they would honor the mileage aspect of the warranty and they didn't budge. I even explained that I don't drive this truck often and I've only put very few miles on it. I highly recommend to not use this establishment. They misdiagnosed my truck and cost me a lot of unnecessary money and I'm back to square one. Terrible business!

Please this mechanic pretends to care and be honest, but they are not willing to fix your car without hidden costs. Elderly people were taken advantage, but they do not have funds to file a lawsuit.Services: Electrical, Auto engine diagnosticServices: Electrical, Auto engine diagnostic

I wish I could give ZERO stars. My duty is to please ask that no one use this mechanic after this shop took advantage of elderly patrons. Please I am using this google review as a tool to warn you not to use this mechanic. Unfortunately, my grandparents did not use google reviews.Services: Steering & suspension repair, ElectricalServices: Steering & suspension repair, Electrical

Pretty knowledgeable about most cars. A quick turnaround within the time they mentioned during your estimate. I only wished they worked on hybrids.

Be aware of this place, despite the bad reviews some people already left, I went there expecting to be different, but as soon as I got there I felt something sketchy, they barely look at my car and automatically said it was 180 to change the brake pads, but ONLY the front ones, plus my car is a Kia Soul so nothing too complicated, I decided to look for other place, and they did the same work with ceramic pads only for 80 dollars, less than half of they wanted to charge me. At this place they are going to take advantage of you, and even worst if they notice you don t nothing about cars. Just save yourself time and money and don t go to that place.

Good service, timely and informative. But be VERY careful with their upselling tactics. They are not clear when they're offering additional services (some of which aren't necessary).

My daughter father took her car there to fix. It was over heating and they check everything, she has a bmw truck x3. The truck was fine until I took it to the dealership because of a light that came on, the person who looked at the truck said they can not fix the truck. 2 days later the truck over heat and her dad had taken the truck to this shop when he first got it for her. They fix the truck each time. So we will be taking it here when something goes wrong.

Please take your business to a different location. Do not trust anything they tell you. My grandparents were their client for one year and many thousands dollars later, their car is at another mechanic now.Service: ElectricalService: Electrical
