So disappointed because the owner seemed to be honest and transparent. My car wouldn t turn on and this shop was right down the road so I decided to give them a call. Owner came to jumpstart my vehicle and took it. He said a lot of issues came up when he ran the diagnostic on my vehicle but said the primary issue was the airmass flow filter. He said it would get replaced with an oem part (even called a couple dealership service departments to see if they had the piece in stock). We agreed to leave my vehicle while the part was picked up at dealership service center and replaced. I went to pick up the vehicle and was if informed that everything was working great. A week later, car didn t turn on again. The vehicle at that point was taken to get serviced at the Nissan service center at dealership. They ran the diagnostic report and turns out he used and after market part that was continuing to cause issues. He never mentioned using the after market part and in fact made it seem like an oem was used for the replacement. So essentially I was charged $500 for a job that wasn t done well, he wasn t transparent about the use of an aftermarket piece, and now have to pay for an actual oem replacement at the nissan service center.

I had my car towed to this shop after it wouldn't start. Rene, the owner, had the car up and running by the next day. He did an incredibly throughout job at a extremely fair price. I highly recommend this shop.Services: Transmission, Air & cabin filter replacement, Electrical, Auto maintenanceServices: Transmission, Air & cabin filter replacement, Electrical, Auto maintenance

BEWARE! The owner will gaslight you into thinking hes helping you, showing you everything hes doing , He will have you pay for things that seem urgent and tell you that your car wont run if you dont do the services he s suggesting, he checks a box automatically and asks you to sign, waving your rights to your old parts! He doesnt even show you what he changed or how damaged your old parts were, he does the work incorrectly making you come back and saying its another problem and he continues to do the work incorrectly until he feels like you ve had enough. My girlfriend got a second opinion and they said that the mechanic provided unnecessary services. This man should be reported for gaslighting his customers to get unnecessary services and automatically waving your rights to your old parts.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Brakes

I called on the phone to get quote on brakes. They quoted me almost 600.00 , front and rear. But my brakes were only 60.00 per axel.I brought my truck in for another quote and after hearing the shock price , I decided to never do business with them . Go to lawandos. Foster and kimball in chicago. Cheaper prices, better service, and mechanics you can trust.

I come here because it s a neighborhood business and I like to support local, but I recently came in for an oil change and left with a bill of almost $200 labor for oil change should not be $120 dollars. Be cautious and ask for price upfront if you come here.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Oil changeServices: General repairs & maintenance, Oil change

Rene is knowledgeable and knows what he's doing. I've lived in the area for about a year now and needed a Auto Tech (mechanic) I could trust that was close by. They have fixed two big issues on my truck so far and informed me of everything else that I need to have fixed before they get extremely bad. They are very fast and fix it right the first time I'd definitely recommend this spot for anyone with vehicle issues. So far I had rear brakes, calipers and rotors done. And today fuel pump, fuel filter and had it towed there from a downtown garage. For the work that was done price was completely fair.

Horrible experience. My sister went to this location for a tire repair- nail in her tire. Simple right? Wrong! they replaced her new tires (Michelin)with two old tires. Now she has tire issues which they denied they took her tires. On top of that they left the wheel lug nuts loose. Now there are damage and have to be replaced.

Ren� gives you the best advice and a very honest and fare estimate of the work that your car requires.You can have checked every oil or liquid and refill and he doesn't even tell you.Great service, been there for 10 years and never disappointed.

I have a Nissan Maxima 2000 which needed 2 rear and 2 fronts brakes, 2 front calipers and all two front and two rear rotors to be replaced. I bought the parts from the rockauto.com everything for $179.So I called this auto place and the manager gave total estimate of $300 saying the total work would take 3 hours of work. $300 for brake job sounded alot and I decided not to go there and another shop around progressive auto fix my brakes for $200 labor.
