Miguel has to be one of the most honest mechanics I've encountered in the years I've been going to shops. They do great work and they have quick service.

Destroyed my vehicle after I asked for a solenoid replacement on my last vehicle, charge me 800 for the job that lasted me 2 days the most, never refunded even anything although they singlehandedly destroyed it, I definitely should have sued them. If you were thinking if you should bring it in here, heres a wake up call, don t. Even if it s the Last option for a while, wait it out. Don t relive my mistake. Wish I can give a 0/5 stars, garbage place.

I took my truck in October 2021 for a transmission repair. They charged me $1,400 and they only gave me a 3 month warranty and after picking it up it was fine but after a month the transmission stopped working again.I took it back and then they have the audacity to tell me it has no warranty on it when they said it had a 3 month warranty. They told me I had to get a new transmission that would cost me $2,200 in order for it to be fixed and from how needy I was for transportation I accepted and they took almost 2 months to fix the transmission and I was left with no car I have two kids that have appointments and I had to reschedule everything for my kids just to wait on my car to get fixed. Turns out I call them after a month and told them i Need to pick it up and they told me they returned the transmission and that it wasn t fixed after all this time. Now I have to pay $650 for labor that they never did and storage fees for a car that does not work. PLEASE do not come here. The owner is very disrespectful and very aggressive. when all I wanted to do is make a deal with him and get my truck back and he refused to give it back to me.VERY UNPROFESSIONAL.Service: Transmission

Miguel is a perfectionist, also reasonable with prices and has the best service you need. You will not regret bringing your vehicle here.The shop is very clean, and organized for the work needed. Toemy and Mona will run the office, they will treat you with respect and tend to your vehicle needs.I highly recommend this shop. I've had 3 of my vehicles serviced here. They're also great with my Benz.

Went there to get my brakes and rotors replace. After getting them replaced my car started squeaking when I braked. I asked them to fix it but all they wanted to do was keep replacing the brakes and rotors which obviously weren't the problem if you've replaced them numerous times and the problem still persist. The owner actually bs me the second time I went in to try to resolve the problem. He told me that I had a cracked rotor and that was the problem. The issue here is that when I had my brakes and rotors installed by them I asked them to check all the rotors then and if any needed to be replace due so. If my rotor was cracked or needed replacement it would have gotten done at that time. Nevertheless, I paid for the repair hoping it would solve the issue and it didnt. The final time I tried to resolve the problem, the owner became very disrespectful telling at me over the phone trying to blame me for the defect claiming he has been doing this every day for over 20 years and he has never had this problem so it must be the way I drive. He insisted that I'm driving fast and them slamming on my brakes to stop. That is completely idiotic and false.After that he rudely hung up on me. I wash my hands with this shop and wouldn't recommend it to anyone. There are better quality shops around for cheaper prices.They also charge you a $45 a day storage fee. They don't store your car at all anywhere. They park it outside on the street which is public property owned by the city so how the heck do they have the nerve to charge a storage fee? The only thing being stored are you keys.
