Carlos s is a fantastic shop. They are honest and thorough. I had an issue with the steering wheel and they found the problem and then researched that Hyundai had a recall on the part. Bill wrote up a diagnostic report to give to Hyundai to ensure that it was covered!! Love it here.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Oil changeServices: General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Oil change

I went to this place to get an alignment. A guy came up to me so rude asking me for a mask. What??????? who the heck is requiring mask at this point nobody. learn how to be professional with your business and be polite when you approach your customers that s how you get pay no customers no pay . You better learn that. I would never recommend this place to nobody Service: General repairs & maintenance

Stopped by as a possible new first time customer inquiring about a replacement engine for my truck. Two mechanics couldn t find the owner. Not a big deal it was lunchtime but later when I called and told Bill I stopped by and he wasn t available it seemed to start things off wrong. As if he was questioning if I really did stop by, even asking, today, what time. I informed him when.Anyway, long story short by the end of the conversation after trying to ask multiple questions at probably a hectic pace, which further upset Bill thus chastising me for not letting him talk. I m cool with everything that happened I just won t give business to someone who doesn t have patience with their clients who know little about their trade. Hence the reason for seeking professional help.I m a contractor and I ve never treated a potential client with the sarcastic and belittling behavior that Bill treated me with.I m very happy he showed his true colors before I had work done. Who knows maybe it was just bad communication on my part, but in my business you cut potential clients a lot of slack.I m sure a competitor will be glad to do the work.

Had my car serviced there yesterday. They recommended new tires, since the old ones where dry and inflexible. It made a great difference in the handling, especially in the rain. Also, they waived the labor for polishing the headlight lenses because of the inferior job done on them last March(lenses should stay clear 2-3 years). They really care about good service. Highly recommended.

our family has been using Carlos for years. Always very honest, even told me when a car wasn't worth fixing because the car's worth was less then the repair.Other places would have just done the repair.

Got a flat tire (drove over a small tool that stabbed a tire) driving right near them. They helped us get the van to their shop and fixed within 2 hours while we waited.
