On 3/15/2025 Jenny K. had this to say:
When I called to see if they had any availability time for me to drop off my car they were very friendly and professional. They made me feel confident that I'm leaving my car with someone who knows what they're doing. I was called with an estimate and I was happy with the price. It got done in a reasonable amount of time and they even took the payment over the phone since I was at work and was able to pick the car up after work. I would definitely come back.

On 9/16/2023 Jorge P. had this to say:
I went in and they quickly took care of me I did some minor work and the amount they charged me was not bad at all I'll recommend to come here instead of the LOVES up the street.
