Took my car there and they said I had to replace new fuel pump then they gave me a quote and then called later when it was time for me to pick up and said no it’s gonna be a different price. And «by the way your fuel pump is gonna give. when I came to pick up car I needed to replace few other parts another and another. I ended up spending $ 1000 and they didn’t fix my car. Very Untrustworthy and they damage your car so you have to replace parts. Never again. They are very shady and dishonest. As you drive off they tell your gonna have to replace this part in a few days and then it fails. Would never ever recommend this place to even my worst enemy

I was leaking antifreeze I took it to Sam, he pointed out that he wasn’t sure what the problem was but saw rust and advised to get that fixed. He first quoted me 30 then 35 and then 40 $ to fix it. I came the next day and he said 50 $.
I was uneasy about the wavering quote. He wound up doing it for 40. And my car is still leaking antifreeze.
I ultimately felt like he could have been more informative on some things and just overall with my vehicle. I would not refer no one

This is the best shop I’ve been to. Sam and his crew are honest and give the best prices. I travel 60 miles to see him when there’s a problem with my car. I won’t go to anyone else!

For the past 5 years, I’ve been coming here to have my car serviced. Forget the dealership – Sam will get the job done correctly and at a more reasonable price. Like some of the other reviewers have said, Sam will always give you the bottom line of what needs to be done to your car. He’s flexible too – I’m picky with my parts so I’ll bring in my own and he’ll just charge me for labor. Its hard to find a trustworthy and reliable car guy, but I’m lucky to have found one.

This shop is definitely the first place I call right after I talk to the dealership to verify how much of a rip off the dealership for anything non-warranty.
My family has brought a variety of cars here as follows:
’07 Acura TL-S 6 speed
’06 BMW 330i 6 speed
’04 Lexus IS300
’98 Toyota Avalon
’98 Acura 2.3 CL
Old Lexus LS430
I’ve always had this shop look at the problem, tell me the honest truth, tell me how much it would cost to fix, and most importantly how much money I save by going through him compared to the dealership. As the consumer, you’re always able to compare prices and you should call the dealership to verify how much they would charge for the same work and then you’d never go back to them!!! I’ve had the simple oil change and tire rotation to the complicated transmission and catalytic converter issues solved by this shop over the years. I’ve always been happy with the work and my family has been impressed with the quality of work and savings.

This shop here is a hidden gem.
He just fixed my co workers car for ½ the price she got a quote elsewhere… 2,000.00 quote, she paid 1,000 here and the owner even added extra services! Best of all, it took 1 day to fix compared to 7 days as quoted with the 2,000 mechanic.
