On 7/30/2025 Dwayne Gitagia had this to say:
I can’t say enough about the phenomenal experience I had at this mechanic shop, where the team’s warmth, expertise, and dedication left me genuinely impressed! My Sprinter van was struggling in limp mode, turning what should’ve been a smooth journey into a stressful ordeal. From the moment I rolled in, the staff welcomed me with open hearts and an unwavering commitment to getting my van back on track. For three full days, they poured their expertise into diagnosing the issue, tirelessly swapping out multiple worn-out parts with precision and care—all at a price that felt refreshingly fair. Though the tricky limp mode proved stubborn, their relentless effort and transparent communication made it clear they were in my corner. This wasn’t just a repair job; it was a masterclass in customer service and automotive passion. Finding a shop this trustworthy and skilled is like striking gold, and I enthusiastically recommend them to anyone whose vehicle needs some TLC. If you’re looking for mechanics who treat your ride like their own, this is the place to go!
