I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for quality work on your vehicle at a reasonable price. Honest family run business. Very friendly and accommodating. You can drop off your car and go do errands if needed.
It seems as though a lot of people are commenting about how trustworthy and good the service was here, but I am going to tell you it was the complete opposite. I paid $900 to have something fixed and literally two days later the same problem reoccurred and when I had somebody else check it, they told me that it wasn’t actually done properly and parts were old. When I called back, I was not received very well and given attitude. I would definitely not recommend! And just as an update, I received a phone call from Linda, who didn’t like the review that I left. I was told that I could come and they would show me copies Of receipts for the parts that they ordered, Instead of actually fixing And rectifying the problem. The mechanical, I spoke to the next day after the problem Was very rude and didn’t offer to fix the problem .Definitely More worried about your reviews.
I can't say enough good things about this automotive repair shop! Darryl is incredibly knowledgeable and truly stood out to me with his honesty and integrity—qualities that are hard to find these days. They didn’t try to upsell unnecessary services and were upfront about what needed immediate attention versus what could wait. Not only did they fix my car quickly and efficiently, but they also gave me peace of mind knowing the work was done right. If you’re looking for a trustworthy shop that truly cares about their customers, I highly recommend this place. They’ve earned my business for life! -Matt
SHowed up @ 7am with a muffler that needed to be welded back on @ the flange to the engine. Competed the job @ a fair price Also, he was referred by a friend (who is also a mechanic)
Daryl is a good mechanic regarding knowledge and how-to of things. But based on some reoccuring things I'm passing on this guy for good now. Wanted him to change my air compressor and recharge the system since I trusted his skills. Just to change the compressor is quoted a 2 hr job at most places, he told me 2.5, no problem for me. Said it would be done by the end of the day. Well that didn't happen, and he later tells me it is the shop next to him that does the recharging, and they closed, so I would now have to come in next day, and wait who knows how long. He also asked for $300 for the ac swap. I didn't say anything and played it cool even he was clearly overcharging from the quoted length of work time needed. He also has a listed fee of $100/hour. So he is saying it takes more than the usual time to finish things than what other mechanics say, as well as still charges extra on top of his time. Not to mention you can get a much better hourly fee at most other privately owned shops. He doesn't seem to work that fast, and then you end up paying for that. I realized earlier in the day that things would likely not get done and had a chance to go elsewhere, but stayed respectfully true to the agreement. My mistake. For the recharge of the system he said it would be $180. Well the next day I took matters into my own hands to make sure I knew exactly what was going on with the shop next door, as I didn't really trust him with how grey things seemed regarding things being done next day based on the conversation, and how he didn't come through with finishing the job the day of. Called the next door shop and I explained the situation. The guy seemed no where near on the same page as Daryl. Said I was looking at minimum $320 for the recharge and would have to wait after the weekend for it to be done. Called Daryl to speak to him about it, who clearly has accountability issues. Gets sensitive on the phone with me saying I went around him and that he would have taken care of things, but that I had now messed things up. Well you didn't fully deliver earlier, and frankly didn't seem to care that all this got extended so much, and now you get sensitive when people take care of things on their own and call you out on mishaps. I told him there shouldn't be any issue to still take care of it since he said it was already arranged to be done. He continues to have no accountability and says we can't do things now since I messed things up by talking to the other shop. This guy is an absolute joker. His attitude is basically say yes or no to a job. Question anything and he gets downright sensitive. I ended up going elsewhere and got the job done for $140.
Came in hearing sounds and had no idea of what the actual problem was, went to another shop and they wanted more than double the price to change things that didn’t need to be done. Quality service. Very nice people. Would recommend to others for sure
Went for a vehicle inspection last month. Told I needed new front brakes. He mentioned he couldn't give me a vehicle inspection until my brakes were fixed. "They are practically touching metal" he said... Decided to go to another mechanic at a large car dealership. He advised me my brakes are good for at least another 6-8 months and they are not even close to "touching metal". Trying to swindle clients = 1 star in my books. Treat clients with honesty instead of upselling for a few extra bucks.
