I can not believe the treatment that I got from this owner Dave I had my transmission oil changed by another mechanic and my transmission light came on and they told me to take it to a transmission shop and I told Dave this and he said he didn't want to work on my car that's horrible customer service if u ask me

Beware after picking my car up, Dave left my hood open I did not notice for 2 days he put my life at risk, also when my Ins Co would not cover the cost he said to me: "I'm not making any money on this I through caring". He would not help me replace my windshield I had to get it done elsewhere. He made me feel like I was not worthy of care. With everything going on it is never a good idea to leave your hood open. Avoid this place like the plaque. I will never use this shop again period.

Called to arrange an oil change and was told I had to wait to hear back from someone who was on lunch at the time I called and that the person answering the phone couldn't look at their schedule, never got a call back. Called in a second time and was told I had to just bring the car by anytime, but not this week, had to do so when they weren't busy, but also that they couldn't tell me when a good time was to just bring it in while they weren't busy. I wanted to try this company but clearly they don't want customers and can't manage a calendar.

Dave is a great person! I'll just say that first! I felt like I called too much LOL but he never changed his professionalism or his attitude about it! He was very patience when it came to accommodating my family's needs! They worked on my car in a timely matter considering it was a big job! But the customer service is outstanding! Shop is clean! And they did a good job with my car! Highly recommended!

Dave and his team have done excellent work on my 2003 Tacoma. My truck broke down on the side of the road after his shop closed, and he went out of his way to let the tow truck driver back the vehicle into his gated lot at around 7pm. He is direct, fairly priced, reasonable, and looks out for his customer's best interest. What I really appreciate is that he always picks up his phone, so even if you don't hear from him about how repairs are going, feel free to call him and he'll answer. Highly recommended.

Direct, professional people; from the front desk to the owner. Fair prices, too! I have an enclosed transmission system which requires a specific tool just to drain and fill the fluid. They gave me a time estimate and kept to it! What's really nice is if all you need is a fluid change, it's kinda like a Great Clips. no appointment needed. But, I'd call to let them know you're bringing something in and what for.
The only reason for 4 Stars is that the entryway is not marked as well as it could be, which leads to a little confusion. But, just pull into the fenced lot on the right and you're there

Took in my Mercedes SUV to get transmission service done. The quote was at least 20-25 percent cheaper than the dealer and the independent shops. This is the 2nd car I took in. My first was the first generation c class. Both times, my car drove as smooth as butter after the service. The location was a little out of my way but very worth it for the quality of service and savings. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to get their transmission fluid changed or serviced.
