Brought my 2022 Mazda 3 in for a brake inspection due to a humming noise when lightly braking. Paid $120 for the inspection. The technician’s written assessment: “Brakes are 50% life.” When I asked for specific measurements, he said all four pads are at 6mm. By industry standards, 6mm pads have 1.5-2 years of life remaining and do not need replacement. Despite this, the verbal recommendation was to replace all 4 pads and 2 rotors for $440. When I asked how long I could continue driving, the answer was vague: “1 to 5 months depending on driving style.” The claim that “all four pads are at 6mm” doesn’t make physical sense. Front brakes carry 60-70% of braking force and typically wear about twice as fast as rear brakes. On a 2022 Mazda 3 with 51,000 miles, front pads should be noticeably thinner than rear pads—about a 2-3mm difference is normal. “All around 6mm” would require front and rear to wear at the exact same rate, which contradicts basic vehicle physics. This makes me suspect the inspection wasn’t actually performed with proper measurements. There’s no indication the wheels were removed, and the technician offered the same number for all four positions when asked.

We were referred to Garson & his team by a friend and have been going to him for years! We trust him with every issue - always honest, fast and super helpful. Very thankful to have found them :)
View on GoogleGreat autoshop. I took my car back after repairs from two Hyundai dealership only to discover a nonfunctional headlight and brake problems. Took the car here and they managed to fix everything in one day. Highly recommend.
View on GoogleGreat service and very reasonable prices. Gerson is very knowledgeable and helpful. I had service performed on Ram 1500, spark plugs replaced, fuel injectors & throttle body cleaned, different fluid replaced, plus a differential pinion seal that was leaking replaced. Work was done in one day and completed as promised
View on GoogleThis was by far one of the worst places I've ever been to. Paid 2k for a coolant leak, which continued to leak due to poor check of the job they did. Was told vehicle was ready to pick up "tested" everything was fine from what they told me, take it home and vehicle still leaked. Water if time, money and quite honestly will NOT return. There's better service out there with accurate readings and try not to rip you off.
