Pop's Garage, Inc.

I was thrilled to find Pops Garage years ago when I moved into town, and since then it has been the only place I take my vehicles for service, repairs, and general maintenance. Every time I’m there, there are muscle cars and hot rods being worked on, and indeed I’ve brought in my Trans Am and Grand National for work. But they work on all cars as well, and they also work on my newer VW Atlas SUV and my vintage VW Bug. Every job has been done flawlessly and at completely fair rates. After just one conversation with the owner, Joe, you can tell he’s a genuinely good person you can trust. I won’t take my cars anywhere else. If you’re looking for a shop that can handle any level of work, just call Pops!

THANK YOU JOE. New to town and needed an oil change for my mother-in-law. Yes, my mother-in-law. Joe said I could come right in. He is only a mile and a half away from our new home in Parkland. Joe personally greeted me in the lobby. Super friendly guy. In and out in about an hour. I was thoroughly impressed with his shops process. I saw new and old cars alike. I am really glad I ran into this guy. He will be our go to shop from here on out. RJ Feist and Family

I’ve used Joe along with a buddy of mine a few couple of times and collectively spent well over 50-60k and it was ALWAYS something new bringing us back. He also tricked me into selling him some afe headers i had for basically free saying they were nothing special which I found out afterwards were worth over 2k used in the condition they were. Not to mention the countless things from my vehicle never returned that weren’t cheap. To top it off his attitude these days is extremely rude and could careless what you’ve spent with him if you aren’t spending it anymore.. dont let the nice friendly banter to get you in the door fool you. Also who throws out receipts after 3 years. Such a joke and conman.

First let me say that I didn’t want to react immediately after I left Joe’s shop . I wanted to wait a few days to reflect on what honestly occurred. The positive: Joe and his crew rebuilt the front end of my 1978 Cadillac Eldorado and properly aligned my tires . This was a big job and they did a terrific job for which I am grateful . To back up a bit , My car had stalled out heading to Joe’s shop for the scheduled appointment so I had it towed and Joe said he’d get it started first . He called and explained that they replaced the distributor cap and coil to get it started . Then he gave me the bad news about the front end needing a rebuild which didn’t surprise me . As mentioned above it was an A+ job well done! He also located a AC leak which I brought to his attention and that was fixed perfectly as well. When Joe called he explained all the work was done and that he test drove the car and it ran very well. Upon picking up the car Joe was very pleasant. We had a nice conversation and I told him I was glad to find a garage like his that serviced old cars. He also said everything is under warranty and to let him know if there are any problems. We parted on friendly terms. I proceeded to drive home and long story short the car was not driving very smoothly. It felt as if it was going to stall out at a stop light and then upon the light turning green and me giving it some gas there was a hesitation which also felt like the car would stall. I immediately turned around after getting some gas and calmly approach Joe about the problem and he was visibly upset. Stormed out of the shop with me and took a test drive. Joe angrily and disrespectfully drove the car at high rates of speed . He declared there’s nothing wrong with the car when in fact there was. We drove back to the shop and he explained “ if you want to leave it I’ll take a look at it tomorrow. I haven’t got time now “. I could tell he was pissed, and I even brought that to his attention in which he denied it. But I think after spending over $4000 and me being a new customer to boot that he could’ve been more caring about me stalling out on the way home and took a look at it no matter how busy he was. I wouldn’t have minded waiting for the car just for peace of mind driving the car home . I did make it home safely with one stall out at a stop light .It’s too bad that this ruined my experience at Pops garage and left me feeling unappreciated as a new customer.

Will never go here again - worst experience ever. Joe needs to let someone else take over business or close it. He wont have any customers the way he treats them. Work took too long, poor followup by him, very rude, yelled at me, and is disrespectful to females. Car issue not even fixed properly. Got my car and was dirty too with used tissues in it and grease. Car scratched as well. Nightmare to deal with.
