Not sure why my review keeps getting deleted, but I will continue to check and repost each time it is deleted because the service or lack there of was horrible. I went there for an engine replacement which I had financed so Steven was paid $4000 up front by the finance company and told me I would have my car in a week. It took a month and numerous visits to me finally having to call police on the day he finally had my car ready because he tried to have me pay the balance of $1000 in cash rather than on my debit card because he stated I may dispute it. So with police present he did not try that and accepted the payment and was trying to tell officers I didn’t have the money. Problem began when he first said he had claimed to have received wrong engine 2 days prior to the promised week I should have had my car back. Then every week he was asking me to buy replace screws, and a list of other replacements parts. Then told me I wouldn’t have a warranty like he had promised had I not replaced 2 parts which I told him that should have been told me in advance. He said the place he gets the engine from requires the 2 parts be replaced so if he knew that in advance it should have been told to me prior to the start of work. Car was Making a sound when I picked it up and he told officers it was the cerpentine belt and he told him I didn’t want to replace it which he never even told me about. Stay far away from this place.

The owner, Steve, and his son run the shop. Both are courteous and friendly. I've been coming to them for a long time because the were around the corner from my house. They have moved to the new location but I continue to go because I feel like I'm getting fair treatment and prices for the work being done.

Steve the owner and lead mechanic is friendly and straight up. He is energetic. He diagnosis your vehicle and gives you the options on how to fix the car. My experiences have been good.

Now only 1 thing was expected to have replaced beside the battery under warrantee too. However and yes he is a real mechanic as garage only and not as like when my grand father original a mechanic before moving to Florida with the gas station business. Generally new mechanics only out of school. Where the price yes because also replaced the blower which I did not request done. Nor like most other places supposed to have called first as to what the charge would be. As I was only expecting after putting $100 in cash down yesturday with him working on it over night to be a total of no more than say $150 not where had to liquidate my bank account of little had plus the $25 in cash had on me to. To turn a $150 job into a $350 job. So just to put it out there may know what he is doing to get things done fast. But we'll looks like added an extra $200 for just the blower motor as both the heat and AC was working fine and only the blower.

DO NOT TAKE YOUR VEHICLE HERE! They drive your vehicle without your permission! They treat your car like it’s a rental and is extremely short on insurance. I’m also a previous customer and had my old car worked on by these people, when I got my car back there was more damage then there was when I dropped it off! Steven (the owner) Lied and said it was “cheap gas”! Took my car to another mechanic and told me I needed new Wheel Barrons! Another $500 gone, never bothered to find out if these thieves stole them off my car! FAIR WARNING DON’T TAKE YOUR CAR TO THESE HUSTLERS!
