Took it in for evap problem and month later and 3000. Still could not fix it. Before he started I told him to save the spark plugs and show them to me because he said they were really dirty threw them away. I also told him to use Bosch platinum. He put something else more expensive just to charge more. I know what works best for my car. The third time he let slip out he didn't use a OEM evap system put something cheap to make more money. I good mechanic will always use OEM parts especially for a classic muscle car. Close to a 1000 miles was add in a month time .kept telling me it would pass . When it failed the forth times just after five minutes, I call first thing in the morning and said he would get back to me and blew me off. Do not take your car to him for emissions. Now I can't drive it its my only car and am losing overtime at work. He didn't listen the first time And I lost 3000 dollars to him .Going to sue him to get back my money not only that the other mechanic put a Crack in the dash board jumping over the console all he had to do was open the door handle it works from the inside don't trust this place if you want your car fixed with OEM parts stay away from this place. Zero stars.

Was trying to find a place to mount my winter tires but everyone was busy. On my way home I drove past this place. Glad I stopped they have fast service and the east coast guy there tells you how it is straight up with no bullsh*t. Hard to find people like that now. 10/10 will be going back for all my tire needs.

Sunset, under the management of Ron Alesi - a car guy with decades of experience - are above all, problem solvers. Whenever I've had issues with my 2009 AWD G37X, Ronnie and his guys came up with practical solutions and backed up their work. They do the routine work and specialize in the problem issues that can befall older vehicles, like electrical with Infinitis over 100,000 miles. In a nutshell, SA means fair prices, no BS, great experience in auto repair and Ronnie's strong network of other automotive professionals and parts houses just a phone call away. If he can get a used part to save money, he does it. Sometimes, it's nothing more than good advice on an item that's putting no money into their pockets. You call up SA and you get an answer or else Ronnie says "I'll call you back and he does just that, 10 minutes, an hour, later, with the information a customer needs to make an informed decision. My G37 has over 130,000 miles on it and I am confident that with SA's reasonably priced help, I'll continue to drive it for years to come.

If I could give negative stars I would infinitely. I went in for spark plugs and new coil packs. I paid $150 for a inspection which includes looking at my axles I picked up my car and not even 3 miles down the road a bolt flew off then throughout the week more bolts were flying off to the point where my axle dropped out of my car while driving if they would have done a proper inspection They would have known that my axle bolts were loose or if they loosened them being that I never had any issue with my axle until I brought it to the shop The same day I got my car back is the same day The first bolt flew off within 3 miles of the shop I called and left a voicemail addressing the issue and now I am being avoided And ignored I will definitely be getting in contact of the board of business to address my situation since I am being ignored I could have got seriously hurt with my child and I am pregnant. They do not care. They just want your money. They did address that my axle was bad, but they did not address that all my axle bolts were loose to the point where I could take them out with my fingers. Bring your business somewhere else save your money time and frustration

Ron did a great job! I brought my car in for an alignment and to patch what I thought was a leaking tire. After performing the alignment inspection, he was very straightforward about the repairs my car needed, explaining how each repair and replacement would affect the quality and safety of my drive. I never felt pressured to accept the work and he worked with me to get the car road safe in a matter of days and at a reasonable price. I knew my car needed some work done as my drive was not smooth and I could feel every bump in the road, but didn’t know where to start. The cost of the inspection was applied to the repairs and he worked with me to source used parts (aluminum wheels) that would drive down the cost of the repairs. He even buffed up and coated the wheels to give them a nicer look even though I was completely fine with putting them on as is. He started working immediately and followed up with me after I picked up my car to make sure I had no complaints or issues with my drive after the repairs. Ron takes a lot of pride in his work and he was very honest with pricing, giving me estimates and asking if I wanted to have the repairs done in piecework to make it more financially viable for me. In the end, my car needed all four wheels, front struts, and front shocks replaced as the wheels had been bent from the worn out struts and shocks that originally came with the vehicle (it’s from 2006). My catalytic converter had completely rusted through, I could actually smell exhaust every time I turned my car on, so that and the pipe connecting it was replaced. No more exhaust smell in my cabin! Finally, he mounted my tires, balanced and rotated them, and then I got my passing alignment! My “leaking” tire was actually just losing air from the wheel rim bending.
