Service was fast and the work was done well. also showed me photos of the parts that needed replacement. However, I felt the pricing was higher than expected ($150/hr labor) and I wasn’t told about a credit card surcharge until checkout, & the final total came to $844 for brake pads, rotors & calipers (rear only). I’d recommend asking for a full itemized quote, including any card fees, before they start work. Something I ultimately wish I would have done.
View on GoogleI own an old Toyota Camry with over 300,000 miles on it, and it’s still running strong. I have a deep emotional connection to this car—it was the very first car I drove after arriving in the U.S., and I simply can’t bring myself to sell, trade, or replace it. Although I own two newer cars, I still prefer driving my Camry for my daily commutes.
Recently, while driving, I heard a strange noise coming from underneath the car. After checking, I discovered that the exhaust flex pipe had broken and was dragging on the ground. The car became extremely loud, and I had to have it towed home.
After doing some research online, I found that replacing the exhaust pipe could be quite expensive—especially considering the car’s age and limited value. I contacted several local muffler shops, and most quoted me prices over $500.
One day, while driving down Ecorse Road, I stopped by a small shop and met Emad. I expected to hear the same high estimates I’d received elsewhere, but Emad was very honest and straightforward. He told me that it wouldn’t make sense to spend too much on an older vehicle, but since I clearly loved the car, he would do his best to help and offered me a price that was nearly half of what others had quoted.
Emad asked for a couple of hours to complete the repair and even lent me his personal car to use in the meantime—a gesture I deeply appreciated. When I returned, I was amazed. Not only had he expertly welded and fixed the flex pipe, but the car’s noise was completely gone. He even went the extra mile and cleaned my headlights, making them shine like new.
Now, my Camry drives smoothly and quietly once again. Emad’s shop may not be the most glamorous or high-end, but he has a genuine heart, strong work ethic, and honesty that’s hard to find these days. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending his shop to others.
