BEWARE!!! DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS THEIF!! He is NOT licensed with Bureau of Automotive and BBB does not have him in their data files. He took $700 from me to repair my head gaskets and replace my thermostat and radiator, he did not repair my car but he took my money and wouldn`t return it. It took him one day to take my engine apart and put it back together, failing to take my heads to the machine shop, after... view more assuring me that he did. which resulted in 8000`s of head warpage causing my car to overheat two days after he "repaired" my car. He also maliciously cut the regulator off the thermostat and reinstalled it, allowing constant flow of water on the engine as a shady shortcut to prevent my engine from overheating which failed, miserably. My car got so HOT, my knock sensors melted all over the engine. He also put the head gaskets in backwards. Resulting in having another LICENSED/CERTIFIED mechanic to replace my engine due to the Extreme damages incurred to my engine. After several attempts to Reach this Monkey of a Mechanic with no Avail, $250 in tow fees, $700 of services not rendered, $300 in car rental fees, and $3300 for a new engine.....I now have a reliable car to drive and no thanks to this MONKEY!!!

One of the most worst mechanics I`ve ever had to deal with!!! They over charge for everything and sometimes they won`t even change out the parts that you`ve paid for. On the Better Business Bureau he`s rated as an F. DO NOT USE THESE GUYS!!!!!

Great service..Promt..Saved us...

Great service..Promt (THE FIRST TIME)..Saved us a BUNCH OF $$$$...BUT...Then when I continue to have issues with car, I call them yes, they came allll the way out to my job and &quot;fixed&quot; the problem. Said they changed something THEY DIDN`T! 3 weeks later after fix I have another person help me (because the SAME problem is happening) and what Larry the car guy said he fixed WASN`T fixed at all. Needles... view mores to also say...Larry the car guy said he was going to take my car to his shop hook it up to a bigger machine to run even more diagnostics and my husband came home tho their suprise...Driving my car around to find the issue that way. SO THEY SAID THEY WERE GOING TO DO SOMETHING THEY NEVER DID!!!!! BEWARE...BEWARE....BEWARE....BEWARE
