Very condescending, treating me like I didn`t know what was ... view moregoing on. I`ve done this work myself prior to living in the city(don`t have a garage anymore) so I didn`t appreciate the salesman eluding to the fact that I wouldn`t make it across the street without crashing. Avoid these guys when possible, overpriced and not looking out for your best interests.

honest mechanics

Good mechanic, but pricey

Had to have a lot of work done on my car this spring, and I found these guys to be honest, quick, and friendly, albeit a bit expensive.
