5-star review by Breck Holmes

"Very honest and reasonable. Thought my brakes were bad and TJ simply cleaned them up and let me know they were good to go. He also got my check engine light to turn off, which I had tried with other mechanics several times. Very knowlegable and honest is a rare combination. Would reccomend to anyone."

"TJ does great work, and has reasonable labor rates. He'll  fix and get you back on the road fast!!"

5-star review by Ivar Snaebjorn

"Best mechanic i found. Been going here for several years now. Sometimes has a waiting list, but quality counts, well worth getting it fixed right. even for emergency short repairs he has fit me in. An honest shop, with-out fake or un-nessissary repairs keeping costs low."

5-star review by Kirk Mook

"Great prices, a few times even no charge! We have two vehicles. An SUV and a hybrid car. Tom, the owner, has worked on both. Brakes were done in both vehicles without issue and at a lower price than the dealer or other well know chain garages. One time I brought my vehicle in for AC work that another garage misdiagnosed. He fixed it and for a lower cost. One time I brought in the SUV for a hesitation issue and it was given a tune-up to solve the issue. This didn't solve the problem but it needed a tune-up anyway. I chose to live with the issue until it develops in to something worse. Other than that we have had no issues or regrets coming here for repairs or service."
