We came in after hours for an oil leak and the owner was super nice to stay late to help us do a quick oil change. He also went above and beyond and helped us find the source of the leak and explain the severity of it. He was super helpful and even provided extra tools to make sure we don’t have a leak. Definitely recommend this place for everyone! Reasonably priced as well!!

Great mechanic but how he handles his business is disappointing. He did work on my husband’s vehicle several months back with a guarantee. Everything was fine until recently. He’s been troubleshooting the vehicle. Our last communication with him was last week where he once again rescheduled the day to drop off the vehicle and continue working on it. He’s been rescheduling us for several weeks already. Tried to confirm with him Sunday evening the drop off time for Monday. Made several calls to him which he never responded to. Went by the shop Monday morning and he wasn’t there. Still haven’t heard from him. I’ll take my business elsewhere.

Chris came in on the holiday weekend to look at my car. Even though I had the fluid levels checked and the oil and air filter changed at the Jiffy Lube off S. Ventura for a total of over $200, When Chris looked at the brake fluid level, it was less than half full! I showed him the receipt from less than one month ago that showed my brake fluid being “full”. He was disgusted! So he filled it for me. For free! I will definitely recommend Chris. The shop is not much to look at, but don’t be deceived. He knows his stuff.

Solid service!! They helped me finish my transmission job free of charge. I work on my own cars and needed a carlift to check the transmission fluid level but no shops would take my car unless they did the entire transmission job themselves. Cris saved the day by squeezing me in between clients, getting my car up on his lift, and properly checking my fluid level. We discovered that it was slightly underfilled and Cris filled it up until it was at the correct level using the exact same oil brand from his own inventory. It was a quick job for him and he wanted to let me go without charging me for his service, but I gave him some cash at least for the oil he provided. For the price of my car's transmission, this kind of service is worth gold. Saved me thousands of dollars by correcting the transmission fluid before catastrophic failure. Also other corporate shops refused to even check it unless they did the entire transmission job themselves which would have cost me at least $300+ dollars. This is why I prefer small independent shops, because they are more flexible with their services compared to bigger franchises. They really shine when you're in a pinch and they are the only ones wi

I took my car here a few years ago but the experience taught me how scammy some mechanics are is this shop is a scam. They tell you it’ll be ready and then say in three days and then a week and then I got so fed up that I surprised the owner one night and showed up for my car. He stood there shocked. I have a suspicion that they were using my car as a shop car to drive around. Scammers. He’s so charming “my friend” if he is no friend. The issue was not fixed. I took my car to a family mechanic and he had the issue fixed that day.
