Reviewers Comments:

They rebuilt the engine in my 1966 Pontiac GTO, as well as several other repairs. Couldn't believe the quality of work. Sometimes it takes a little longer than the first estimate, but the quality of work is worth it. When I needed a rush done, they put extra people on the job and overnighted parts to get it done. They will pick you up or drop you off as needed. Did a very good job of explaining needed repairs and everything that they said needed fixing over the phone was later shown to me in person. They specialize in all makes and also in diesel engines. My other car is an '02 VW Jetta Diesel and I'll be taking it to them when I need work done.

Have you ever had a shop quote you a price for repair then call you to tell you it is finished a day earlier than promised and then tell you they were able to save you $300.00 from the quoted price! That's what happened to me when they rebuilt my Honda transmission. They also fixed my brakes for less than the big name brake shops, excellent quality and professional mechanics. I will not take my cars to any other place!
