Reviewers Comments:

Scott is highly competent, willing and able to tackle issues that others are not, very personable, and very straightforward. I recommend him without reservation to anyone who wants their car repaired properly. He does a fine job of keeping my 19 year old BMW happy!

Expedition's knowledge of building and fixing all models is beyond what any other mechanic can image to do. His talent innate and the service is friendly to all.

Scott is the MacGyver of mechanics. He's the absolute best. No BS; obssessed with detail; treats every job like it was his own car -- a real enthusiast with a passion for his work.

Scott is very honest and competent with his work. He takes the time to actually talk to you and explain to you what he's doing. It's the exact opposite of the treatment you would get in a busy doc's office during flu season. He even went out of his way to pick me up when my car was ready, and I was a first time customer. Very happy with the work, I'll be back.
