Mid-Cities Service Center (www.mcautoservice.com)

Fixed transmission for $291 when the dealer wanted $2000 to replace it. Explained that air-conditioning was messed up because the dealer had failed to flush the system after replacing the compressor. Explained what to ask the dealer for (including a rental car) and offered to call the dealer. Offers rides to / from the shop to pickup / leave the car. Keeps decent hours (not open late or weekends) so that he and his employees can have a family life.

I had what turned out to be a minor accident in my Camry, but at the time I had it towed to Mid-Cities Service Center I was prepared for them to tell me it would take some semi- major repairs. I know quite a bit more about cars than most women, but I would have believed them if they had given me a much more substantial damage report & estimate for repair. When they came back and told me how minor the damage really was, I was surprised and thrilled. After all the horror stories out there, there's nothing better than finding out you're working with an honest mechanic! Mid- Cities Service Center has worked on three of my family's cars over the last few years, and they're always honest, reliable, and downright pleasant to deal with. I can't recommend them highly enough!!

They remember me (probably a function of how often they've had to work on my lousy truck). They almost always do great diagnostics and fix the problem the first time. They're not cheap but they cost less than the dealer. The place is clean, the employees take pride in their appearance and they treat people with courtesy and respect. Good folks, recommend them.

These folks, especially Bob Parra, are the best! They kept our cars running ( well ) for more years than I can recall. The only reason we're not using them now, is because of dealer warranty restrictions. :-( We can't recommend them highly enough!

This shop is fantastic. They have been timely about getting back to me after assessing my vehicle. They fixed my transmission when I was worried it may need to be replaced and for a very reasonable amount. I appreciate that they are willing to drive me home in my own vehicle (child carseats are already installed) which lets me point out problems and odd noises to them. They remember me and are very friendly on the telephone as well as in person. This is the best experience with a car repair shop I've ever had. I highly recommend them to everyone.
