Al has been our mechanic for 20 years. He is an absolute genius and an honest one at that!!!

al can usually diagnose the problem over the phone - you could use him to fill in when you go on vacation. we've used him for over 20 years - we found him when one of his (now former) mechanics used to complain that he wouldn't let them "fix things" unless they were really broken - unlike dealer's shops where "they want you to replace anything you can until you finally figure it out..." he also complained that al was not amused if a customer had to bring a car back... he expects us to get it right the first time, can you imagine that???" only in our dreams until we found al! he's worked on a porsche 924 - 160,000 miles; 3 audis - 150 to 180,000 miles; & a wonderful old saab turbo - 190,000 miles. he's also a character with a wry sense of humor who doesn't suffer fools well...

I have taken my cars to Al for 20 years. He's the best
mechanic I have ever been to. He is absolutely,
positively, completely honest. He always explains the
problem, and ALL of the options. He never steers you
towards anything you don't need. In fact, many is the
time that I thought I needed something more expensive and
he talked me out of wasting my money. Between me and my
wife, we have taken quite a few makes of car to him (Saab,
VW, Pontiac, Honda, Oldsmobile, and Audi)and he has been
great with all of them. I now live 20 miles away from
him, but I still take my car to him. He will take the time
to solve the problem. I recently had an intermittent
electrical problem. The stuff mechanics hate, because they
are so hard to trace -- a lot of time and not much money,
if you even find the cause at all. He took the time,
pored over wiring diagrams etc, until it was solved.
Plus, he is an incredibly nice guy. He has a really
dry sense of humor and a is interesting to talk with about
just about anything. I think he should open a bar next to
his garage, that way he could fulfill his genius for
mechanics and repartee at the same time.

Al has been my mechanic for over 25 years. I have trusted
my and my childrens cars to Al. I can always rely on a
honest, fast, and safe job fom him and his crew. I have
recommended him to scores of people with only one person
not agreeing (personality thing). I hope I stop driving
before he retires.

I was very impressed with Al and his honesty. I was
mislead by the local BMW dealer and thought I'd have to
deal with a $600+ repair that turned out to be not
correct. Al's fix was under $40. I took the time to
explain what was wrong and what he did to correct the
problem. I'm sold!!! I am recommending this shop to my
friends and family.

Al the owner is one the crankiest human beings on the face
of the planet, he is also one the the best and most honest
mechanics. I've used Al for over 26 years.
