Very fair price, straightforward, and no unnecessary upselling. Car is running great so far.
Phuc is an honest individual. He works hard, is efficient, effective, and an automotive genius.
Got me in and out and did it for far less than the other dozen or so shops I called.
We take all of our vehicles here and Phuc always does an amazing job! He is very honest and fair with prices.
I left with all my questions answered and he made me aware of issues with my car I didn't know about and could fix myself.
I brought a part in to him to install on my Audi S6 and he replaced it in less than 15 minutes!
Really great service, I was stuck and had to have it fixed and he stayed late just to help me out.
By noon Saturday 6/18/2016 Phuc Nguyen (Lead mechanic and owner) had performed 5 different jobs, my car was ready and running like it hasn't run in a long time and the price was very reasonable.
If you're looking for a family mechanic, this is the place to take your vehicle.
