About

This shop is extremely polarizing. Long-time customers swear by the mechanics and the fair pricing, while newer customers often report aggressive behavior from the owner and unauthorized work. The shop seems to rely on a traditional, no-frills approach that doesn't always sit well with modern expectations of communication. If you go, be very clear about what you want and get everything in writing.

Great mechanics, but the owner is a nightmare to deal with.

They did the work fast, but I didn't authorize the extra charges.

Old school shop, good for simple stuff, but be careful.
