"Brought my mini here to have it checked for any inside damage from an accident. Took them only 50 mins and was very detailed in explaining things my car needs. I was not even charged. Will definitely be bringing my car here for maintenance. Thank you!"
by Diane Diaz
"I will say that Jeff is a man of his word and I will start to send Customers again. When a man corrects his wrong then I will forgive and forget. I only leave this review up to show the greatness of correction. Thanks again Jeff and Happy Holidays"
by Sam Means
"Great service—pictures they provided during and after the repair process were really helpful. Scheduled service online and they were able to make a pretty involved repair in three days. Very professional and responsive."
