Jose said he went in last minute. They were able to take him in and still finish before they closed.

Great first time experience!
I highly recommend this company! They did a great job replacing my brakes. Since I had no choice but to wait for the car, they quoted three hours and my car was finished in two and a half hours. Their prices were very fair and the service we were at home was terrific!

Just Happened To Give Them A Try
Came by because I was selling my vehicle and needed to get a Smog Test. They were open early and they were ready to go. Genuine, friendly, knowledgeable, and a solid combination of personal and professional relationship. So much so, that I was genuinely encouraged to return for proper servicing of my other vehicle in the future. I'm in La Quinta, but a good reliable and seemingly honest mechanic is hard to find these days.

Fair, Friendly and efficient
Called, made an appointment ahead of time and was seen right away. They called and gave me the information and pricing estimate and my car was
finished in a timely manner! Friendly knowledgeable staff. I will be back
and recommending them them to others! Thanks everyone!
