Did transmission and driveline oil change here for my lexus. Chris was amazing and very knowledgeable! He listened to all my concerns and professionally did the job. He even gave me a ride home and offered to pick me up when the car was ready. Definitely, recommend this place.

Katrina Dafoe
First off, I couldn’t be more impressed with the empathy from the first phone call with Chris, he made sure that I got the service I needed even though he didn’t provide it. He spent his day making phone calls on my behalf to following up with me when I needed to go elsewhere. He helped me with every step of the process right from dealing with warranty’s to tracking down proper help. He made me feel heard and respected and that’s hard to come by! Thank you for your help! It’s appreciated more than you know!!

Steve Brooks
Ken and Chris And their entire team at this location has been top-tier dependable from day, one walking in as a new customer all the way up to last week. As a small business owner myself, I could say their honesty and integrity are beyond reproach The speed in which they deal with things as well as the quick follow ups and constant communication with quotes are what a lot of automotive service shops are lacking Let’s face it, The inconvenience of having a truck breakdown Is terrible, But knowing that the tow truck is dropping it off at Ken’s shop gives me peace of mind that it’s all going to be taken care of quickly and professionally I rarely write Google reviews, but after going to their shop for so many years, I feel this one is long overdue 10/10 Would ( and do ) recommend them to anybody in the surrounding areas

Mackenzie Spencer
Top notch service at this location. I had a very specific situation with the transmission in my car, they were comfortable with me bringing my own part & had it installed for a very fair price. Other locations gave me insane quotes, I was very happy with my experience with Chris. My silly little Honda CR-Z is good as new.

J. S.
serviced my ol' domestic x-over. made me read up on the matter. got to appreciate the complexity of hydraulics & kinetics involved in the transmission system. these gents parent-&-son can listen, relate/empathize, perform & deliver. doing the replacement itself is extremely tedious. a personalized approach they both do. Ken, an ex-aviator hobbyist, & his son Chris, a hands-on specialist, are like 2 gears in synchrony (some comments are a bit mean). read the way they reply to the negatives - tells me their character. professionals. Merci!
