Car had grinding noise when making sharp turn. Plus needing oil change. Came here as 8 am as first customer. Owner Dave not only had his man fixed the noise problem, throughly inspected my old car, and changed my oil, but he also showed me around his shop. Total price around $100. In addition, Dave explained to me what was wrong and other things that might be potential problems to watch out in the future. Very happy. Will tell friendship to come here for car problems.

From talking to Dave, I found he is an engineer with decades of experience. Very impressed with his knowledge and easygoing manner. However, I hope to not see him too soon.

This is my 2nd review. It's about my visit to Dave's shop on June 13, 2019. These are the details. I wanted to buy a 2017 used Camry from Craigslist. On June 13, 2019 the seller (who is local and happens to be mechanic himself) and I together went to Dave's shop for Dave to inspect the car. Dave was thorough. He checked the car's computer code. His man lifted the car for inspection. He confirmed that the car is in good shape but told that the spark plugs needed to fixed now. There are potential issues to watch out down the road, but engine, transmission, brakes seem to be all good. I ended up buying the car but having the seller fix the spark plugs and deliver the car to me this weekend. The seller seems to be an honest guy. He reduced the price slightly. Dave's expertise is assuring so I know that I didn't get a lemon.

I know nothing about cars. I knew Dave before and trust his opinion. Were it not for Dave's shop, I would never dare to buy a car from Craigslist. Thank you Dave!
