Stay away from those guys, I took my car there on 11-20-19 for a head gasket replacement, and he took out my pistons, why? I don't know. long story short I got the car back on 12-4-19 and the car died on 1-17-20. I took the car back and now they are telling me I need a new engine but they wouldn't pay for it, He also will not admit to destroying my engine. car lasted one month after a complete rebuild. my car only had 70k miles on it.

Here's what happened - I brought my car to get checked out, on 1/7/16, after hearing a thumping noise. After inspecting the car, the mechanic called and told me the two front wheel bearings needed to be replaced and that I also had a cracked transmission mount. He told me it was safe to drive, but that I'd hear the thumping noise until I got the bearings fixed. He didn't charge me and my car was there from about 9am - 5pm. I did notice, as soon as I drove away, that the sound was progressively worse, but because he told me it was safe to drive, I did and planned on having it repaired the following week. Two days later, while driving, my front, drivers side wheel flew off, my car came crashing down and I skid down the street until I could stop. Some guys stopped, looked at the car and asked if I recently had work done on the car because there were no lug nuts on that wheel. Today, I went to the shop to tell the guy what happened and he said he never took the wheel off. Unfortunately, I have no proof that he did, but I find it extremely hard to believe this would have happened any other way. In addition, after having my car towed to the dealership, I had $1200 worth of work needed and only one of my wheel bearings needed to be replaced and the transmission mount is fine.

These guys are complete frauds. Brought my car to get checked and some guy named John told me I needed so many things done for the inspection to pass when nothing was wrong with my car. Took it to another shop and they said I just had slightly worn brake pads but they should still be good for until they start squealing. These guys are just desperate for money and will do anything to get you to pay for unnecessary repairs. BECAREFUL

stay away - not a legit auto repair and will most likely ruin your vehicle. better off visiting a REAL repair shop.
