Suggested to go here by my warranty company. Same day in n out but my navigation system stopped working they couldn't find a problem and was lied to.
DO NOT ASK FOR GEORGE. He's a scammer, really gives a bad name for mechanics.

Got my tires/oil/ air filter changed here for my 2012 Mazda 3 after my previous shop closed. I've had a few places try to overcharge me unfairly and try to do changes to my car I clearly didn't need. These guys, however, were kind, fairly priced, didn't take too long and I just walked in without an appointment!

We've been visiting this service centre for last 5 years with our Mazda 5, savana 2500 and Toyota Corolla .On every oil change they always use 10w30 oil where Mazda 5 requires 0w20 synthetic oil we told them every time to use correct oil the owner says oh no we've used correct oil only paper says 10w30 .They replaced out tires and left all wheel nuts loose , last visit today June 30th same thing happen upon calling to the owner explaining this is on going issue the owner replied why still come here. Very poor customer service ,Can't trust techs what they using to service vehicles.Most interesting

I came here for oil change + to swap summer/winter tires. The price was decent although I never knew if I really needed the air + cabin filters yet . I had to come a few weeks later and they told me that my front breaks are kaput which they didn't see when changing the tires I guess. I probably won't come here again.
Update: changed from 3 to 2 stars because this shop quoted me almost $2,000 for an exhaust and brake repairs for my Camry that cost me less than a $1,000 at a Toyota specialized shop.
