I've had to take my car here twice now because it's close to my work. And I'm so happy I now have a place I can feel comfortable going to with any car issues, especially being a woman (I know ZERO about cars). They do NOT take advantage of you and they have your best interest. Much appreciated and I will confidently return any time I need anything!

Great service, great pricing, even got thanked for bringing my car for an oil change. Drove it straight to montreal after and no issues. Definitely will be a repeat customer.
