I've been coming to Serj since he opened his shop. I have always trusted his advice and been happy with the service. He tells me exactly what needs to be done, even if I don't always understand. Like I said, I trust him and Morad. I've always considered it a fair price. I'm just happy I have a mechanic I can go to without any worries.

Horrible experience.... I called in asking for parts and I think someone named Sam answered and before I could ask for info he just started giving me attitude saying no we dont sell parts we are only mechanics... and before I have a chance to ask if I can bring my car in or what the case is they hung up. A lot of attitude for no reason I dont think they understand how to do business I would never go here never would I recommend anyone here and Ill tell everyone I know this is the worst place in the city!

Straight forward, honest, accommodating and friendly guys who care! I really feel that my car is cared for as if its their own. Such a relief after having the car serviced at the dealership and being gouged for years! These guys are great mechanics and just great people to know in general :).
