I have been coming to Dani for over 7 years now and have only good things to say. Dani has been always very thorough, honest, knowledgeable, attentive, reasonably priced and approachable mechanic. I have brought my Audi to him multiple times, sometimes on a last minute call and he's been always willing to assist right away. I have never been disappointed and have sent multiple people to him (with different cars and issues) who have said the same. And you can see that by how busy he is. He's truly the best in KW area!

Dani is a great mechanic! He's one of the few people I trust to work on my cars when I myself can't fix it first. He's done a timing belt change on my MK6 TDI Jetta and also helped me out with a wheel bearing issue. Top notch guy

Dani is a top notch Mechanic! I took my car in for a repair, he was very quick to diagnose the issue and repaired it the same day! He is very honest on what needs to be done. I highly recommend Dani for any car maintenance and repairs!

I generally hate the thought of having to buy a vehicle, but our experience with Dani was excellent. Honest, professional and friendly. Highly recommended.
