Found Dara a couple years ago and he is simple the best. Honest reasonable and if he's not to busy, he will try to look at your car right away. Other mechanics I'd have to make an appointment just for them to look at it. Highly recommend!!

This place is a personal preferences for any car issues of mines. The worst part of this place is parking, you may need to end up double parking. The staff here are nice and are willing to explain the promblem and the solution they are gonna do. For entertainment their is a tv and aquarium. The tv has hulu and youtube.

The boss and staff of course have their ups and down but the general vibe in this place is a good one even when it is busy. Please make sure to call ahead to see… read full review
