Finding a great mechanic is like finding a great doctor around here. Another shop put on rotors and new brakes and was hearing a low pitch grinding noise. Took it to my dealership 2x and another shop, they said it's the material you bought online.bs! Mikes shop fixed the issue within an hour and it was the pins they put on at other shop were bad. Been here before and they will always do a quality job and do not cut corners.
All the mechanics here are seasoned vets. If you wanna be cheap and let your car fall apart just take it to your dealership, they'll just tell you it's normal until you break down. Private is way to go and they've been in business longer than I've been alive, that's saying something!
