Report
Travis was extremely honest and knowledge. Dealership was wanting to charge me over $1,600 for 30k maintenance and told me that if I didn't do the maintenance my car would no longer be under warranty. Travis researched exactly what service needed to be done. Turns out all I needed was an oil change. This is now my go to mechanic.

This place is wonderful! We are traveling in our van and needed a piece for our alternator. They let us ship the piece to their store and they installed it very quickly. These guys are so awesome! I highly recommend them!

I found this place through Google. It was the closest place to my shop to get an oil change. I found the service to be fantastic and I didn't get upsold on anything. Every time I go to big chain stores they try to sell you everything they have. I got exactly what I wanted and I highly recommend this place to anyone that needs an oil change. I'm sure they do much more and when I need brakes or rotors or whatever I will certainly be going back.

My 18 year old son at ASU has a 2006 Mustang that broke down late one afternoon. We called the Car Shop and they were so helpful and responsive and helped him bring it it in and get checked in. They fixed the radiator leaks, the warped brake rotors and the broken fender rubbing against the tire. Price seemed very reasonable and communication with me (in California) was above and beyond. Highly recommend.
