We've been using these guys almost 10 years. He is always honest and gives you an accurate quote and his honest opinion if it's worth fixing. We've since move away from midtown to the Heights, but we keep coming back because we trust him!

Mikey is one of the best in the business. He has served the midtown community for 26 years at his shop. He is the only AAA certified repair shop in the area. If anyone has AAA they will recommend you to his shop for repairs. There is nothing Mikey can't do. I had an exhaust issue and I personally watched Mikey weld a flex pipe onto my car and it was so good it looked better than the original welded by the manufacturer. Amazing service.
