Super kind staff. They checked out my van for a pre purchase inspection! Loved how they took their time and thoroughly check over the vehicle. They found a few minor things that helped us adjust what the dealership was asking for.

The best and worst thing about this place is that they allow you to bring your own parts. My most recent experience..I took my car there thinking that it needed o2 sensors, well they changed one (I can’t confirm which of 1 of 4) and then said they don’t need to be changed. Advised me to purchase a high pressure fuel pump (informed them that both were replaced last year), I purchased one but that didn’t resolve the issues. It’s like they can’t really diagnose or unwilling to if you don’t speak Spanish. I paid them $255 to install those two parts that are NOT listed on my receipt, I’m not really sure that either part was replaced, I had to have my car towed from there to a Kia dealership, and found out that my problem was fuel injector 3 was stuck open. I would highly suggest not going to this place if you don’t speak Spanish, at least then then communication should be clearer.

Incredible. They took our beloved 99 toyota and brought new life into it at a price that simply could not be beat. They finished our engine work in a timely manner and solved our oil leak at the rear main seal.
An honest mechanic can be hard to find but if youre reading this you've finally found one.

Anderson was so helpful fixing what I thought would be a huge, expensive repair. He offered a more conservative solution and explained everything in detail. He stayed in communication with me throughout the day. I appreciate that he was able to fix it the same day. He even came and showed me pictures he had taken of my transmission when I went to pick up my car. It's running great now and I'm thankful for Anderson and his team.

Best took great care of two of my vehicles. One 56 years old and the other one 10 years. I will be back anytime I have alignment needs. Great service and great price.

I have been in Anderson’s shop three times now.
The first was a flat tire which he gladly did not charge me anything but I tipped the mechanic $20

The second time was the break pads for my F150, the Firstome shop on Arboretum wanted $670 and Anderson charged $500 including the rotors.

Today repair is for a coolant leak that thankfully is not a major problem. Should be done same day.

Also I want to point out how AMAZING CLEAN is their bathroom! It smells better than most restaurants too! Like really really sparkling clean!

And they also have all sorts of snacks, coffee, team and water in their waiting room.
