    I found this place by looking on this web site and reading the glowing review. I took a chance on them and it really worked out. I asked for some simple mainlander work and a tune up. They actually told me the spark plugs and breaks didn't need to be changed for another 6 months. Honesty like that is hard to find!!!

    The car stalled all the time. The first time I had it towed, they changed the fuel filter (the new one made a lot of noise, but they said it was normal). It worked for 20 days, then the car stalled. The second time, they changed a sensor. It worked for two days, then the car stalled. The third time, they had the car in the parking lot for three days before informing me that they would not take it into the garage because they say that the car is fine, and as long as it is not towed in, they can not do anything. The shop is fine to change the oil or any other routine service, but they do not have qualified mechanics to identify a problem that is not evident.
