TESTIMONIALS

Isaac B.

Very very good auto mechanic. Leo knows what he is doing. He works as quickly as can be expected for an in-demand family shop. I have 3 vehicles and I will continue to bring all of my vehicles to him for all repair and maintenance. Price is right. You can bring in your own parts to ensure you are getting the best prices as well. Flexible, reliable and honest mechanics are hard to find.

Danielle F.

Leo was great at showing me what was wrong with my truck and explaining it in detail when I asked. I'm 100% sure it would have cost me 4x more at a dealership or anywhere else. It's not fancy but it's a GARAGE. I'd rather have someone be real with me then some fake corporate fluff. Now my truck drives better than when I bought it. Bottom line- save money, quality work, and don't have the corporate world shoved up your tush (AKA support local small businesses)

FAQS

How often should I get my vehicle serviced for regular maintenance?

Regular maintenance is crucial to keep your vehicle running smoothly and prevent costly breakdowns. We recommend following your manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule, which can typically be found in your owner's manual. This schedule typically includes services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake inspections, and fluid checks. In general, a standard guideline is to have your vehicle serviced every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, but this can vary depending on your vehicle's make and model. If you're unsure, our experienced technicians can provide personalized recommendations based on your driving habits and vehicle specifications.

We believe in complete transparency when it comes to pricing. Before we begin any work, we provide a detailed quote explaining all the services and costs involved. Our pricing is fair and competitive, with no hidden fees. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for, ensuring peace of mind with no surprises.

Do you offer a warranty on your repair work?

Yes, we stand behind the quality of our work with a comprehensive warranty.

This warranty is a testament to our confidence in the expertise of our technicians and the quality of the parts we use.
