I come from Brea to have service on my F150 W/337K miles on it. Freddy has serviced this truck for the past 6 years, and he is one of the best mechanic's I know. The work place is immaculate as well.

Came here for a transmission fluid change. The mechanics were super helpful and their shop was insanely clean. The price and turnaround on the change was well worth it. I will be back!

I called the shop right before opening because my car’s starter was failing. They were able to get my car repaired and back to me in the same day. Staff were kind and communicative. My car has a 12 month warranty. I recommend this shop!
