Local gem. I've never done anything major there because I have another place I use for the heavy lifting, but it's 30 minutes away and there's no place to eat nearby.

For 15 years, this place has been great for: oil changes, battery stuff, flat tires, tail lights, lots of handy things. Also some bigger items like an alternator, hoses, and even a serpentine belt. Very reasonable prices, and they had the needed parts in stock every time.

They must be doing something right because they always seem busy, but not too busy to fix my stuff. Being local, I can come back later, or the next day if it's not critical. Or I can go eat next door while I wait my turn. I could throw a rock, and hit El Torito and other places to eat. Or cross the street for another 10 places including Starbucks.

Heading down there now for a smog test (and some happy hour drinks, lol). That's when I noticed the lame negative reviews on Google Maps - I called to see if they did smog on Saturdays. And they do. This place is awesome, so I had to post a real review.

To the "umm" reviewer... FYI if ANY mechanic seems uncertain of your vehicle diagnosis or repairs necessary, you should go elsewhere anyway, right?
