If you have a hard time trusting mechanics, trust me when I say THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO. I have a 1985 porsche 944 and have taken it to nearly 10 different European specialty mechanics over the past few years. All of which tried to get me to repair things that did not need to be repaired, or struggled diagnosing the issue, quoting me ridiculous prices for the repairs. Last month my Porsche wasn't starting and I was dreading taking it into a mechanic to have my pocket book taken through the wringer. A friend of mine suggested this place, as he had seen that they had nearly a perfect rating online. So I figured what they heck, and boy am I glad I did. These guys are real and honest people who truly enjoy what they do and are damn good at it. It ended up being a very simple 200 fuel pump relay issue, I asked for a quote on the timing belt and water pump while the car was there, the quote was more than reasonable and they even told me I could probably just take it home and deal with those things later if money was an issue, as it wasn't in dire need. Because of their honest nature I had them go forward with all of the repairs and I WILL Be returning. Often times when leaving a repair shop I feel confused on what really needs to be done. They replaced the motor mounts and my car drives smoother than I could have ever imagined. No other shop had ever told me that the motor mounts were damaged, and it has made a night and day difference in the way she runs. Long story short, give these guys a shot, I promise you won't regret it! Jim is also very personable and has a great sense of humor.
My daughter borrowed my X5. I was hesitant to let her use it (hers was in a dealership shop) because I'd been experiencing issues getting the thing to start whenever the temps were
The only place I trust to work on my Saab! They are always honest even if it's brutal
Took my jetta here because not many other places will take it. Started out they couldn't figure out the problem I took it in for so they fixed other things on it. When they finally figured it out, my bill was already $500. They then told me that the actual fix would cost at least $400 plus labor. I looked it up online and the past actual cost less than $100, so I told them is order it then they could put it in. They agreed, but the website I ordered it from accidentally sent me the wrong part. So they said to wait for the right part to come in was too long and they'd charge me for storage for more than what I would save for the part. The mechanic also took this opportunity to call me retarded. And said that Jim would work with me on the price, since I couldnt pay over a grand on the spot. So I paid what I thought was half of the bill, and when I went today to pay the other half, he told me that I still had to make another payment in a month. Price is definitely not worth the service I received. Don't go here.
Jim is much more than a mechanic, he is a benevolent cult leader. He's strict, but lenient. Tough but tender. Shepherding his patrons. I trust him with my car. I trust him with my money. If he offers it, I will drink the Kool-Aid with confidence, resting assured that it will contain no artificial colors or flavors.
