      I brought my vehicle in because it was making a loud ticking noise and engine was idling rough. They suggested it was lifters and rockers within the engine then they put it back together and test drove it today and said the noise is still there and they dont resolve my problem and want to charge me an insane price for not being able to fix it and not knowing what is causing it without charging me even more to begin with. Meanwhile this has taken the whole month of January as if my vehicle is not a priority at all . They also lied on the phone ( a recorded line ) saying they checked the spark plugs and they were good but when speaking to the mechanic DJ at the store front today when I went in for pick up he said he never even pulled them to check them .

      DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR TO THIS PLACE!!! My 85 year old mother and I brought her car here, because it's right down the street. (She had known the previous owner over 30 years). She got an oil change, air filters, tire rotation and brake fluid exchange. All of this cost her $700! The guy said their labor rate is $170-something per hour!They also told her that her transmission was leaking and needed to be fixed which was labor intensive and would be $2800!!! After taking the car to another trusted mechanic who power washed the undercarriage and then told her to drive it for 2 weeks and then come back and he would check it again. This mechanic told us there was absolutely NO LEAK at all. (And his labor rate is $120 per hour). My mother was so relieved about not having to spend $2800! And her car is a 2018 Corolla. No chance this car had a transmission leak.I don't know who the owners of this place are now, BUT IT SCREAMS ELDER ABUSE!!! Taking advantage of an elderly woman to try to scam her out of almost $3,000. This place is a trap for the unknowing elderly. I would give this place ZERO stars if I could.
