**Do Not Recommend** It's really a shame that mechanics like this still exist. By that, I mean they prioritize their own profit over customer satisfaction, or even customer safety. I didn't get the repairs nor the service that I expected and have been cursing this shop daily (with every mile & crack in the road) since. It seemed as though nothing I ever said was heard nor listened to, unless it was turned around & misquoted for their own benefit. While I didn't catch them doing anything technically illegal (he was very careful to acquire the necessary permissions to do the work) it was certainly immoral. This shop lives up to the classic perceptions of mechanics taking advantage of less mechanically-minded customers. Don't leave your most prized possession in the hands of these charlatans. The sign above the door is a hand of playing cards & bluffing is what they did best. My first mistake was showing up to this mechanic... My second mistake was deciding to get any work done... My third mistake was listening to Tony's overpriced (& unnecessary) recommendations. Numerous times during our interactions, I wondered why he was speaking to me as if lying & hiding something - because he was. When Tony seemed overly "positive" about something innocuous, it was because he was hiding something else he didn't want me to know. Every bluffer has a "tell". After only one year of driving, the one part that needed fixing (replaced with cheap after-market parts against my stated preference) is now broken. My vehicle (which used to give me great joy to look at and to drive) is now a source of daily stress. Instead of increasing the longevity of the vehicle (my intention), they caused additional damage to the car with the contextless "you're gonna be the only one who notices" as my only departing clue. Since leaving "Ace" (so named for the 5th Ace hiding up their sleeve, not for their expertise) I have been ready to sell what used to be a car I'd hoped to keep for at least another decade. Do Not Trust Tony.
