Client testimonials

John Babbitt

Customer

I've been bringing my bmws to Sean for 15 years. It would be wonderful if these cars were not so expensive to maintain but Sean and Fred have taken the worst out that for me. I have saved a lot of money vs the dealership, for as good or better service and also helpful advice on things like when to move on to a newer model. I trust these guys and their mechanics.

Customer

Honest and trustworthy service in my opinion. If any follow up is needed I trust I will feel the same way. They took care of the repairs in a timely fashion and saved me some additional day expenses on a rental car. Of all car repairs are expensive, wish it had been cheaper, but I felt they were upfront about the cost of the repairs.

All I can say is this shop is a find! I had major problems occur with my Jaguar and my Toyota within thirty hours of each other. I found a very high level of integrity here, matched only by their mechanical competence and thoroughness. A.J. Zuanich
