Be very careful with this place. I got my oil changed which was fine (hopefully) but they also told me I needed new brakes (rotors and pads). I was skeptical because I had these changed recently. I went to one of their competitors who was recommended to me to get a second opinion. That shop told me my brakes had at least another 2000 miles. Will definitely not go back.

Not sure if I just got unlucky here, but I had new shoes and pads put on my truck and it just created more problems. Everything seemed fine out of the shop, but within a couple weeks the brakes developed a violent shake and the rear drums would rub constantly. I had to make an emergency stop at another shop that diagnosed the problem as incorrectly adjusted brakes, particularly the rear drums. Unfortunately the entire system now needs to be replaced because of the damage caused by the incorrect installation. The shop may have made a mistake somewhere, because they seemed to be confusing my truck with another when I tried to describe the issue. All in all, a terrible and expensive experience.

Very legit. Been coming here for 7 years, always fair prices and good work. Worst problem is they are so busy but that is what happens when you're a solid shop that builds relationships!
