If you need your auto repaired or serviced you need to go here! I turned up on a Wednesday, no appointment. Engine was missing, engine light on, all the issues. The said they probably couldn't look at until Thursday evening, but they worked it in that afternoon. Called with the fix, suggested an additional fix that made sense given the age of the components. Also suggested a fix to a chronic problem (soft brakes). I was skeptical, but it was coming up time for a flush so they did that as well. Noticeable improvement in the brake pedal. Easy to do business with, fair and knowledgeable, Great service!

Rosalio checked out my girlfriend's 09 Toyota Matrix, which recently had it's engine replaced at another mechanic. He did a thorough diagnostic and gave us clarity on how to proceed. He identified a cracked timing chain tensioner and sealant on the timing chain. He offered to replace the tensioner to rule out any further issues. We didn't want to proceed, but he ended up trying a new tensioner anyway to get the car out of the way. It didn't work and Lio didn't charge us extra. He showed us he cares more about helping us to expedite a solution rather than trying to get more money out of us for his own gain. His shop provided us the clarity to pursued a new engine under warranty and get it replaced. Lio's quote was very reasonable, but unfortunately we have to shop around due to money constraints, especially since we'll be paying labor twice on this engine. We'll definitely be back to give him more business in the future. Don't hesitate to bring your car here -- I have full confidence in this shop.

I had a bad ignition coil causing my engine to misfire on one cylinder. The first mechanic I took it to told me the whole engine was shot, that my only option was to replace it and that it would cost $10k. I looked for alternatives and found Lio who said he could replace it for $5k but I asked him to do his own diagnosis before ordering a new engine. He found that it was just a bad ignition coil that only cost a few hundred bucks to repair. I’ve driven several thousand miles since the repair with no further issues. Appreciate his honesty and integrity, would recommend his services if you’re in need.
