0/5 came here to get some new brakes put on my car and they completely cut my brake line. at the first red light leaving, i crashed my car due to not being able to brake. and this was just the most recent time. last time i was here they tried to over charge me for an oil change and a new set of tires, and when i picked up my car i noticed multiple things missing out of my vehicle that they refused to replace or even compensate for. overall terribly run business and nobody should come here

⭐ 0/5 – THIS PLACE RUINED MY LIFE ⭐ If I could give this place negative stars, I would. I took my car in for a simple oil change, and somehow, they managed to set my windshield wipers on fire. When I asked how that was even possible, the mechanic just shrugged and said, “That’s just how it be sometimes.” After waiting six hours in their crusty lobby (which smelled like burnt rubber and broken dreams), they finally told me my car was “ready.” I walked outside, and not only was my car still on the lift, but it was also missing three of its tires. When I asked where my wheels went, the manager handed me a Lime scooter and a $5 coupon for my “inconvenience.” By the time I left, my check engine light was on, my radio only played Drake’s sad songs on shuffle, and for some reason, my horn made the exact same sound as a voice crack mid-“Started From the Bottom.” This place is cursed. Would not recommend unless you enjoy trauma and financial ruin.

Terrible Experience - Avoid This Shop! I took my car to this mechanic shop hoping to get a simple repair done, but I ended up with nothing but frustration. First off, they took way longer than promised—what should’ve been a one-day fix turned into a week of waiting with no updates unless I called them first. When I finally got my car back, not only did they not fix the original issue properly, but I also found new problems. It was clear that the work wasn’t done right, and to make matters worse, the staff was rude and dismissive when I pointed it out. They acted like I was the one causing the problem! I had to take my car to another shop to get the job done right, and they found several mistakes made by these guys. Don’t waste your time or money here. There’s no accountability, and they clearly don’t care about their customers. Would not recommend to anyone. Do yourself a favor and find a more reliable mechanic.

Charged me triple for the parts I needed. Unprofessional and just overall bad business. The Vikings O-line is more reliable than this shop. They might as well take me out to dinner if they are going to screw me over this hard.

Stay loyal to them they’ll stay loyal to you!! It’s hard to find a shop that truly cares and I’m super picky when it comes to bringing my car anywhere. They reassure you and answer every question. As well as Kenny is amazing at getting back to you considering how busy they are. 5x stars

This place is bad business. They must pay for good reviews. Unprofessional, rude, and never owns up to any mistakes on their part so always take pics and videos before you bring your vehicle here! You’ve been warned!

This place was amazing!! I had an extremely rare issue with my vehicle. And everyone else turned me away or could not fix it. So I came here, and they immediately took me in and fixed it right away. The only concern is pricing, I had a spring replacement on the inside of the console area. The part was $50.00. I ended up paying $375.00 just to have it fixed. So, $325.00 for labor?

Very good experience with this place. 10/10 My car needed new shocks and struts after hitting a pothole. The shop I went to, Firestone, did not properly install them and when I went back to them, they overlooked the problem and insisted on me getting new ball joints put in for almost $500 after already spending $1600 with them. After that, I went to Bhatti Group asking for new ball joints because their prices were great. They took a look and said I did not need new ball joints, the struts were just improperly installed causing a really bad squeaking sound every time I went over a bump. They were very honest and respectful. I really appreciate their honesty because they did not charge me for something I didn t even need. I will go to them for future car problems for sure! Thanks to them I was able to get a refund at the other place!! Thank you!!!!

Worst spot ever. Charged me double for that I was initially charged for. Will never return. The person working on the car is extremely unprofessional and delay the time when the car was SUPPOSED TO BE READY without any warning so I have to delay my time to wait for my vehicle. The man literally talks down to us like we do not know a thing about cars and tries to gaslight us into paying more. If I can give a zero star or NEGATIVE STAR I will. They don t even deserve a one star review.

I passed by yesterday and they gave me an appointment for today at 12:00 pm and when it arrived I arrived early it was 11:45 pm when I arrived my husband got off and went in and there was nothing we were waiting until 1:45 pm and they never attended to us for the appointment. The inspection was horrible, the treatment, the owner is very arrogant with a dog-like face, he doesnt greet anyone. It is the worst place to take your car, I do not recommend it to anyone.

I just want to thank the owner (I think that s who helped me out). I was passing Albany on a 6 hour drive when something happened to one of my wheel bearings. I found the auto shop on google maps and called 10 mins before closing and they told me to come in and helped me out. I was able to get home to my destination safely. Thank you!

I had an appointment at 8.30 in the morning and I was there on time. They took the car in at 11 am. Only the rear brakes were going to be changed. It is now 16:30 and I am still here. It is far from mastery. No one knows what they are doing or what they should do. I have never seen such a ridiculous place in my life. They made me pay for their own incompetence. They are robbers and serve no purpose other than wasting time and money. My hand break was working and now don t work.

Kenny s a friendly tech. He answers all of my car questions, even ones I feel are redundant of me to ask. He helped me problem solve a recent misfire in my engine. The service is great, at least for me. They get me in and out the day I bring in my car. Had an oil change done, three diagnostics (all done on separate days, as we tried to problem solve the root of the engine code issue) I got new spark plugs and an ignition coil changed out and that only took 2.5 or 3 hrs at most.

I was sent here to get NEW tires. AFTER getting my tires changed my TPMS light was on. I live two hours away from this place. It wasn t possible for me to go back and I m finding out that the sensor on one of the tires is broken and also I m being told I need new tires again. I got my tires changed at the end of October 2021. It s ONLY been TWO months. It s IMPOSSIBLE to need new tires! Just to call and for him to LIE and say that he told me to get a wheel alignment which is a LIE, also if KNOWING you need a wheel alignment after getting your tires changed WHY NOT DO THE SERVICE at the garage if you OFFER WHEEL ALIGNMENTS. I am VERY VERY VERY VERY DISSATISFIED with this place and the people and I will NEVER go back.

I brought my vehicle here after weeks of not knowing the real issue and they figured it out the same day. After taking some time for insurance reimbursement , they were able to get the parts and fix the car within 5 days. Hospitality and kindness was top tier here, and the issue with my car was no longer. They replaced a driveshaft and a brand new transmission in a BMW for under 2500 bucks. Cant beat it

They go above and beyond for their customers and Im so grateful to have found this place. Other places were trying to rip me off.

I was charged $2500 to get my bumper and grille and a few other things fixed/replaced. Because of a misunderstanding with my insurance I had to pay the balance out of pocket which was not an issue. I was told that my car would be fixed within 2-3 days but I didnt actually get my car until 2.5 weeks later and the communication was terrible. The owner kept telling me that it would be done later that day but the whole day would pass and I would hear nothing from him this continued for many days. I eventually went to the shop and seen he hadnt worked on the car at all but keot telling me it would be done by the end of the day. The pieces were sitting in and around my car. He said he would fix my tire for free for the inconvenience but in the end tried to charge me when I never asked him to fix it. It was a very frustrating experience. I receiced my car without the fog light intact. He said he would call when he gets the part and it was included in the original 2500 he charged. He also tried to charge me close to $2,800 in the end to include taxes but he had forgotten that he already included taxes in the $2500. It is now 5 months later and still nothing. I would never bring my car here again or recommend anyone else to. Im just glad to have my car up and running again.
