On 11/14/2025 Leonardo M. had this to say:
I walked in with two wheels from my '73 Karmann Ghia. They did a great job balancing them; these are vintage wheels, and even the hub is kind of a pita to reinstall. Old school family-owned garage, I will return.

On 10/31/2025 Jeff Reid had this to say:
Best mechanic in area. Very reasonable and friendly.

On 10/4/2025 Nora Alter had this to say:
I met Joe through a friend’s recommendation about 10 years ago. For this, I have thanked her many times over. If you are looking for honesty and integrity, Joe is the person you can count on. Nothing car related bothers me because I can call Joe. He will take care of it fairly and quickly, what a stress reliever! If you have any car issues, give Joe a call and you will see what I mean!
