Just had Oscar look at a car we were having issues with. Had taken it to another shop in town approximately a year ago and have found that some of the work needed to be redone. Oscar and his team were honest about what needing doing, and the price was fair, and his turn around and availability was honestly communicated and speedy! The car sounds better than it did before the issue occurred. We very much appreciate his approach, and also the cute doggo in his office. Thank you!
