  I took my vehicle here for a transmission flush and the turn around time was great. They did it correctly as how it should be done. Other local shops charged more and refused to remove the TC bolt to completely remove the old fluid. Ralph is a awesome!!! I recommend making an appointment because they are busy and I can see why.

  I drive a 2008 BMW 750LI and have been using Silvio for a couple years now. He always does a good job and is an honest mechanic. I had a quote for $4500 from him for a serious oil leak and consulted elsewhere and found out his price was still lower than other mechanics. Unfortunately, during this process, a less honest mechanic triggered some cooling system failures which led to me needing a complete new engine and the old one could no longer be repaired. Silvio's price to rebuild the entire engine was again very fair and my car is now running like new and I hope to get many more years out of it. I am always impressed by the quality of his work. I hate paying for a repairs only to find the work isn't done properly. He doesn't have much storage space, but his shop was understanding and didn't charge me any storage fee even though they were stuck with my car for over a week waiting for pickup. Sometimes the money you think you have access too isn't as accessible as you think it is.... I felt guilty so hey, I'll throw him this review for their patience and best of all, solid work. Update: one year later - unfortunately I was pouring oil in the car every 750 miles. It was found I had a small oil leak in the upper oil pan gasket. This is a serious flaw in the BMW design for this model, so not sure how much I can blame Silvio for that. But after spending 8500 on the engine, having an oil leak is kind of disconcerting. Not putting many miles on the car, I brought it back in 8 months later, but they didn't feel like it was their fault. I'm not sure about changing an engine, but seems like the upper oil pan gasket shouldn't have started leaking straight away (again, it is a design defect in this model car - it's part of why you don't see many on the road).

  Well, I have called others, not gotten a call back them, ate at Harry's 5 stars quality and service diner, stared at Silvio's Store front, then took a walk over to get to know who is who and what it is about. I must say, I am impressed with their price, cost, labor, poker face honesty and speedy service. They had my 87' 560SL done in a day... I will tell a few friends...

  The manager Jonathan was so pleasant to deal with. Definitely someone I trust with my vehicles. Highly recommend this place.

  This place is for rich people. If you can't afford to pay double the going rate for everything, go somewhere else. The diagnostic alone is $110. They may be good mechanics. I wouldn't know. I can't afford them.
