I would recommend to any family, friend, or colleague. These mechanics are honest, hardworking, and respectable. Chris gave me a fair estimate and at the end he didn't tag on any random fees. Gary worked on my car and did a great job.

Thank you Tim and Chris for doing a same day oil change/A service on my Mercedes C250... I also saved a significant amount versus using the dealership for service.
