Remarkable shop. They did a diagnostic for free and confirmed that yes, there were problems with the transmission. Then, rather than quoting a new replacement, they researched and priced a used unit, but forewarned me that even with that, the cost would be likely too high for the value of the car. They were right. All that effort on my behalf with no benefit forthcoming to them. If you are looking for an honest analysis with no hidden agenda, go to these guys. Speak with Lenin who runs it. (Marx and Engels were not around the day I was there. Probably off doing something bougie like skiing.)

I had a great experience with Lennon. Amazing customer service. I got my guy here with electrical problem. He was polite friendly explain to me exactly what we need. Really highly recommended.

Lennon and his team are amazing! They did a free check up on my transmission and Lennon was transparent with pricing and how long it would take to fix. Will definitely be back if my car needs servicing again, thank you!

I brought my truck in, worried about a potential transmission issue. The team took the time to inspect it thoroughly, and after a detailed look, they determined there was currently nothing wrong. What makes this experience truly exceptional is that they charged no fee for the inspection, made zero attempt to upsell me, and didn't try to fix a non-existent problem. That level of honesty and integrity is incredibly rare and highly valued. They've earned a loyal customer for life. If and when I do need transmission work, this is the only shop I will be taking my business to. Highly recommended for their transparency and excellent service!

I took my Nissan Versa to this place based on their positive online reviews. They did NOT disappoint! Working with Lenin was easy and pleasant. They were prompt with a FREE diagnostic check and gave their honest opinion in regards to the necessary repairs, even if it meant they would not be getting any business from my car situation. I really appreciate that kind of honesty and will be taking my other vehicles here for service. Car repairs can be such a headache, but this place is a gem! Support this local mom and pop place!
