Owner is Tanner Byrom of the Legendary Big House Band & the Byrom Brothers also. I used to be a huge fan of Car Talk on NPR, had a 280z car, a 289 Mustang, and a Firebird. I love this place!

Adam is a great mechanic. He saved me at least half of what other mechanics had quoted me. He also took car of other problems that he had found. My 1969 Chevelle runs better than it ever has. The Muncie M-22 Rock Crusher 4-speed that he installed, so easily, runs great! I will use him for all of my car repairs.

Very nice people. I had a problem finding a oil temp sensor which was throwing a code. I got stumped. Lol. But took it in for a diagnostic and they found the sensor and switched it out. But it wasnt the problem. It end up being the wiring to the sensor. Which I checked after the check light came back on and fixed it my self. So in all the wasnt all a waste of taking it there. He pinned pointed the sensor for me, just failed to check the connector for fray wires. Good mechanic and very knowledgeable. He meant well just every one drops the ball once a while.

Drove a long way to purchase an old sports car and found this place to do an inspection. Great $85 spent. Got the impression Adam absolutely knew what he was talking about. Told me the car wasnt going to pass smog and he wouldnt charge me to check it. Long list of current and potential problems. Seller made it seem like it was a weekend car, not his project drag car. Oh well. Thanks Adam.

Let me put it this way, if they cant figure it out youre going to be in for trouble. They always look out for you and try to get you the best prices on parts that are needed. No run around, straight forward and honest. Shop techs are wizards, reception is very friendly. They can fix it, smog, and generalge get it done. They figured out my wifes AC when the techs at the dealership couldnt. Theyve helped me out immensely on more then 1 occasion when I couldnt resolve the problem. Theres a reason why they are rated so high, because they are good.

Review №22

They gave me estimates of Two oxygen sensor replacement for $1135. Totally ripped off. Even though I wanted to do it but they said go somewhere else because I disagreed at the first time. Poor customer service. They charged me $89 for diagnostic test and did not give the diagnostic report. Just Avoid this place.

Had dash warning lights flashing. Was referred to Adam... Adam was so very nice and determined. Didnt fix it on first visit of 3 days and $523.85. Drove it 40 miles and 2 days later it did it again. Took it back... talked to Adam and asked how much this time. Adam specificallt quoted $320.00 and l confirmed asking a second time and Adam said $320.00. After a week was told my vehicle was ready. Karen, office clerk advised me l owed $580.00. I responded oh no Adam told me $320.00. Karen was not so nice of a person when l questioned the cost. Karen announced as she was getting up well l will go get Adam and you can deal with.him with quite a nasty tone. Adam and l had a nice professional conversation in front of Karen and under her breath she said l dont want to hear that from her againI asked Adam to step outside thanking him and advising him that Karen is quite rude. He responsed there have been complaints about her. My 2nd visit total was $361.50....I think Karen needs an attitude adjustment....Im praying after 10 days at the shop and almost $1000.00 my vehicle us repaired.I contacted owner advising got an im sorry and was advised his work was warrantied but no offer of warranty whn l had to take it back after 40 miles. I was advised on the first visit l needed a stronger battery and again asked for battery warranty and no response from owner about it.

Usually good repairs on anything automotive. They go the extra mile to get a car or truck to pass Ca. smog. You will pay a little more than other places, but the job will be done right.

Awesome experience, good to see that there is a real repair shop that diagnose problems instead of just changing parts until the problem goes away. Many thanks and well worth the money.

They are a rip-off. Never go there unless you like to be ripped-off. They have hardly any space to drive or park around their shop They do not even have a place for you to sit comfortably while your car is looked at, and it is not a safe place to leave your car or your family there. They charge way higher than the competition just to do a smog test, they dont honor competitor coupons, and they dont offer re-test if your car doesnt pass. If your car was not OBD2 ready because you didnt drive long enough after a service, they will charge you money even without doing anything and you are supposed to wait until your OBD2 drive-cycle is complete and then come back to them to pay again to be smog certified. This was my worst experience ever at an automotive service business. Never going back again ever.
