I called him on the phone and he told me the issue was the alternator with certainty and confidence. This was impressive because I described the exact same problem in detail to multiple other mechanics and all were unable to give me an exact diagnosis or a guaranteed estimate over the phone. I confirm the alternator was the issue via AAA diagnostics. Today I completed the alternator repair with a friend, and the car is running well. For more complicated repairs this will be the shop I go to from now on. He demonstrated expertise, and unmatched candor over the phone.

I took my car to V to have him replace my brakes and inspect a few other issues. He called me an hour later and told me the brakes were perfect and didnt need replacing. Charged me nothing. Its so rare to find someone this reliable and trustworthy in the industry. Thanks V!

Excellent service! Extremely kind and efficient, and he barely charged me anything for a pre-purchase inspection.

The mysterious man known simply as V (Peter Mitchells mechanical heir) is an honest, hardworking mechanic, who is known and loved by locals. one of the kid of guys who might just point out what;s wrong with your car that you can fix yourself, rather than make money off your ignorance. Refreshing in a field filled with scam artists. I recommend him for all auto repairs.

Donald is prompt, honest, inexpensive, and personable. A low-overhead neighborhood guy with a personal touch and a commitment to doing it right as inexpensively as he can. He has kept my Mazda van happy for at least ten years. He was recommended to me by a friend who sells Hondas - thats a recommendation.

Donald is a amazing guy. Brought my cars in for service and minor problems. He took the time to check my car issues and explain what options I have. He was never pushy and always gave his honest opinion. Hard to find real mechanics like him these days.

I took my car to this place because the check engine light came on and the car was jolting and failing to shift gears. V dropped what he was doing and immediately ran out to my car and did a diagnostic test for FREE. He encouraged me to hold off on repair unless necessary because it would cost appx $800, and he turned off my check engine light and told me to come back if it happened again.When it did, he once again stopped what he was doing and ran to my car to do the diagnostic test. Though I did not get any work done because of needing to go directly to my car dealer, I highly recommend this place!I have never been so impressed with a mechanics promptness and honesty. V obviously works hard and truly values his customers. I plan on going to him for every issue I have in the future!

I cant say enough good things about this place. A guy named V took it over from Peter years ago. He knows cars inside and out. Hes as honest as they come.

Vee is one of my favorite persons ever!! He is so nice and helpful for a car newbie like me. Really honest too -- he tells you when you dont need the repair, he doesnt try to upsell you ever!
