    Honest shop for transmission work

    Took my truck in for a slipping transmission. Sam took the time to show me exactly what was wrong. Very transparent and fair.

    Saved me a lot of money

    Dealer said I needed a whole new transmission. Brought it here, and Sam fixed the solenoid in a few hours. Absolute legend.

    Average experience with simple service

    Got an oil change and tire rotation. Everything was fine, but they left a greasy handprint on my door handle. Not ideal.

    Fast and friendly service

    Needed an alternator fast. They had the part in stock and got me back on the road before the end of the day. Thanks guys!

    Extremely slow repair job

    Brought my sedan in for a simple radiator hose replacement. It took four days, and they didn't communicate a single update to me.

    Dependable repair work

    Been coming here for a year. Always polite, work is done on time, and they provide detailed invoices which I appreciate.

    These guys are the best

    Found my new permanent shop. Sam is so knowledgeable about older engines. He fixed my pickup when nobody else could figure it out.

    Highly skilled mechanics here

    These guys really know their stuff. Fixed a tricky electrical issue on my van that the big dealership completely missed twice.

    Solid local repair shop

    Good experience overall. They diagnosed my check engine light quickly and the price for the part was reasonable. No complaints.

    Good honest mechanics in Hawthorne

    They fixed my brake issue for a fair price. Sam is a straight shooter. Just wish they had Saturday hours for pickup.

    Reliable work on my SUV

    Sam's shop is my go-to for suspension work. Good parts, fair labor costs, and they actually know what they are doing.

    Excellent service and pricing

    Sam and his crew are great. They treat you like family and never try to sell you stuff you don't actually need.

    Work was not done correctly

    Had a belt replaced but it started squeaking again within two days. Had to bring it back and they seemed annoyed about it.
