Went in on a recommendation, did not disappoint. Got oil change, oil leak, right indication light, exhaust issue and tires rotated. Price was totally fair. They are honest and we’re up front about my issues with great/fast communication and turn around time. Will definitely return. Price was less than I expected. 5/5

You’re supposed to be able to rely on a mechanic when buying a car. I was looking at a car being sold from ‘MLB Motor Sales’, a used car dealership next to this shop. I told them I would only consider buying the car once it’s been looked at by a mechanic. The salesman agreed and talked to the owner of this shop who managed to squeeze me in for a pre purchase inspection.
They looked at the car and said besides needing new brake pads and a minor oil leak, the car was in good condition. They charged me $140 for this inspection. Based on their assessment, I decided to purchase the car.
I went to get the car safetied. It did not pass as the rear subframe of the car was rotted. It also needed a new serpentine belt, rear sway bar link, front lower control arm bushings and the exhaust was wrapped in tape to cover a leak.
The mechanics who looked at the car did not mention any of this to me. So they’re either not very good mechanics or they purposely ignored these flaws. I’m guessing this shop is working with the dealership in order to trick people into buying unsafe cars.
The owner of this shop and the dealership seem to have a good relationship. Why would you ruin that by being honest with a car buyer about a vehicle they’re buying? If you tell them the car is junk, you’ve just lost the dealership a few thousand dollars.
TL;DR: I can’t recommend these mechanics as I don’t find them to be honest. Especially when it comes to inspecting cars being sold from their neighbouring used car dealership.

10/10 experience with Onkar and the team. I’ve taken multiple vehicles with a range of issues and the prices have been beyond fair and the service has not caused me any issues. Highly recommend. Thank you again

Honest and reliable. I always feel comfortable going there, I feel very safe talking with them and they are super respectful.
