The first issue last summer was non matching colored brake calipers, whatever, returned and sorted out. After that the final straw was the Rear complete struts for my 09 rx350. Installed making noises in the pistons day of. When winter time rolls around, the cheap rubber mounts make every loud squeaking rubber sound imaginable, changing tune the colder it gets. Beginning to understand never put aftermarkets parts these days on your pride and joy, ESPECIALLY SUSPENSION PARTS. And good mechanics will lie to your face when it’s convenient for them, (gas-lit into believing the new noises were not the new complete struts).

In the past 18 months I have bought 2 batteries there, a few tools, and a steering pump for a 1980 car. I have gotten some great advice and always been treated with respect professionalism and courtesy, even when asking stupid questions :)
Let's make sure we all make a point to purchase there; the store may be part of a chain, but it feels like and runs like everyone there is our...
Read moreThese guys have consistently gone above and beyond for my friends and I without fail since this place opened. They're well educated about their products, they're very friendly, very helpful, and their service and expertise is exceptional. I've also never once left without the part or thing I need in hand because they've got everything.
