Always fantastic service here. They actually make an effort to explain/ ensure you understand what needs to be fixed / what has been done - which I have never experience from other mechanics. Other mechanics are usually happy to take advantage of your lack of knowledge and overcharge you. But, when is comes to elite automotive repairs, they really are elite!!! I could not recommend them enough.
