Some would call a hidden gem in Kings Grant. From gas to car repairs. One of the true last full service station. For those of us who have appreciated the good old days of service stations, you'll appreciate this place. Check it out.

BEWARE! Took wife's 2017 car (51K miles) in for state inspection and Lee told us we needed front brakes and rotors because front brake pads measures 2/32 (this is the maximum wear limit per state insp guidelines). Estimate was about $500 to change out both pads and rotors. I spoke to Lee and asked him to simply change out the pads because we refused, claiming that he didn't want to have anyone come back complaining about "squealing" brakes and that the brakes would "sing like an opera star" if we didn't change out the rotors at same time. Lee refused to only change pads and failed the inspection. I ended up taking it to Firestone for a "2nd opinion" and told them I likely needed new front pads. Front left pad is at 3/32 and right is at 4/32. It passes inspection and the mechanic told us that there was no issue with the rotors AND no requirement per state inspection to change the pads. He recommended changing them soon since they are getting worn, but at this time, no need to spend the $200 to change the pads, much less $500 for both pads and rotors. BTW...car is getting traded to dealership in 2 weeks anyway, so thanks Chimney Hill Firestone for being fantastic and honest in your inspections. As for Lee at King's Grant Exxon...shame on you for being the quintessential up-charge mechanic that not only won't do what the customer asks, but falsely failing inspections just to take advantage of customers that may not know enough to question his results/recommendations.
