Been going here for years. The new owner is one of the original partners from many years back. This place does quality work and the techs know their stuff, but they're not cheap.
The techs are mostly (if not all) the same before the recent change in management, so if you're concerned about the experience of the technicians under the new management, you don't need to be.
Traditionally, they specialize in Hondas/ Acuras, but that isn't the case any longer. They offer services for many different makes. I, however, can only vouch for their services on Hondas/ Acuras.
Update Feb 2023. The business is closed. George (the owner) has retired.

Ok so my car was having some problems with the engine so I brought it here. I'm told that I need a new engine after a week of my car being in their care. I'm already annoyed that my car has been there that long and it took them that long to give me any info. It's not drivable and I'm not in a place to do much about it. So they say they are ordering the new engine so I try to be as patient as possible because last year there was a shortage for car parts and I was trying to be patient. After about a MONTH with me getting on them they can't even tell me an order number or company to track the engine that they ordered (they didn't). They start to ignore my calls and don't answer with I'm there. At the roughly 2 month mark I finally get some picture of an engine next to my open car with no engine inside. The picture was poor quality and I couldn't see well. At 3 months I'm being fully ignored and they wouldn't answer other numbers I was calling with and they wouldn't answer the doors. So I had enough and I brought a tow truck and my brother for help. I had to threaten to call the authorities for them to finally give me my car back and you guessed right it had no engine, not even the original which doesn't make any sense to me. I even looked it up around the time I called for the tracking number and there were a good amount of that type available. So now I'm left with a car with no engine and I have to pay another mechanic to fix this. With money I don't have. So money to these guys. Money to the towing company. Now money to another mechanic. I can't afford this living in this state as you can imagine.

This place will try and rip you off when needing small fixes like changing a headlight. Don't trust what they say with prices. They told me a lot of unnecessary work was needed when it wasn't.
