Tommy is very down to earth and does a great, honest job. Has an immense knowledge of the ins & outs of cars. He tells you like it is and isn’t trying to rip you off! Hard to find people like this anymore! 100% recommend

8500 dollars for a rebuilt engine,transmission, carb rebuild, heater core, and 2 years rusting at his shop even though I bought a cover that he never used and the van still doesn’t run. Then he tried to charge me 3500 for a paint job where the rust is coming through from improper prep. Don’t a waste of time and money.

Extremely rude and unhelpful. He (tommy) wrote a huge list of things to do to for my friends car and gave her a long sales pitch but she opted to only do what was absolutely needed. He was very rude and condescending the entire time we spoke. I recently went back to his shop with my own car and he refused to help and said it was because he didnt get much out of my friend last time. Dont waste your time go somewhere else

Tommy is a salesman and will sell you from the start. He comes off very knowledgeable but he's really bad at execution. All talk, no walk. No attention to detail. Its taken me a little time to post my opinion because I wanted to take some time away from my horrible experience and let my feelings settle. It's been longer then a month and I still feel like he stole money from me. I had to find another mechanic and spent another $1200 to fix the stuff he messed up. I paid $4000 dollars to him for some basic repairs on my 1966 Cadillac. My car worked before I brought it to him. My intent was to double down on the cars reliability. I wanted to update anything he could see causing issues in the future. Especially before it got painted. This was the wrong move on my part. His attention to detail is way below par. I feel like I did business with someone learning on the job. I still can't believe he runs a business like this. Everything he touched, he left his mark on and then some. My brake lights still don't work. My windshield wipers that did work, don't work now. My high beam dash light won't turn off. He fried electrical stuff. He didn't space the distributor right and it failed the day I picked it up the first time. I have to turn my headlights on just to start my car. He changed out the front end (tire rod ends, upper and lower control arm bushing) and didn't even take the time to align the car before he sent me on down the road in it. Keep in mind all this stuff was fine before he touched it. He was just updating things before they became an issue. It took him 60+ days to perform 20 hours worth of work all said and done with. I'm going to give it another month and if I still feel the way I do today I will be reporting him to the bureau of automotive repair because I feel so taken advantage of. Don't risk it with him. Do your homework.
