Took my 05MDX here for suspension work. They did a great job for a great price. Much better than dealing with a commercial company. I’ll be bringing all my vehicles here in the future. Not many shops like them left.

One of the best import repair shops in the county

On 7/25/2023 Joseph Nance had this to say:
This place is a bit off the normal path when you think automotive repair but is the perfect place to take your vehicle if you live in the Middletown, Anchorage area. The staff are extremely knowledgeable and friendly. They are able to work on both domestics and imports including, Mercedes, BMW, Volkswagen, and Audi. The prices are extremely fair compared to the normal repair shops. Highly recommend and will return.
