THIS IS A COMPANY YOU CAN TRUST

Don't let the location or overall appearance of this place fool you. If you car is no longer under warranty, this is the place you should have all maintenance performed at. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and friendly, their prices are reasonable, they will provide you a list of recommended repairs before you leave, along with how soon you should have them done and their approximate cost. These guys have been here for decades and decades, and most importantly? This is a company you can trust.

SO PROFESSIONAL AND VERY EASY TO COMMUNICATE WITH

Highly recommended Todd's shop and so professional and very easy to communicate with. He is knowledgeable in servicing cars and has turned this shop around as the most recent owner. I needed a new Catalytic converter on my failed Gen 4 Prius. Using OEM parts is virtually important in California!!! Mine was blowing white smoke and I was told at my smog shop and bandage would not pass future inspections!! Parts are 4-8 weeks out and I'll wait. Keep up the great work and best to your future success!!!

I REALLY APPRECIATE THEIR SERVICE I WILL BE BACK

I went to budget muffler and brakes today to get an alignment after getting tires at Noah's. These are great guys running this place very thorough and professional I had to wait a little while but the alignment was an expensive and I really appreciate their service I will be back.

DID GREAT WORK ON MY CAR

Such a great experience, took my car in, and it was out in 2 hours for a custom exhaust. The owner was friendly and so was the crew. Did great work on my car and the prices ain’t that bad either! definitely will be going there for future car things
