Who runs the shop
One bay, three owners, no middlemen
The workshop opened in 2008 as a single bay with a second-hand lift and a borrowed compressor. It has been run by the same three technicians ever since.
Every car is looked at by the person who will repair it, and that person is on the phone when you call. We keep the shop small so that is always true.
We work on most makes from the last twenty-five years, and we say so plainly when a job belongs at a specialist.

They quoted $310, called me when the bushings turned out worse than expected, and the final bill matched what we agreed.
