Great professional and friendly service.

Highly recommend this small local business, Employees treat you like family and are personable. It was superb service!!

Nate replaced my alternator, a very pricey part on a BMW. Unfortunately my battery was getting low and not recharging which I guess wore my alternator out while I was driving from Sacramento to Aptos. I received the notice to pull over and get service. I called AAA and unfortunately they didn't have my battery and couldn't locate one but since my car would still start assured I could safely get to Aptos. Unfortunately I guess the trip drained the alternator and needed replacement. I needed to get back to Sacramento on Thursday and Nate fit me in and performed repairs in one day so far was ready on Wednesday. Second time I used Nate. They were highly recommend to me and even though my repairs were expensive I'm sure BMW would have charged me more.
