I’ve been going to The Garage for years and generally trusted their work, but my most recent experience left me disappointed. I brought in my 2019 Acura TLX because two warning lights came on: “Emissions System Problem” and “Electric Parking Brake Problem.” They charged me over $230 for a diagnostic check, and I was surprised to learn that this fee isn’t applied toward the repair if you choose to move forward. Their recommendation was to replace the part connecting the gas tank to the cap. The quoted price for the part alone was about $450, whereas I found the same part online for around $225 (plus labor). The overall estimate for repair was close to $1,000. Before agreeing, I got a second opinion from another mechanic, who simply suggested resetting the warning lights first. That’s what I did, and it cost about $225 total. Two weeks later, I’m still driving with no issues and the lights never returned. When I asked The Garage why both lights would appear at once, they said it’s common for multiple warnings to come on to prevent driving—but several mechanics I spoke with afterward told me they had never heard of that explanation. It left me feeling like The Garage was recommending a costly repair without fully confirming the root cause. This is disappointing, especially since I’ve trusted them for years. I hope this was just an isolated experience, but it’s worth noting for anyone considering service here.

The best mechanic I've ever been to. I had a problem with my car starting and stopping and I was sure it was a serious issue - but Danny and the crew at The Garage just needed to tighten a few bolts and did it free of charge. I wouldn't hesitate to bring my car back in the future for honest and helpful service. Thank you!

Highly recommend The Garage! They’re professional, experienced, friendly. After having multiple sub-par experiences with the Volvo service center, The Garage was a breath of fresh air

Came to The Garage on a referral and had a great experience. Scheduling online for maintenance or other work was very easy and convenient. Drop off was smooth. I went first thing Monday morning and there was no wait. Check in was quick and the staff were very friendly. A couple hours after drop-off I received an inspection report with all the inspection and testing details, along with photos. The report is color coded red yellow green to show urgency. If there is recommended service, the price is listed and you can opt to have them complete the work or wait. When the service was done I got another alert with final work order and payment request. I paid in advance and when I picked came back for the car I was in and out in a couple minutes. Overall very happy with The Garage and the service there.

I was very impressed with the high degree of transparency in the services done and at a reasonable price! I had visibility to every step in the process with pictures and documentation included. I plan to use The Garage in the future and will recommend my friends and family do the same!

Great service every time I’ve brought my car here. Honest about what needs to be repaired now vs. what should be repaired soon. Excellent communication and clear on what you’re paying for. Never feel pressured or upsold on services.
