Ben was great. He was polite, arrived early, and took extra time to make sure issues were fixed where and demonstrate he knew more about the vehicles being worked on than prior mechanics. Ben is going to be my "go to guy" for future service work. I was very impressed.

HIRE NOW. For sure, he's all business when it comes to fixing your car. If that's all you care about, then he will get the job done, and it will be done RIGHT and without burning a hole in your wallet. He knows inside-out what is in the technical repair manuals...and then some. About his customer service - let me just say that this man provides it from both his heart and his love for fixing cars. You could not possibly run into a more friendly person/mechanic. If asked, he will certainly walk you through everything he is about to do, and rest assured, you will not run into hidden costs. If you talk to him, you will almost forget that you called him out to do a job - he's that friendly. Professional and easy-going... Call Ben. This is the kind of mechanic you want on your side because you can actually trust and talk with him. Even if you're the type to go to shops and dealerships for service, call Ben if you want a second honest opinion. He's definitely my go-to mechanic, and my first choice.

It is sad that we let our cars "go" like we sometimes let our health "go" because we don't trust mechanics or doctors! I would like to say my mechanic mentality has CHANGED! When my Volvo put-putted into my driveway I thought, Oh Lord, this is going to cost a fortune. I used Your Mechanic a month ago on another car and had pretty good service with Chris V. I decided to take the plunge again to at least get the $70 diagnostic testing. When Ben arrived I was pretty scared that I was going to be out thousands of dollars, but to my surprise, I was back on the road under $175!!!!! Ben was fabulous, sweet, kind, honest, fast, thorough and an ex-marine! I made a new friend in him and feel stress-free knowing I can count on him in the future if needed!
