I finally found my go to neighborhood mechanic!! We have always done our auto repairs and services at the dealership but after multiple bad experiences and getting tired of spending $500-$4k whenever we took a vehicle in I was recommended to The Shop and not only did they do quality work but they explain in detail what work needs to be done, let you know if it's a costly repair for a minor issue that doesn't impact safety instead of just throwing a quote at you and telling you it's all necessary today. I honestly felt like I was taking advantage of them when I was given the total, even jokingly asked my husband what he thought it would be and his guess was hundreds more, when usually we are shocked at how high quotes were at the dealership. Highly recommend!! Very honest, straight forward and hard working guys!!

New to the area, and realizing I was overdue for an oil change I reached out to a few businesses. Curtis replied promptly, answered all my questions, does a thorough job with the oil change, went above and beyond, was really nice to talk with, and was reasonably priced. I highly recommend him.

I had an 04 4Runner that made some squeaking noises for a few days.
I'm like a concerned mother when it comes to my 4runner, so I wanted to make sure it wasn't anything major.
You know how they say don't look at WebMD when you have a headache?
I googled "squeak from right side of vehicle" and boy was that a bad idea.
I'm new to the area and didn't have my tools or a jack to try and be a youtube mechanic and diagnose it, so I called up several shops around the area, all of whom wanted to charge me just to take a look.
Curtis at The Shop said that was silly for a squeak - if it was something electrical, then that might make sense.
He'd take a look at it for free. Obviously, if it ended up taking a while, then we'd talk about how much it might cost to diagnose.
On the way over to The Shop, however, the noise went away. He still offered to take a drive and lift it up to rule out some possible causes.
I left 10 minutes later feeling a lot better about the vehicle's health and with a certainty that if I ever need any work done, The Shop would be my first stop.
Thanks Curtis!Helpful 0Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0 - Joanne Z.Barstow, CA09Feb 1, 2022

Curtis was so nice and helpful. I highly recommend going to The Shop. The Shop is conveniently located on 17th street. My tire happened to go low as I was driving by so I decided to turn in. Curtis was so nice to come out and help me.

I needed a quick fix on a technical spec that had changed for my car. Curtis was super-responsive, took care of my issue exactly as I asked, and was friendly and communicative throughout. Highly recommended.

My relationship with Curtis started by helping a friend who had need her radiator replaced, but didn't have a lot of cash to work with. The universe was nice enough to put a new radiator in my friends hands, but how was she going to install it. I called around to about 6 shops asking if they would be willing to install the new radiator. Every single one of them said No they would not. You need to buy our highly marked up products I order for us to the work. Well that's when I asked Curtis for a quote through Yelp.
Bam he replied that day stating it would to 1.5 to 2.0 hours and he'd be happy to assist. So a connect my friend with Curtis and she can't stop talking about how much integrity Curtis has. She said to me today. "A mechanic is a mechanic, what distinguishes a good mechanic from a great mechanic is their integrity."
She went back for belt issue with her car, once again super happy with his pricing and his communication skills. And she's taking a new vehicle she bought over the weekend to have it checked out. Although I personally have never used him, my friend Carly can't stop say what a great experience she's had with him.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
