This place is a hole-in-the-wall near the truck rental place HandyAndy's) not far from the Evergreen-Washelli cemetery. If I hadn't recently bought used tires from the other hole-in-the-wall next to it, I wouldn't have seen it.

I went in totally convinced that I needed front brake shoes replaced, and maybe rotors replaced or turned. I asked that they do what was necessary, and to give me a time-to-live on the rear brakes (guess what - I was extremely strapped for cash). Since I had bought the car used, I was basing that on the recent owner's guesses.

Turns out, they showed me that the rear brakes had hardly been worn at all, as they were not touching the drums, and the front brakes were not even halfway through their lifecycle. They adjusted the rear brakes -- I even have a parking/emergency brake working now -- and charged me less than their posted hourly rate. (total bill $30 plus tax)

They could have milked me. I authorized them to do work that I'm sure any other place would have taken advantage of. I would give them 5 stars, but this wasn't exactly a mechanical miracle, bet definitely honest competent service.  As the 4-star caption says, "Yay! I'm a fan."
