This place really knows what they are talking about. I took my car in there for four new tires, and instead i got an alignment and 4 used tires. They saved me almost 1000 dollars. The Indian man up front is so smart that he makes me feel slow, but he really knows what he is talking about. The lady up front is the sweetest person ever. I would recommend their service to everyone I know!

As someone who works in the car world and is very cautious when it comes to mechanics, I can say hands down these guys are the best! Everyone I met was friendly, helpful, patient and went out of their way for me. The work required for my car required a lot of investigation to discover the issue and could have cost thousands to fix, but Bill researched a more affordable resolution that got the job done and hopefully will prevent the issue from arising again! If you need anything done, be it a simple oil change or a huge, complex job Milex is the place to bring your vehicle. I will never go anywhere else and when someone needs a mechanic this is where I will send them. Thanks Bill & Kimmy, you guys are brilliant!
