*BEWARE* Of this “MECHANIC” HE WILL OVERCHARGE YOU
!!!HE WILL NOT FIX THE ISSUE BUT STILL CHARGE AS IF HE DID!!! I RECENTLY HAD A ISSUE WITH MY AUDI OVERHEATING AND I CALLED THIS MECHANIC SINCE HE HAD GOOD REVIEWS. SO AFTER SPEAKING WITH HIM HE SEEMED VERY NICE AND KNOWLEDGEABLE, SO I TRUSTED HIM AND LET HIM REPLACE THE SENSOR AND A DAY LATER HE CALLS ME AND QUOTES ME 300 DOLLARS AND CHANGE FOR THE WORK AND SENSOR AND I SPOKE WITH HIM A DAY LATER AND HE RECOMMENDED ME TO GET A OIL CHANGE WHICH I ALWAYS DO AT AUDI BUT I LET HIM DO IT HE DIDNT QUOTE ME A PRICE FOR THE OIL CHANGE BUT I FIGURED IT WOULD BE LESS THAN THE DEALERSHIP BUT NO HIS OIL CHANGE COST ME ALMOST 200 DOLLARS AND HE DID NOTHING SPECIAL. UNLESS YOU LIKE THROWING MONEY AWAY ON SOMEONE WHO WILL OVERCHARGE YOU TO *NOT FIX* YOUR CAR I WOULDN’T RECOMMEND THIS MECHANIC. AND HE REQUEST YOU SIGN A PAPER AT THE BEGINNING SO IF HE WANTS TO ADD TO THE BILL HE CAN PUT AS MUCH AS HE WANTS!!!

Transmission Repair
I recently moved to the area and was in need of a trustworthy mechanic. I went to Mike because I saw the positive reviews here, so now it's my turn to share. Mike has already helped me out a ton and saved me money. He's handled all the necessary repairs with ease and gave me lots of helpful advice. My car is now running smoothly, and I have no problem vouching for Mike and his work. He knows his stuff, and he's a nice guy too.

Engine Repair
Everything you could want in a mechanic: honest, competent, quick, affordable. Sanford was able to quickly diagnose a major problem that I had had with my car for years and had me up and running within a day. He even drove me home when my wife wasn't able to pick me up. I would easily recommend him to anyone looking for a mechanic and I plan on using Sanford for all my future car repairs.
