“Just brakes did a phenomenal job in changing my brakes and rotors. The owner of this shop is extremely professional and provides 100% satisfaction to his customers. I highly recommend it!”
“Brought my car in to have a muffler installed and work was done extremely professionally and in a very timely manner. Staff were super friendly as well. 100/10 will definitely be recommending to friends in the future.”
“I would like to commend Andy for his exceptional service during my recent visit. He graciously accommodated me on a Saturday, despite my walk-in status, and provided me with an excellent deal for a set of four new tires. Initially, I had only intended to seek repairs for punctured tires; however, Andy's expertise and guidance led me to make a more informed and safer decision regarding my vehicle. Additionally, he included a complimentary alignment, which further enhanced the value of my purchase. I am extremely appreciative of his assistance and recommendations.”
“A couple of great experiences with these guys. No one would attempt to remove a ten year old wrap from my
porsche, they did it flawlessly for a reasonable rate. Came
in because my tailgate had come off, fixed on the spot no charge. Honest dependable quality folks.”
“I had this slow leak in one of my tires for a few days. When I noticed it I had took a pump with me to keep pumping it up until Friday when I was off work to get it fixed. I needed the tire repaired on Friday, because I was leaving town over the weekend. I tried a couple shops in the area, some of which I had been a customer at over the past many years. None could do it right then, everyone was busy or understaffed. Come back tomorrow, later today, etc. That happens, but it's also just a slow leak, and I need help right now.
Finally I ended up at this place. They took the tire off, found the tiny little piece of metal, pulled it out, plugged it, put the tire back on, I paid, and I was good to go for the weekend. Probably less than 15 min. Now that is awesome service. Definitely coming back as needed.”
“I have been taking my cars and trucks here for years and have never felt any negative energy, they do great work for a good price. The guys are honest and good people. Have never felt that I was being sold something that I didn't need.”

“Wow. What a pleasure to do business with this auto shop. I had a bad starter on my Honda, and after trying to complete the job myself, without the proper tools or experience, I gave them a call. Lonnie made it possible for me to bring my car in this morning on my off dat, and had me back on the road tonight, and ready for my drive to work tomorrow morning.Not only was the pricing fair and reasonable, but spending my hard earned money with a small, independent shop is something I believe in. Henry's has been here for YEARS, and I hope they are here for as long as they want to be.Thank you both for making my day...take care.”

He quoted me a very reasonable price - less than half of what Berkeley Toyota tried to charge me - and had me in and out very quickly. The staff was very friendly, and I will absolutely be going back!”
