John worked on my Accord Hybrid. Nicely done. Judging by many classic cars in and out of his shop, he must be good with both newbies and oldies.

I came to John for my Mercedes Benz Headlight Swap. He is very detail orientated and took the time to make sure that the bumper is removed correctly in order for the headlight to be removed safely. He is a very pleasant and honest guy. I would recommend John for any auto customization you need!

John is the best. He installed my license plates for free and gave me a great quote for replacing my brakes. Highly recommend
