Review №1

Lacky is an amazing mechanic, and a genuinely good individual that cares about your car troubles. Nice older Greek dude, has been in the business for decades. I was having issues with a 1999 Honda Civic I recently bought. I had no CEL code, but a smell that was putrid, like gas and oil mixed together, was coming into my cabin. I searched on Honda forums and the symptoms may have been a cracked exhaust manifold. Lo and behold it was. On the LX model of the 6th generation Civic, the exhaust manifold and catalytic converter are together. Curses, it would be an expensive part, but I needed to get it fixed.Lacky took my car in that faithful Wednesday, and I decided to take the day off to see him fix it. Unfortunately, and this is not on him, a lot of parts stores could not get him the exhaust with the converter. He was very worried, and told me to leave it over night so he can get his hands on one. The next day he calls and tells me the job is finished. I took a look and was amazed at the solid work.It helps to know a little bit about cars, your model year and generation especially. New exhaust manifolds have a chemical residue from factory from left over production/checks for any leaks before shipment for quality assurance. I left the lot eventually smelling this because the manifold and converter get really hot. Eventually, the smell subsided around 300 miles of driving, normal. So, if you get an exhaust and converter switched out, expect the smell.Pricing was very good. Been getting quotes and wanting to go back to mechanics in this area I have given business to, but their pricing was high close to $1k, or more, for parts and labor. For labor and part cost at P&K, it was under $800 after tax! I checked on quality rock auto, and the part was only $7 more at P&K. So genuine, Lacky did not upcharge me at all. Other auto shops around this area have.Truth be told, there are many auto shops here where their mechanic turnover is frequent. If not that, there are veteran mechanics with bad attitudes. Theyd look at you like an idiot when their shoddy work was the issue. Ive been a customer, yet they treat me like another number. They slotted me a week down for a serious cracked exhaust manifold issue. So, I am glad to have found a new mechanic for harder jobs I cannot accomplish myself. Thank you Lacky, its a shame there arent many good hearted mechanics like you left in this area anymore.

This is the third time I’ve came to P & K and the service is excellent. As someone who doesn’t have a lot of experience with car maintenance, I feel very comfortable with the mechanics here. Very reasonable prices and honest reports.

As a young woman who doesnt know much about cars, I was a bit scared to go alone to a car mechanic for the first time. I have AAA, so I had my car looked at there initially, and Ive had my car looked at in other mechanics in town -- THIS is the one Ive found that is honest, doesnt overcharge, and tells me how it is! My landlord recommended them to me, and I am very happy with their service.

They fixed us up at a reasonable price, and honestly recommended some other repairs (which were things Id been ignoring and continued to ignore, since its a 92) but didnt push them. I didnt feel sold to, but instead felt like they helped.
