Customer Reviews
“I take both my cars for regular service to Sal’s. My 2006 Acura is approaching 200,000 miles and just passed inspection again thanks to their great work. Services have included oil changes, door locks, halogen bulb replacement, headlight cleaning, inspection, brakes, AC compressor, spark plugs, tires, motor mounts, bearings, timing belts, and much more. Service is fast usually in a day (a couple if a part is needed) and affordable. I recommend Sal’s over the dealership any day. They keep a clean shop and are knowledgeable about all sorts of problems.” – Chad M.
“Brought my Cadillac to Sal’s for an issue I wasn’t quite able to identify. There’s a few things you need in a good mechanic. Understanding of cars is the baseline. But fast and clear communication, staying on schedule, and being kind to your wallet (rather than running up costs) all play significant factors. Sal’s hit every aspect. Very grateful to have a good shop to rely on!” – David B.
