Consumer Comments for Mal's Servicenter

My second go to service station. The only reason they are not first, is that since my job moved to a new location, they are too far away for me to get there and drop of my car and get into work in a timely manner. Otherwise, they are very knowledgeable. The even at least one specialist in repairing Hyundai vehicles, which is what I own. They've done quality work and saved me an enormous amount of money.

this is my second favorite auto mechanic. His prices are very good on most things, but I found him a little higher on timing chains and emission work than my favorite place, but he still beat the Dealers price by over $300.00. Ritchie is my main contact and he's a straightforward guy with good advice and no typical mechanics BS. Never tries to fix something that isn't broken and gives honest straight-up advice.
