Have had many vehicles taken here over the years and they always do excellent work. Just picked up my 2014 Expedition after getting a timing job done and my motor runs great and sounds brand new.

Never fixed the issue on hand, was asking for drugs, and joints(weed to smoke for him and his girl) is what he said, for labor pay, also have text messages of everything! Very unprofessional! Uses cheap parts that break down don’t give you the option to get expensive ones or communicate that with you enough, just does what he wants! Communication sucks, blocking numbers when we paid for parts and trying to have another shop fix his work we couldn’t get in touch with him, had the other shop call his number he answers and started talking to the lady very disrespectful, he lies, half does the job! Not only did he start with threats saying what he wasn’t going to do after he got full payment stated he knew where I lived! Said he wasn’t even sending the Receipt when that’s all we wanted so we can get warranty part that he put on and half did and didn’t want to fix and put the work off on somebody else! Didn’t relearn the throttle body after he put a so called new one on, didn’t let us know it needed to be relearned witch caused more damange to the car that was not there before he did that! Did a tune up one week I asked about Courl packs he said nothing about then I then asked days later did my car have them he said yes I said do they need to get done, he said he will check bc by week number two needed another tune up and I asked about the packs again he said didn’t need them! Witch was a lie! Don’t right up receipt and felt offended when asked for one! Not certified in everything he tries to work on or say he can do! He watches YouTube videos and makes a division on if he feel like he can do the work on your car! Does not know how to work on new cars with computer chips and stuff like that! He is not good for business and all his stuff need to be checked legally! I wouldn’t recommend him for a window, he put a family member window in a Kia and when she rolled the window up and down the battery went head and car kept cutting off! He needs to be put out of business and start at school! Sorry! but he is not the man or shop for the job! And I have all receipts via text messages that I can upload's! Thanks!

The owner has a horrible attitude, doesn’t fix things properly, and has poor communication skills! NOT A PROFESSIONAL AUTO SERVICE/MECHANIC
Jan 07, 2024
Doesn’t know how to fix cars very well at all! I wish I can give him zero stars because he did a terrible job on my car. He completely ruined my car, and I will be suing!
Jan 07, 2024
He dont know how to fix cars . He will take ur money and act like he fixing it and really dont be
Jan 07, 2024
If I could give ZERO stars, I would! He has a horrible attitude, doesn’t fix things properly, and then tries to charge you more for mistakes he made! He “fixed” my radiator, which he overcharged me for and 2 days later my car blew up from the radiator that he didn’t properly install! DO NOT TRUST OR GO TO THIS FAKE MECHANIC!!!! Update: I STAND BY WHAT I SAID- A SCAM ARTIST! WHO has no clue what he is doing! If you did what you claim you were supposed to do, it would not have had excess air and exploded, which indicated to us that you DID NOT bleed the part like you claim you did! I’ve had the car a few months and since day ONE it’s had issues. The parts in the car aren’t even the right parts. You’ve taped pieces together, has the wrong size alternator in it, and a wiring problem. So you’ve rigged the car since the beginning. YOUR PRICES AREN'T THE ISSUE! YOUR NASTY ATTITUDE AND LACK OF KNOWLEDGE ON VEHICLES IS THE PROBLEM! And I WILL CONTINUE to warn people about your fraudulent business! When I tried to have a civil conversation with you, you were VERY unprofessional AND DID NOT OWN UP TO YOUR MISTAKES or ATTEMPT TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE! See you in court :)

Dec 07, 2020
Headed back to NC from iowa on a sunday, and the brakes give out. Noone was open except 1st stop. Very courteous gentleman explained it was his daughters bday and that he could get to it Monday. Very time I called he had an update to calm.my nerves. He was able to squirrel the part and get it installed and had me back going again Being an out of towner, its kinda hard to find a mechanic and trust. 1st stop auto is above expectations across the board. Anytime your Indianapolis, THIS is the guy to go to

I'm very satisfied with the service and the quality of knowledge of you knowing about cars and taking the time out to help fix any issues.

Caused more damage than what he fixed. Didn't put transmission fluid back in, only half quart of the 3.5 required. Broke 2 more seals, all 4 o2 sensors I'm leaving my car undone and everything hanging out exposed to the elements for over a month, didn't even reassemble my clutch housing inside of my car just left all the bolts and coverings undone and unfastened. Didn't even finish the supposed job that he was supposed to do himself because he couldn't even get bolts taken off so we had to pay over $200 for another shop to fix it to get our car back and that's when we found out all the other problems that he had caused. Never once paid us back any of our money for attempted to fix anything. We are now out $1,000 with more damages to fix then we left him with the car with. Not only that he fixed at least two other cars in the process of us waiting on ours and not even being touched. Scam! Don't trust him!

He fixed my Jeep Liberty (starter replacement) quickly and correctly. It has been running perfectly since the work was done. I am very satisfied with his work and will return anytime I need any repair. Thanks.
Dec 07, 2020
Horrible communication, piss poor work, doesn't know what he is doing.. my car no longer is drivable after he touched it
Dec 07, 2020
Joshua replaced the water pump on my F250 Powerstroke. He was quick and paid attention to detail. He definitely knows what he is doing, we will for sure continue to use him for other projects.
Dec 07, 2020
SCAM ARTIST! BUTCHERED MY TRANSMISSION AND CAR, BROKE MULTIPLE PARTS INCLUDING ELECTRICAL, AND JUST "SLAPPED" MY CAR TOGETHER He continues to ignore my calls, and texts about my vehicle. I paid upfront and was told two days, and it's been over a month since I paid. He has my car on Jack's stands at a house he no longer lives at
Dec 07, 2020
I will definitely be calling him to do all my work for now on! Called him went right over took him ten minutes to tell me what was wrong I replaced it and my vans running great! And he didn’t charge me nothing! Great service highly recommend

Joshua was EXCELLENT! I called him to only replace my alternator. He came to my location, replaced the alternator (for a 2006 Lexus), and EVEN MORE, he jumped my battery, made sure that the car is up and running, and EVEN MORE, he took one of the tires off (FLAT) went to fill it with air, came back and put it on the car. He’s a great fixer!! Highly recommend!

Was extremely efficient and does great work in a timely manner. Reached out to him the day before, got an estimate and the job done completely the next day. Doesn’t overcharge and customer always in mind. Would definitely Return if I have any future problems.
