Brakes are pretty much the most important safety device on your car. If you've ever partially lost your brakes in the past, you'll agree that it's not something you want to experience again. Inspecting your brakes twice a year for wear and damage can protect you and your passengers. Additionally, it will also help save you money by catching any damage before it becomes too costly.
Most people ignore their tires, yet tires are undoubtedly a critical safety component on a vehicle. Where the rubber meets the road affects traction, handling, steering, stability and braking. Because of this, a sudden tire failure can have serious consequences, especially if it occurs when operating at high speeds.
Think of it this way: Research indicates that the average vehicle is driven about 12,000 miles per year. A car with a toe angle misadjustment of 0.34 degrees (only 0.17 inches) out of specification will drag the tires sideways for more than 68 miles by the end of the year! Follow the vehicle manufacturer's recommendation noted in your owner's manual.

Dave and his team are the best! I own a company that depends heavily on our vehicles and D&S has gotten us out of a bind on many occasions. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and do great work. They are one of the few smaller shops that will even work on diesels. I would highly recommend them if you are looking for a reliable mechanic!

I have very bad experience about this auto shop. If you want to get a reliable and quality job, also to save money, do not go there to repair your car. You are probably better off going to the dealer itself. You probably save less than 10% than what you would pay in the dealership. However, you will lose money in the long run because what they repair breaks down in less than 2 years. Their quality of repair is also poor.
I have been there a couple of time. The first time, it was to repair my BMW window regulator. It broke in less than two years. I also had the BMW AC belt replaced and it again
