Owner Dan (Denson) Chandra is a dishonest mechanic.
I was unfortunately in a car accident in December of 2024, and I brought my car here after at the recommendation of a stupid former friend.
The car ended up being totaled so I went and bought a new one. Since the old car that was totaled was still at Dan's shop. I asked him to switch out the parts from the old car to the new one. In total, he conducted at most 30 minutes to an hour of work. This included moving my intakes, a rear track light, one passenger side kick plate and my exhausts.
I did most of the work of moving parts over myself and his shop assistant, who isn't a certified mechanic, failed to put the gaskets back onto my car until I reminded him.
Dan failed to provide me with an initial quote (which he's required to do) and then charged me for 10 hours of work claiming he needed to "do both cars" at a cost of $1,700. At most, he was owed $300.
On top of all this, he recently completely destroyed my friend's GTR while committing insurance fraud and refuses to take responsibility.
Dan has since been reported to the Bureau of Automotive Repair, Better Business Bureau, and I will be leaving a bad review online for him wherever and whenever possible. I've also informed all the GTR, Nissan, Z car clubs to never take their car here.
This shop needs to be put out of business. Period.
Dan is already under investigation by the Bureau of Automotive Repair for a multitude of complaints from other customers that he ripped off.
Again, do not take your car here if you value your time, money and being treated with respect.
Invoices are still available if anyone would like to take a look. Take a look at all the other negative reviews he has here and online, you've been warned.
EDIT: Added the 10 hours where he billed me fraudulently for "having my car towed in". Did not itemize any of parts that were removed at all.
EDIT: Doxxing my address and personal information. Also, you just admitted to fraud by claiming to my insurance.
