I trust Independence Car Service completely. They save me money when they can and recommend what service I need now, what can be scheduled later, and what service is not necessary for a particular car.

Highly recommend Vladimir and MIchael. I have serviced my Toyota Camry there for years. More than once Vladimir has fixed something for me and not charged because it wasn't a big deal as far as he was concerned.
