So glad I got lost but kept going because the car shop I ended up at was going to charge me $40 just to look at my brakes. LRA did a courtesy inspection, gave me some guidance and did my state inspection right there on the spot. Saved me $400 on brakes today, I've got a good year until new pads are needed. This is a family run business, authentic and kind hearted people. Great experience! - K M. (5 star review on Yelp)

I always come here with all of my car problems and they always tell me exactly what is wrong and don't try to just get my money. The staff is extremely friendly and is trustworthy. I do not know much about cars and they always explain to me what they are going to do. The prices are better than anywhere else I have been which is why I keep coming back. They do not rip you off or try to sell you stuff your car does not need. They are also super helpful with telling you when to come so you can be in and out! - Jeanne M. (5 star review on Yelp)
