Always prompt, professional and honest. Detailed estimate of expected repair costs and rationale. Quick turnaround. Dealerships should study Black Rock to learn how to do it right, and how to deliver excellent personal customer service. They are my βgo toβ for all my repair needs. Iβd give six stars if I could. The best real old fashioned mechanics around, who deal with every car brand and type. Dave and his team are top notch.
