5 stars ERIN D Featured review
I do NOT trust mechanics for anything. In the past I have had some bad experiences thus making me very jaded. The ONLy reason I came to 38th street is becuase my husband and his family referred me and I trust them. I am so glad that I did too. Not only is everyone at 38th street friendly but the work is quick and they are good ole' fashioned honest people. That is often difficult to find these days. Thank you so much for keeping my car on the road and me without a car payment for hopefully another few years! See you in a week as I forgot to get my oil changed when I was in last. =)

I love the service and the people. Yes, I am bad about getting my car serviced, and while the folks at 38th St do tease me about it, they still give me top-notch service. And I only get a little razing about my Kia and the abuse it gets. It may be a little shop, but it is run by people with big hearts who care about cars and their owners.

Great auto shop! I trust them to the fullest. They don't try and add more "issues" than there actually are and if something does come up they are honest and are very good at communicating the priorities. I appreciate this as I rarely have extra funds.
