Juan and his team are the real deal. I came in worried about an expensive brake job and they showed me exactly what was worn, what could wait, and gave me a fair price up front. Truck rides like new. I will not take my car anywhere else.

5.0 avg rating across 8+ reviews
I had a check engine light that two other shops couldn't figure out. Prime ran a real diagnostic, found a small vacuum leak nobody else caught, and fixed it for less than half what the dealer quoted. Honest people, real expertise.
Came in for an oil change and they noticed my cabin filter was filthy and one tire was low. They showed me the filter, asked before doing anything extra, and didn't pressure me. This is how a shop should treat customers.
