I didn't think this place could get any better but with Alan moving and selling the business to his expert head mechanic it has exceeded all expectations. Kevin and his Dad and the rest of the staff are the best. Great customer service at Exotic. Honesty and dependability is what everyone needs when you need to have an automobile repaired, and that's just what you'll find with Alan and his staff.

Report
I own a 2004 911 and recently moved from Minnesota where I had a great relationship with my previous independent garage. After reading the reviews from a number of local independents, I opted to bring my car to Exotic Car Service for an oil change, brake job, and new tires. I could NOT be happier about that decision. Al was absolutely FANTASTIC during the entire process from quoting to completion. On time, on budget, and, thanks to post-work car wash, my car was as shiny as the day she rolled off the production line. Thank you, Al, and thank you Exotic Car Service!

Being new to the area I had a very unpleasant experience with the Cat City chevy dealership repair facility. So when my sister was visiting and her smart car air conditioning quit working i was reluctant to use anyone, but thankfully i took a chance on Exotic and we were presently surprised at the service we received. Their quote was reasonable but when we picked it up the cost was less, as it didn't require all they thought was necessary. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE.VERY PROFESSIONAL.

I own an electric Smart car and had issues in the past bringing my car to Riverside for service. I'm so happy I discovered Exotic Car Service. My car is now as good as new. Their quote, time estimate, and overall competence sold me. Awesome experience! Services: General repairs & maintenance, A/C installation & repair
