"Mike totally saved the day. My car broke down and was stuck in neutral in West Covina, which is an unfamiliar area to me. I called AAA and needed to get my car towed to a shop within 5 miles. I was lucky to find Mao's Garage open at 6pm on a Saturday. I called ahead and Mike told me, even though he specializes in foreign vehicles, he'd take a look at my Saturn, with a potentially ruined Transmission. I leave the car over the weekend, worried that the repair will cost more than the car is worth, but the next business day Mike sends me a text detailing how he saved my car! Rather than a broken transmission, it was the shift linkage that had a piece break off, and instead of having to order a part, Mike created a custom bracket that was the perfect fit to get my car shifting into gear again. He even adjusted my handbrake and re attached a door panel for me before I took the car. Mike seems like a super nice and honest guy that goes above and beyond for his customers! Would recommend this shop to anyone seeking detailed care for their vehicle"
