5 /5 Steve Amrol: My grampa always used to say, "the three most important people we need to be able to trust are our lawyer, plumber, and mechanic." (I think later in life, he added doctor and priest). ;)
In my life, by far, the most trustworthy, honest, talented, and personable mechanic Ive ever met is Nathan who runs the one man show at Electric Avenue Thousand Oaks. When my Toyota dealership overcharged me for services that I didnt even need, I shopped around for other independent options. From the moment he answered the phone to the handful of times he has serviced both our cars, Nathan is the epitome of professionalism, thoroughness, and genuine care. Hes friendly to talk with, incredibly knowledgeable about ALL auto repair (not just EVs), and goes out of his way to shop for the best prices for any parts needing replacement or repair. He saved me $300 on a four-tire replacement and when another mechanic screwed up break work on my friends car, we brought it to Nathan who inspected the work and immediately corrected the problem IN THE SAME DAY! He knew exactly what the problem was just by test-driving because he used to work as a mechanic at a dealership. Indeed, in this day and age when prices are skyrocketing and customer service is plummeting, we are incredibly grateful to know and trust someone like Nathan to ALWAYS provide the best and cost-effective service for our cars. Thank you Nathan!
