Honest Ed

You know that feeling when you find an honest mechanic? «Jackpot», «Wow» & «God’s looking out for me» type of feeling. We found him!!! He definitely lives up to his company name. We won’t go any where else. Ed is knowledgeable & has many years of experience. Thank you for taking good care of us!!!

We’ve been taking our cars to Ed for several years now. He is very knowledgeable and you can tell by how passionate he is about making sure the car is taken care of appropriately. His prices are the best! I’ve never gotten a bad quote from him, his prices border on almost too fair. And, you always are greeted with a smile. Thanks, Ed!

I’ve worked in and around the car business for 20 years. It’s hard to find a person that inspires others to bring them their business and bring them the business of their family and friends. ED is that guy. You will not find a more knowledgeable, and straight forward mechanic. He’s great!!! and he’s fair.

Ed is a good guy. My car battery went down at the 76 gas station across the way with my two kids under four and my wife. I walked over there he lent me his jumper cable and didn’t even come with me… too a complete stranger. Charged my battery for 20 –30 min and didn’t charge me a thing. It was great to see humanity at its finest. Thanks Ed… my family and I are very appreciative.

I’ve known Ed for many years and the one thing he is is honest and dependable. I am guessing the one bad comment he got here was his competition… LOL
Ed’s pricing is very reasonable and he really is a diamond in the rough. He looks a little crazy, but has a heart of gold. Like a dentist or barber, once you find a good, decent mechanic, you stay for life. Ed works on my vehicles, my parent’s vehicles and my sister’s cars. Give him a try and you will not be sorry…

Rule #1: Never go to a mechanic who calls himself honest!
Here are some prices he gave me and my friend when we had our cars inspected by
this guy (preventive maintenance):
1. $ 4000(!) for a USED 2003 Hyundai Elantra engine (installed)


—— (the link above shows the parts with 1 year warranty for $ 1000… Is his time really worth $ 3,000???)
2. $ 600 for a clutch for the same car

(Same story here…)
3. $ 400 for a window regulator

(Mind you, that’s $ 160 for a motor & regulator assembly)
4. $ 2400 for a used 1999 Honda Civic Engine

(He charges $ 4000 for a Hyundai engine but $ 2400 for a Honda? Both prices are ridiculous but the lack of common sense is striking!)
I found these prices with a simple google search, it took me 5 minutes. One could shop around and find even better deals.
This is the guys strategy: he will lure you in and gain your trust by doing a cheap job for free hoping that you will come back. When you do come back, he will overcharge you for a more expensive job (not just over charge — rip you off!).
My advice to everyone who needs work done on their car is to shop around, whether you go to this mechanic or anybody else. DO NOT TAKE THEIR WORD FOR IT!
Have to give him credit though. He did top off my engine with two free quarts of oil (although after he fiddled with it, the car started to smell like burnt oil. I’m praying its he just spilled some oil outside by accident otherwise we’re going to have a big problem).anyhow he did this before telling me that «I have to take extra care because a new engine costs $ 4000». (Theres more but Im really trying to keep it concise). Nothing is really free my friends, and he almost had me going. Luckily, I know enough about cars to catch on to cheap tricks like these.

Ed is an awesome punk rock dude:) his companys name speaks for it self I send all my family and friends to Ed

Short version: Ed is amazing. Long version: My girlfriend’s vw beetle was having a check engine light issue and we replaced the most common part that fails for that code. We went to autozone to buy some stuff and Ed was there buying something also. He flagged us down on the way out and seemed well trained. He said that he’d take a look at the car. We went over to his shop and he fixed some minor issue and checked the engine. He also reattached a plastic shield that some oil change place forgot to secure. Then he provided some tips on how to replace a turn signal bulb that was failing. We figured it would cost something since he dedicated an hour of his time to us, but he gave us the service for free despite our objections. Ed is a rare and welcomed surprise in an auto service industry that is otherwise filled with dismal service and dishonest pricing. I’d gladly recommend him to anyone. (he didn’t ask for a review, but he does deserve it and our future business)
