  I needed to get my emissions tested, and they weren’t doing them today due to rain, but they made an exception and were absolutely amazing! Great customer service and very friendly.

  Awesome, kind, quick service from awesome mechanics. Plugged a tire, emissions, and registration in a blink of an eye.

  After calling around, this was the only shop that was able to fit me in within a reasonable time. I brought my car the next day for a diagnostic, and within 24 hours it was completely fixed. I was only charged for the diagnostic. Yaqub took great care of me, and I will definitely be coming back if my car experiences any more issues.

  The service and workmanship is right there in the name, First Rate. I have been taking my automobiles there for two decades and I hope to take them there for the next two decades . I can’t recommend them highly enough.

  I have been here twice for my car and had great experiences both times. Yaqub is very honest and upfront- I never feel scammed. Communication is fantastic. They call with updates, explain what's wrong, and what is necessary to fix. Very professional and friendly. Got me in short notice this week despite being very busy. These guys are awesome. Highly recommend and will be back!

  I've never even thought of posting a review before. This is now my second visit for an emissions test. Both times, I was in-and-out in twenty minutes. And, each time I've had a great interaction with the store manager, Yaqub. I look forward to returning, unfortunately for me, for some additional service work. I'll post an updated review when completed.

  I first initially went there just for an emissions test, the wait was not long at all, and I was in and out. I ended up getting an oil change two days later. The customer service was great, they were very professional, and the mechanics were super nice. The prices were very reasonable. I would recommend this place.

  If I could give First Rate 10 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I definitely would. My car needed everything from Engine light on to Brake repair. The Mechanic provided up front communication from start to finish, he provided quality work to my vehicle that was unmatched. If you’re looking for top- notch service at a reasonable price. I would highly recommend.

  The whole First Rate team is fantastic, they finish any work that my car has needed incredibly fast and they charge fair prices. I recommend them to everyone I know

  This place definitely lives up to its name. Family owned business with top notch service. I have been here several times, twice in a pinch, and they never fail to take care of me, squeezing me in on short notice and often for far less than I anticipated it costing. Good communication, kind and easy going people, and great service all around. Highly recommend them.

  First Rate saved me a lot of money. I went in looking for a second opinion on a quote that I got from another auto shop. Not only did the show me this wasn’t the problem, they fixed my original issue for half the price. I come here all the time now because I know I can trust them… trust and honesty is key in this business Thanks First Rate Crew!!

  Came in for an emissions test on a Monday and they were super busy! The guy at the front desk did a great job managing all the customers around him. He was kind and patient with each customer question that came at him. Once I got my testing done I was able to renew my license and get my sticker right then and there! Highly recommend for friendly and helpful service!

  This is an excellent example of why we should continue to support local businesses. The guys here are very accommodating and honest, and the quality of their services are on par with dealerships - without the pretense. Highly recommended and my new shop of choice!

  Hard to overstate how good this place is. Family owned and operated and you can tell. Yahya was amazing. Communicated everything clearly, worked attentively through my problem to find the best, most affordable solution, and even waited with me for my tow truck. If your car needs anything, go to First Rate.

  I have taken my car in several times. My first time was for an emission test. They were prompt and super nice. I have come in for oil changes and the service was great. When my car was leaking fluid, they got me right in so they could diagnose it even though they may not have been able to get it in right away. The service is great and these guys are knowledgeable. Highly recommend.
