Hg Auto Service

I have been coming here for years. Cary is a super honest guy, so don’t worry about getting ripped off. His prices are really reasonable as well. He is a little slow but gets the job done! Highly recommend

Cary is a very hardworking and honest guy. I’ve always gone go Cary to do my auto repairs and I will continue to do so.

I’ve been going to Cary for about 13 years. Originally because HG was the closest mechanic to me but since then I have gone back along with anyone that will listen.
Cary is honest competent and gives a fantastic value on all repairs.
I once wondered about a repair and looked into how much I could have saved if I’d fixed my own car. The total came to $ 140. The part from autozone was $ 120. So had I been a genius mechanic and known how to fix my car and what part to buy I only would have saved $ 20.
I can’t recommend Cary and HG enough. Really great value.
Have a friend take you so that you don’t have to wait while they fix your car of course.

HG Auto Service WAS ONCE an AWESOME shop when Kerry owned/​ran it himself!
Please read further to help get what you actually pay for.
I’ve been a loyal customer to this auto repair shop since I’ve owned a car (about 6 or 7 years!). It WAS a good shop where you could get good HONEST work done on your car for a cheap/​reasonable price (sometimes would question if Kerry even made money on the of the work he did for me) without having to worry about being cheated but, that has changed. Let me tell you why!
So first off, shop has only two car bays/​lifts where cars get worked on. Kerry (a really nice, genuine, humorous, legitimate mechanic) used to work on the cars by himself — every now and then he had an assistant/​apprentice.
UP UNTIL RECENTLY (about 6 months), a new guy started working here. Kerry is still there but the auto shop has been basically split up in to two — Kerry working on the left car bay and the new guy working on the right side. I am not sure if the work became overwhelming for Kerry, since he’s getting older, or if he was in some kind of financial hole.
Moving on to the important part, STAY AWAY FROM THE NEW GUY!!! It’s guys like this that give mechanics a bad name! I’ll try make this short and quick.
1)He over charges you like a mother f… Not only have I been a victim but my friends and family.
2) He tells you need to replace this and that when you dont need to — He told my brother he needed his timing belt changed when Kerry told him a few weeks ago that the belt was still good. trying to make a quick 200 bucks?
3) He does a poor job — he doesn’t give much time for the oil to drain before pouring new oil. He also doesn’t bother cutting your rotors for new breaks either.
4) He is VERY SHADY and RUDE– a) So I brought in expensive oil to do an oil change. After the oil change when I asked for the remaining 5qrt bottle, he got a bit jumpy and said ‘oh yeah’. When I got it, it felt way more full than it should have been — which meant he left a lot of old oil in my car and poured in a little of the new one. My guess was, he thought he was basically going to keep good amount of oil to probably sell to other customers who ask for Mobile 1 oil or use it himself. b) he also made fun of an older man for pulling in to the bay wrong couple of times. after laughing, pointing, and trying to get me to laugh with him, the old many pulled back out and left.
The guy is just an overall asshole. I didn’t even bother to get his name but should have just to put it on here. You can’t miss him though. He is the younger guy with tattoos and actually thinks he is a thug.
MY RECOMMENDATION IS, if you go here ONLY GET YOUR WORK DONE BY KERRY. When you drive up, just pull up to the left engine bay where Kerry will take care of you. Pull up on that side even if there’s a car being worked on and there is no car in the other bay, it is worth the wait. Look for an older asian man, Kerry, and talk to him (sometimes hard to under stand him but be patient with him as he will with you). If the young guy talks to you, just tell him you want to speak to Kerry — it’s some times hard to find him behind the cars/​equipment.
As for the place, its part of a gas station and you have to stand around and wait for your car. Sometimes there are chairs to sit on. It can get busy sometimes but not as much as it use to.
And yes, I made this account just to write this review. I don’t write reviews but it sad to watch a good auto shop go wrong, especially after going there for so long.

Kary is awesome!!!
when it comes to OEM Japanese Imports, he’s your guy. He does a great job and doesnt charge you an arm and a leg. Just make sure to there early. If you get there past 1030am… youll have a nice looooong wait.
P. s. dont talk too much, he hates that

I have been coming to HG Auto for years!
This is a small auto shop, that can fit about 2 cars.
I usually come here when I need basic maintenance done such as oil changes, transmission fluid flushes, or brake pad installs. They can also do major stuff but my car never seems to have any major problems.
Who said luxury cars need to be more high maintenance than they should be. Would I ever go to the Lexus dealership to get a oil change done for $ 150? Hell no!
I am able to do oil changes and fluid changes on my own but who likes to recycle oil? I recommend bringing your own oil and oil filter because the charge will only be $ 5.00! What a deal!
The good, its inexpensive and he makes sure every drop of fresh oil is used. Casey is also quite the talker if you feel a need for a conversation. Heck hes even offered me a beer while I was waiting for him to get the car maintenanced!
The downside though, Casey takes his sweet ass time doing whatever he needs to get done. A oil change can sometimes take 40 minutes!
