I’ve been going to split second for a while and they’ve never let me down, the team is always professional and friendly and also knowledgeable. Every time I’ve had an issue with my car they’ve found the problem and fixed it with no issues. Theres never any mistakes and they truly care about doing the job right and I 100% recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and high quality service.

Horrible! Over charge for everything. Got priced to do the same job for $300 dollars less somewhere else. And then they had the nerve to charge me $60 to do nothing to my car just look at it, which mind you they never told me about this. Would never recommend EVER! So disgusted with them.
Response from the owner · March 25, 2026: Thank you for your feedback. For accuracy, the vehicle was dropped off by Michael, not the person posting this review. Our staff test drove the vehicle with Michael to confirm the noise concern, and the check-out was authorized at that time. The reviewer is not a regular customer of ours and was not the person who originally brought in the vehicle or approved the inspection. After the test drive, the vehicle was lifted and inspected, and it was found to need brakes and other work. An estimate was then provided. Our $60 check-out fee is a standard and reasonable charge for the time spent diagnosing the source of the noise. Test driving, lifting, and inspecting a vehicle is not “doing nothing.” Anyone is free to get a second opinion or have repairs done elsewhere, but it is not acceptable to insult our integrity when our staff followed the proper process and provided an estimate based on what was found. We stand behind our work and our professionalism. - JJay★★★★★ April 3, 2026
Great mechanics and affordable. I have been going here for years and so far no problem.

I was a week out from college drop-off when I heard the noise. Inccesant ticking coming from the engine. (Exhaust Manifold??). My local repair shop said they could do the work, a day later my local shop said they couldn't, they do not have the experience in the space given the big engine in the Jeep. They referred me to another shop, 2 more days later they stated they couldn't do it... Their expert hadnt shown up…
for 2 days... I was given Alex's number (Split Second) from a family member. Was told they do everything!!!! I called explained the issue and he said "Sure we've done that!". Thinking my family member contacted him, before i called, I stated I needed to know if the car was good for the long drive to college. He said he will take a look. If he thinks it's what it is, could be done by days end! No guarantee (Luckily, I had ordered the part from the original shop) Not only did he treat me like family, he explained to me the issue, why it happened and what caused it. Also letting me know of an additional issue. (Which he fixed) I called my cousin to thank him for the referral and calling ahead of time. My cousin stated he did not call him yet... and hadnt known my car was at his shop, let alone repaired!!! So Alex treated me as any other customer walking through the door, and I felt like he was treating me like he was servicing a family member or ViP I have a new service station for my cars!!! Id highly recommend them. Thank you the trip was great. (Work done exhaust manifold and motor mounts, 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overlander, my baby)
Response from the owner · September 6, 2024: Thanks for kind words!! - MMachew★★★★★ December 4, 2019
These guys not only diagnosed my truck super fast and accurately but had an idea based of my explanation of what they were looking for before I even dropped it off. Hit the nail on the head. Speedy high quality repair. Not only did they meet my expectations, but surely exceeded them through the process. Excellent courteous customer service. In my opinion worth every penny spent. You pay for what you get in return. I…
believe I undoubtedly received more than what I paid for. I have been looking for a new garage to take my vehicle. Alex, Sev, and their crew have my business moving forward. Top notch in my book. I have already brought a second vehicle for diagnosis/repair which they again nailed down. I have also immediately started recommending their services to anyone I know. A++++

Great honest service. Saved me a lot of money and was very fast. Will be going here from now on.
