i was recommended to go here by Candice at AutoZone due to some tire issues i was having, I was there and out within 15 minutes and they were very friendly which I love! best part is they didn't charge me anything and as a broke college student that means everything lol, I'll definitely be back as a paying customer for sure!

Please everyone IYKYK this shop has saved many people. Very affordable very passionate about providing excellent services. Now the city wants to shut them down. Because of outside work. Stand with them. If your in the area or getting gas across the street at the Marathon. Walk over and sign the petition to keep them open please!! And thank you.

Went to AK’s for the first time after desperately needing new front brakes (in a time crunch) before a trip. He and his team are fantastic. They make you feel prioritized and are all a pleasure to talk to. They got me in and out super quickly and make a point to verify you’ve got the right parts for everything you need done. Prices are awesome too as he’ll do both breaks and pads for $100 total, (and if you need parts, like I did, he can help you get them immediately and at an unbeatable price too). Customer for life moving forward. 10/10 recommend.

This place looks rough on the outside, but don't let that fool you. Came by with a flat tire, they patched it up and charged me way less than I expected. In and out in 20 minutes. Workers were professional and efficient. I'll be back for sure!
