A neighborhood garage that shows its work
Piston & Gear Garage opened on Cleveland Avenue in 2008 with two bays and one lift. Today six ASE-certified technicians run eight bays and diagnose more than 30 makes with factory scan tools.
The rule has not changed since day one: nothing gets fixed until you approve a written work order. You see the part, the labor hours, and the price before we start. If we find something else, we call and wait for your answer instead of adding it to the bill.
Every repair carries a 36-month / 36,000-mile parts and labor warranty, honored at the counter with no fine print. That is why more than half of our work now comes from customers who have driven in for a decade.
Where the work happens
Regulars, not one-time visits
They found a coolant leak two other shops missed, texted me photos, and had it fixed by 4 that afternoon. The bill matched the estimate to the dollar.

I bring all three family cars here. The 36-month warranty is not a slogan: they covered a wheel bearing 14 months later with no argument.

Dropped off for a brake job, got a loaner, and picked it up the same day. The work order listed every part and the price before they started.
