"Mike totally saved the day. My car broke down and was stuck in neutral in West Covina, which is an unfamiliar area to me. I called AAA and needed to get my car towed to a shop within 5 miles. I was lucky to find Mao's Garage open at 6pm on a Saturday. I called ahead and Mike told me, even though he specializes in foreign vehicles, he'd take a look at my Saturn, with a potentially ruined Transmission. I leave the car over the weekend, worried that the repair will cost more than the car is worth, but the next business day Mike sends me a text detailing how he saved my car! Rather than a broken transmission, it was the shift linkage that had a piece break off, and instead of having to order a part, Mike created a custom bracket that was the perfect fit to get my car shifting into gear again. He even adjusted my handbrake and re attached a door panel for me before I took the car. Mike seems like a super nice and honest guy that goes above and beyond for his customers! Would recommend this shop to anyone seeking detailed care for their vehicle"

"This guy really knows his stuff and puts in All the time and care in the world to take care of the car, the integrity that he has is the reason why I’m gonna keep on coming back to this place for every single car in my family. The windows look great and I see no type of bubbling or creasing that’s happening in there and the comfort knowing that I can come back to him if something does come up makes every penny worth it and it’s not even a lot of pennies!!"

California's strict car window tinting laws require front side windows to have at least 70% VLT (Visible Light Transmission), keeping them relatively clear. Back side and rear windows can have any darkness level. Windshield tint is limited to the top 4 inches.
