I’ve been going to Independence Acura Car Service for over 10 years now for maintenance and repairs of my Honda. And would trust these guys in a blink, without any hesitation or doubts! Very reliable, honest and transparent. Thank you for your service!

Good service and polite technicians. Not the cheapest and their suggestions for repair were fine but perhaps not the greatest. They recommended far less repairs than what is required on my old car. So a bit dicey there.

These guys are amazing!! I have a dread of mechanics and car problems that is out of line with the actual experience (it's just so stressful when you have no idea what is wrong, how bad it is, and, just as importantly, whether or not you can trust what you are being told.) Having bought a used car that was not-so-nicely-maintained, I've had to get over that fear, fast. Luckily, with Independence Auto, that hasn't been a problem. The quality of work, reliability, and trustworthiness has been off the charts. My car anxiety is no more! As an example, when fixing the brakes and noticing that the car was a little rough-around-the-edges, Vladimir summed up what the key components were that I should worry about. After not knowing if they had been replaced when the car hit 100,000 miles, I asked him to do the work just to be on the safe side. He actually turned me away! Telling me he would prefer confirmation that service was not done as it would be expensive to replace parts (to the tune of $700) unnecessarily. How great is that? After I received confirmation the work had not been done, I dropped my car off the next day and his team gave me a ride to work. My car was ready to go the next morning. Not only did they stick to the estimate each time, they went above and beyond by replacing a tail-light for me (I had already ordered the part on eBay) as a bonus! This wasn't any taillight replacement, mind you - they had to take the bumper off to replace it due to the way the taillight was secured. And they still left this as a 'bonus' - free of charge! Having to weigh the pros and cons of putting new money in to a used car, based on the multiple conversations I've had with him already, I know I can 100% trust Vladimir's opinion. Following the amazing service I've received, they're never getting rid of me!

Michael took care of the oil change on my Honda Accord. He is honest, straightforward with what to expect with regards to expenses and gave me a his assessment of the car's status and what needs to be done. I find their price reasonable and their service is efficient. I'm taking my vehicles there from now on.

I took my Honda here for 7 years. I was so lucky to have found this shop. They are honest and good mechanics who took care of my car periodically without fail. One time, Vladimir scolded me because my tires were in pretty bad shape. He basically said: "young lady, you better get these tires replaced right now!" They didn't do tires there and he didn't try to point me to any tire shop so I knew he was genuinely concerned for my safety. They were like a good neighborhood mechanic in the old days that you can trust. Too bad now I'm in a different state and need to look for a new place to take my car. I'm suddenly realizing how good I had it. *sigh*

This is the best place to get your car fixed for a fair price. I took my Acura tl 2007 for an small issue and requested an estimate to fix an oil leak. The dealer Honda, gave me an estimate of more than $4000 to fix the problem, they said head gasket, oil pan, bla bla. At this place you will find the most professional an honest mechanics, they fix my oil leak, it was a cicilinder rectification for 1/5 of what the dealer was charging me and after almost a month my car is feeling good and everything work's fine by the way my car has 303,000 miles and still running well, no issues at all. Thank you! This is the place to take your car.

I have had numerous services completed here and Mike and Vladimir always do a great job. Ive had oil changes, a tune up, brake pads, and other various services. They keep my car running great and will continue to bring my car here as good mechanics are hard to find. Definitely recommend!

I had grate experience with Mike he was very honest about my car service, he’s not like many others body shops, that they just want to take your money and adding services you don’t need, just take your money. He has Accurate and honest quotes for sure I will come back when I need any other service

My car’s engine fan was roaring so loudly that it felt like an emergency. I called them, and they answered right away, advising me to bring it in for a check. The service was quick, and I left feeling relieved. Came home happy with a smoothly running car! Thank you!

Vlad was fantastic to work with. We called him on a recommendation from a friend and even though we have a VW and not a Japanese car, he offered to help us. He diagnosed, sourced and fixed our broken VW Jetta passenger window within two days of us calling him. So appreciative of honest, fast and informed mechanics like him!

My 2018 Mazda cx-5 battery was showing signs of wearing down (had to jump start once.) After my car warranty was over, I did not see any benefit in going to dealership and getting fleeced with exorbitant charges. Instead I went to Independence Car Service based on recommendation from a friend who has been going there for the past 15 years. I was not disappointed. They were very honest and transparent in their communication from the very beginning. I've seen other services recommending thousands of dollars of repairs after an inspection. The battery replacement was taken care of without any fuss. I also asked for a Tire rotation service and they let me know that I can do that for free at America's Tire since I bought my tires from them. I was pleasantly surprised at such honesty. I know where I am going for any car repairs from now on.

Been coming to Independence Car Service for all my oil changes and car issues for many years, since about 2014. Vladimir and Misha are always attentive to details, honest, helpful, and fair in pricing. They’re the type of car guys that know what they’re doing and really do it for the love of car service above everything. I appreciate them very much!

I’m going to start taking my cars here from now on. Mike was recommended to me by a friend who’s been taking his car here 12 years and said he’s very honest and does good work. A dealership told me I needed to spend $3600 on two repairs. I did not think I needed to do that so I asked Mike to look at it and he said I did not need to do that. I just needed to stay on top of my oil and add additive given that I have a high mileage car that has some seepage issues.

The manager and technicians are incredibly skilled, honest, and diligent. You can trust their work completely - they know exactly what they’re doing and take pride in doing it right. What really impressed me was the depth of technical knowledge they shared. As someone who does a lot of car repairs myself, I was blown away by how well they understood every nut and bolt of my vehicle. You'll not only get excellent service but also professional advice that’s hard to find elsewhere. Vladimir and Misha – special thanks to you guys for all your guidance and advice!

I never write reviews but Michael was exceptional so I wanted to write about my experience here!Michael was extremely thorough and has a very kind demeanor (something I haven’t encountered much with mechanics). His pre purchase inspection saved me from buying a car with lots of invisible issues that I couldn't tell from test driving it. No pressure to do any services at his shop and very transparent throughout the process. Price was very fair too, half of what others were charging, and no upselling to get work done at his shop specifically. He even looked up an estimate for the specific issue on the car to give me an idea of the cost of the repair all without pressuring me to have the fix done at his shop. Very professional and honest 10/10 service. I'll be back when I'm in the area again.
