This place is the best! My brother in law refers me to Scott, for my car inspections and when I came in the shop. Scott is so approachable and he really explains everything! He explains what to be needed and give a reasonable price! No hidden charges.

Brakes

Several months ago I had front pads and rotors replaced on my Lexus LS460. Recently I started getting pulsating when stopping at high speeds. I explained this to Scott and he checked it out and replaced the rotors under warranty at no charge. Fabulous customer service! Scott is amazing! I would Highly recommend American Brake Center on Preston Hwy!
