Anyone heard of Garage 1 Auto?

I got a flyer on my car yesterday for a service shop called Garage 1 Auto. I couldn't find any info in the forums on it, so I was wondering if anyone has dealt with them. (www.garage1auto.com)

It's been over a year since anyone's replied to this thread. Anyone had any recent experience (good/bad) with this South Bay shop?

I went to this shop many times a few years ago before they moved to San Jose (was in santa clara). Aaron , the owner, is a nice guy. But not as popular as all other shops like GST and AHQ. nothing bad happened so far

They replaced my front cv axle (torn cv boot) about 10 or so months ago. They found me a decently priced axle over night. I took my car in the next morning and had it back before they closed. They are very friendly, and awesome to deal with.

They also helped my friend with his swapped RS a few months before me- with great results.

I got my 90k service done there. They did a really good job, charged a fair price and didn't try to pressure me into anything I didn't need. Good folks. I would recommend them.
