Highly recommend taking your vehicle maintenance needs to Dave and his staff, the whole process was amazing, from when I dropped my truck off until I picked it up. Easy billing, no hassle or pressure on repairs, they even gave suggestions to avoid costly repairs. The staff was very professional and friendly, I definitely will be taking my vehicles back there when that time comes again.

David at 210 Brakes is truly one of a kind. He has been amazing to me and my family for many years, even back when he was at Pep Boys, and we followed him without hesitation when he opened his own shop. That alone says everything.


David always goes above and beyond, takes the time to explain things clearly, and gives honest advice and recommendations you can genuinely trust. You never feel upsold or rushed, only taken care of. He is welcoming, kind, and consistently professional.


We now drive almost an hour just to see him, and it is absolutely worth it. That is how much we trust him with our vehicles and our family’s safety.
