Christian was amazing. He came out to look at my car even though he does not service my area. He was able to get there same day, fixed the problem, and was meticulous and thorough. He worked with me on pricing and payments. He even came out 2 days later when my car had more troubles. I am going through a hard time right now and Christian and his kindness were what I needed. A truly good person and an even better mechanic.

Google ReviewChristian is a life saver. It has been cold and snowing and my 2016 Sonata was having issues. He brought knowledge and experience and got my car running smoothly again at an awesome price. Definitely recommending Lemon Aid for all your car troubles.

Google ReviewToday I made the dumb mistake of pouring windshield wiper fluid into the coolant reservoir of my mom's car. We Googled around for a mechanic open on a Saturday and were thrilled to find Lemon Aid. Christian answered the phone and came over soon after. He explained everything he was doing, put my mind at ease and fixed my mistake quickly. He even cleaned the garage area when he finished. Friendly, skilled and very reasonable rates.

I left the shop world because of the games: padded quotes, marked-up parts, pressure to upsell. I run Lemon Aid the opposite way. You pay wholesale on parts and a flat rate quoted to your exact vehicle, before I start the job.

Christian built Lemon Aid
Christian built Lemon Aid
on one idea: honesty
After 12 years under hoods, Christian got tired of how shops treated people. The upsells. The padded quotes. The pressure to fix things you didn't come in for. So he started Lemon Aid. Straight answers. Fair prices. Real work, done where your vehicle is.
- You can supply your own parts. If you've already got the parts, I'll bring the labor. No markup either way.
- Single drivers, families and fleets. Residential driveways, commercial yards, anywhere your vehicle sits.
When life gives you a lemon, you call Lemon Aid.
