Took my Audi A8 there. Great work for a good price! Disregard the negative reviews. Where would you get an oil and Transmission fluid change for $130? Some people are not even capable of writing in proper English :-) The HMI team is awesome and their true customers value their workmanship. Definitely my place to go!

Report
I recently took in my 2018 Maserati GranTurismo to get a state inspection. A friend had recommended me to give HMI a try so I did. They recommended me to get an oil change for a decent price so of course I accepted the offer which did not take long at all. The employees were very friendly and easy talking with. I would recommend friends and family to give HMI a visit for their car needs. Overall it was a great experience.
