About the Shop
Meet the team.
Nearly 30 years of honest work.
At A & C Auto Clinic you deal with Frank directly — no service advisors, no runaround. With three decades under the hood, he diagnoses by sound and feel, and only recommends a repair when you actually need it.
Working alongside him is Minh, another seasoned mechanic. Same standard from both: find what's actually wrong, fix it right, charge fair. It's why customers keep coming back — some for 20 years.

I rolled (literally) to A&C Auto with a huge screw stuck in an almost deflated tire. I had my young children in the car and needed the tire patched asap. The lifts were full and everyone was busy. Frank immediately came out to inspect my tire and went to work. He could have charged me $$$ for this emergency patch job but he did not, instead charging me the regular fee. I appreciate this man and his honesty.

I had a lot of work done on my 1991 Camaro. I spent over $5,000 plus and I am very happy.

I have a custom Toyota Tacoma that needed a new clutch. A & C Auto Clinic wasn’t afraid of the customizations I did (converted to manual transmission and 4x4) and did a great job installing the clutch. They showed me the old clutch and the new parts in Toyota packaging before reassembly. Now the clutch is buttery-smooth. I got the truck back the next day.

They seem to be able to diagnose and fix most problems within 24 hours. If we have an emergency, they can take the vehicle and get a diagnosis, and an accurate estimate, to me within a couple of hours. Having had a rough couple of years trying to find the right people, I think we might have got there, finally!
