xpert@auto:~$ cat ./about.log
An indie shop that thinks like a dealer tech.
[transmission · log start · 2008]
>Xpert was started on Magnolia by a former dealer-tech who got tired of telling customers things he wasn't allowed to. Same scan tools the dealers use, same factory service manuals, none of the extended-service-plan upsells.
>We diagnose first and quote second. Scope, scan, road-test if it's a drivability issue. If the cause isn't clear in twenty minutes, we tell you it isn't, and we don't start the meter until it is.
>Open Monday through Saturday morning. Closed Sundays — the lifts get the day off.

★★★★★>"Sent my M5 here after two other shops told me they'd need a week. Xpert had the diagnosis in an hour, the part on order in two, and the car back to me the next afternoon. Tune holds, no codes since."
[002] · hilda_m_@ daily-driver subaru
★★★★★>"Took my Forester in for a check-engine light that two other shops misdiagnosed. Xpert scoped it, told me it was a fifteen-dollar sensor, and didn't charge for the diagnostic when I came back for the install."
[003] · devon_c_@ wrx build · client since 2021
★★★★>"They built my WRX from a base-trim hatchback to a quiet-but-stupid-fast street car. Every part receipt, every dyno sheet, every tune log. The PDF write-up alone is worth the labor cost."
