Our story
Started with two bays and one rule: no surprises.
Ray Alvarez opened Torque & Co. after years in dealer workshops, frustrated by vague quotes and unexplained bills. The idea was simple — show customers what we find, price it clearly and let them decide. A decade later the shop has grown, but every job still starts the same way.

2016
Added dealer-level diagnostics for European makes.

Trusted by drivers who hate surprises.
Sample reviews shown for this demo site.
“They sent photos of the worn pads and a quote before touching anything. Final bill matched to the cent.”
Priya S. · 2018 Honda Civic “Dropped the car off at 8, brakes and an oil change done by lunch. No upselling, no drama.”
Marcus T. · 2016 Toyota RAV4 “Tracked down an electrical fault two other shops couldn't find. It's been perfect for six months now.”
Elena R. · 2020 VW Passat “Clear explanations, a clean waiting area and they actually called when they said they would.”
