There are some professions that have a reputation for taking advantage of their clients or customers. Typically, these tend to be professions where the general layman can’t accomplish the task or job himself. By this measure, auto mechanics would make the list of professionals who could take advantage of their customers’ lack of knowledge about their vehicles. At UpTown Auto, we operate by a list of guiding principals: The Auto Mechanic’s Code of Ethics. We take great pride in knowing that every customer is treated to a quality experience, each and every day.
