From the time my parents moved to Charlotte in the early 80's, until they moved in 2001, they brought their cars here. Any time I was in town, I always did the same. There are several reasons for that. After moving back to Charlotte a couple of weeks ago from the West Coast, I heard a funny noise coming from the rear axle of my '05 S2000. Even though it's clear on the other side of town from where I'm living, my first thought was to take her over to Compact Car to check it out. Even though I walked in during a pretty busy afternoon, I was helped promptly by a service tech, who knew exactly what questions to ask about any other problems I'd had with the car, and inside of half an hour he was pulling it back up in front of the waiting area. The diagnosis was what I had pretty much suspected- a loose axle nut- and when I asked him how much I owed him, he shrugged and said not to worry about it. This is how customer service is supposed to be done, and needless to say I'll be bringing my baby back there for an oil change next week. Honest folks, more than fair prices, and quality of work. That's why my family's been going to Compact Car for 20+ years, and as long as I'm in NC, they'll work on any Hondas that I own. One more thing: I just called here to schedule more service on my car, and they had me in their computer system from the last time I had a car worked on by them- TEN YEARS AGO. Now that's dedication in my book.

Solid lounge atmosphere, complete with dim red lighting and throwback tunes mixed in with more contemporary tracks. The $4 daily cocktail special is pretty legit. 5-7pm happy hour on draft beers and half off apps. The patio is great on a nice day.

I have been Goyemon's customer since they open, feel really bad to see its getting worst here. Hostess ( long dark hair ) has a real bad attitude, set at the sushi bar, looking forward to have some fun time, the older chef Harry acts like I have killed his dog. Bad experience!

The food at the all American grill was very well done and tasted fantastic. My server was very nice and I could really relate to her. :)
