Editorial review from Citysearch

Highly disappointed. Looked up the reviews, thought it would be a good place to take my car and convenient to my home. Went there to have a fuel leak fixed, paid cash and left with my car sounding like it had no exhaust. I returned to ask about it and was told that that is how it was when I brought it there and said he would only charge me $120 to fix the problem. The only problem I had was the fuel leak. Matt the Me... view morechanic created the other problem. Matt the Mechanic is said to have reasonable prices... Now I know why he charges you less, breaks something else and then charges you more to fix that problem. I WILL NEVER GO THERE AGAIN. I did not let him fix what he ""broke"". I would rather pay someone else double then to pay him one more cent. Horrible business man!

Horrible Service

Went to him for diagnostic last Tuesday. We made an appointment for the repairs for Saturday at 8:30am. Matt told me to call him Friday and he would order the parts. He wasn`t going to order them unless I confirmed that I would be there. I called him Friday morning around 9:30 and confirmed the Saturday (next day) 8:30am appointment. I arrived there at 8:25 Saturday morning. The place was closed. I waited. ... view moreA little before 9am another guy arrived. He said he didn`t know where Matt was but I could leave my car there. I chose to wait. I waited until 9:15. That other guy tried Matt`s cell phone and got no answer. I had to take the dog to the vet so I left my vehicle and my friend that followed me there took me to get the dog and to the vet. After the vet appointment we drove back to Matt The Mechanic. This was 11:32am. No one was there. The doors were locked, my calls went unanswered. My key was locked inside and I had no way of leaving with my vehicle. My vehicle was still in the same spot as I left it. I could tell nothing had been done. I found the side gate opened and walked to the back. The other guy was in the back fumbling around. You can hear the phone ring outside the closed building but he still didn`t answer it. I told him that I wanted my key and was leaving since my 8:30am appointment had past 3 hours earlier. He said that Matt had called him and should be there in a half hour or so. The `or so` is the questionable part since he was already 3 hours late. No one bothered to call me and let me know the appointment wasn`t going to be made, no one called me in the 3 hours since the appointment. He can`t even say that an emergency came up since he called and said he would be there in 30 minutes or so. NEVER let someone in a small business that has no customer service skills and no interest in keeping their appointments do anything for you.

Yay Matt!

Matt the Mechanic is awesome!! My boyfriend and I both have older vehicles, so of course we have had issues. Anywhere else we`ve tried to take them for repairs have wanted to charge TONS for labor. Not Matt, his prices are way cheaper and most importantly, he does a great job. It`s nice to know that there are still honest people out there that work hard, charge fairly and won`t try to rip you off.

Honest competent fair pricing

this guy has been my mechanic for almost 2 years and does everything from my oil changes to changing my hyundai`s transmission overall he`s saved me 2/3 over dealership pricing and does as good of a job if not better than the dealerships I used to go to. GREAT highly recommended

I have gone to Matt for severa...

I have gone to Matt for several years and he is always honest about his priceand also very reasonable. He does not nickle and dime you to death if he finds soething tht needs fixed he lets you know what it is and how much but also will tell you if its something you can wait to do or if it really needs done right away and if he tells you it will be one day then you have your car back in one day. We even use Matt for o... view moreur business vehicals.

Best Mechanic in town!

My car broke down on me late in the day on a Saturday just 3 hours before I had to be to work. I called everywhere for a quote. Tuffy Auto Care, which I DO NOT recommend, quoted me over $400!!! I called Matt and his price was half that! AND, he dropped everything and finished my car with plenty of time for me to grab a shower, a bite to eat and still make it to work! I will never go anywhere else ever again. Don`t le... view moret his garage fool you, Matt is a top notch mechanic and a very friendly guy. He has the absolute BEST prices in town!
