My mechanic for 16 years
I have been taking my cars to Patrick for years. He is honest, very reasonably priced, and stands behind his work. On the one occasion that I had a problem with service, he took care of it quickly and fairly. I will continue to use Patrick and recommend him shop to my friends.

Best Place to Get Your Car Fixed
I was looking for a place to get my car fixed. I must say that Patrick fixed my Volvo to perfection. Was a pleasure to do business with him.. I will continue to bring my car to Patrick`s when it needs to be fixed.. Great Job!!!

The ONLY Place I Take My Vehicles
I`ve been taking my cars and trucks to Patrick for years. I`ve always been treated right, got the car back quickly and wasn`t gouged like at some other places.
I initially found out about Patrick`s because my Dad used to live up the street from his shop on Manchester St.
Bottom line, this guy is really good, prices are very fair and he`ll get you back on the road quickly.

Worst Auto Repair
I recently took my auto to Patrick`s even though I heard quite a bit of people saying they had bad experiences with his service. I should have listened. Not only was my auto no repaired correctly, but he also damaged my auto. I tried to get him to make it right, but he had attitude and it ended up costing me almost $1000 already and the original problem is not repaired. Please don`t make the same mistake I did, take ... view moreyour auto business elsewhere.

WOW!!!!
I knew Patrick from a previous business and knew that he was a trustworthy mechanic. WELL....I was wrong! He`s an AWESOME Mechanic!!! My Jetta was having a headlight issue and needed to be fixed. I went to VW and they wanted $$$$$ just to fix the light. And now the blinkers were not working. Didn`t even want to ask what that was going to cost!!!! Then-POOF- I remembered about Patrick. I dropped my car off in the midd... view morele of the night and VIOLA!!! Fixed for a mere fraction of the cost!!!! So if you need ANY repairs done PLEASE come and see Patrick! You and your bank account will be glad you did!!!!

HE`S GREAT!!!
Years ago, my old Nissan pick-up wouldn`t start without rolling it in neutral and popping the clutch. Took it to a couple of chain-store mechanics who told me it was the alternator plus more. Minimum $350. I went to buy the alternator myself and the parts store guy said, ""Have you tried Patrick down the street?"". Patrick took one look and said, You have a bad switch. Got about 25 cents?""
I told him he had a cu... view morestomer for life! Patrick has been my mechanic since 1993 (almost 20 years!). I have referred tons of friends to him over the years. He`s never steered me wrong.

Finally a REAL Mechanic
Patrick`s shop is not what most people are used to these days. There`s no waiting room, no TV, no WIFI, no free coffee, and not even a chair in the office. It`s not the cleanest place but he knows cars.
I had a laundry list of things my car needed. He quoted me a price $700 less than the shops that had all of the features he lacks and he actually came in under the price. He is a real mechanic. No up sell, no press... view moreure and your car is ready when he promises. He will also tell you things you may need to watch for in the future (like if you start hearing this, bring it in and I`ll check it out) not this needs to be replaced now like other mechanics.
When I left, I felt as if I was driving a new car (and mine is 27 years old). I highly recommend Patrick for any repair you may need. I know I`m going back the next time I need service.

AMAZING customer service!!
Patrick is fantastic! I was on tour in Atlanta with my band recently when the dipstick for our transmission fluid gauge got stuck halfway out. I checked on citysearch for the best rated mechanics in the area and found Patrick`s shop. We took it over and Patrick took a look at it right away. He found that the problem was a hole in the pipe that the dipstick feeds into, and called a welder friend of his around the corn... view moreer (Your Body Shop, also great guys!) who welder a patch on it. We brought the van back to Patrick`s, he buttoned up all the panels and had us on our way (this all took under a half hour total!). Not only that, but after all this was said and done, I asked how much we owed him and he said,""Don`t worry about it."" I couldn`t believe it!! I`m not saying you`re going to get your repair job for free, but point is, use this shop and your going to get great work done by honest people and they are going to be fair when they ring you up at the end of the job!

Great shop
I`ve lived in atlanta for 3 years, and I had yet to find a shop that gave me or friends of mine an honest and fair quote. My dad was a mechanic but he lives in Maryland, so finding a good place to take my car when theres problems was a priority. Finally I have found a place I think I can trust.
My car died on a saturday, after checking reviews on citysearch I decided to try Patrick. I left a message and he go... view moret back to me as soon as the shop opened tuesday (3day weekend) He gave me the number of a guy to tow my car in, and it was a fair price, and had it diagnosed and price quoted quickly. Granted my problem was a pretty obvious one (needed a new starter) but I appreciated how quickly he got it all together. The price was very fair, I know it was a lot cheaper than a lot of other shops. He completed to work that afternoon and it was a very pleasant experience overall.
I will say the shop is a small one that doesnt look like a million buck exactly from the road, but I know I value good work and fair pricing a heck of a lot more than surface appearance.

Honest, dependable and a freind as well.
Patrick is a dependable mechanic that doesn`t take advantage of you. He`s on time, affordable and you can`t beat the location. Patrick has been our mechanic for almost 16 yrs.
