What our customers say
“Matthew is extremely skilled and versatile and was able to do the job much faster than the other places, which saved a lot of money. Very high quality work. A true mechanic, not a ‘parts changer.’ He takes very good care of my Honda Civic.”
“Matt is competent and honest. Quite frankly, he is the best mechanic I have ever encountered. Added to this, he has a friendly, customer service way about him.”
“These guys are great. Work done UNDER estimate. They stopped half way and said, this may take up to 2.5 hours, are you still OK, and is the budget still OK. They completed it in 2 hours. Honest, competent people.”
“Matthew replaced a timing belt on my 1989 Honda Civic, fixed tires, changed oil and fixed a leak in the engine. He worked with me on the price to keep the project within my budget.”
“Fabulous. Matt exudes professionalism and knowledge. I am soooooo happy to have someone I trust to work on my ancient Acura in Charlottesville.”
“Like all the other reviews indicate, Matt is great. Honest, thorough, goes the extra mile, and explains everything to the customer. A gem of a mechanic.”
