I found IO Motors by accident several years ago. And what a fantastic accident it has been. Barbara & Rodney and their team are trust-worthy, fair in pricing, and provide great customer service. I've never worried when my car needs something because I know they'll have my best interest at heart with professionalism, a smile, and even empathy when it's not good news. Check them out!

My family & I love IO Motors. Barbara, Rodney & their whole crew are so nice. They are thourough, and I believe cheaper overall than taking your car to the dealership. We have never left a service unhappy or worried that another issue may mysteriously appear (as happened repeatedly at my former dealership) I wouldn't bring my car anywhere else. I highly recommend!

This was my 4th time using Io Motors, and they have consistently provided me with excellent service. The father daughter front facing team show a deep knowledge of cars (in my case a Honda Civic). They explain in detail, include photos, and overall are very clear in communicating the issues with my car and the various solutions possible. No hard sell! As a single female this is so Important to me. I was referred by my neighbor who had only good things to say.

Our truck was towed to their shop; I received a quick evaluation of the issue. The repair was completed quickly at a reasonable fee. The truck runs great I also appreciate how clean their shop is kept. Will definitely return for our service needs Thank you

As a person who has zero mechanical knowledge, I trust IO motors to be honest, reasonable and professional. It’s such a vulnerable feeling when you have to blindly trust someone. They are exceptional.

I’ve been having my car maintained and repaired with IO Motors for close to 10 years and I’m always completely satisfied. I’m so grateful to have found a family-owned business with integrity. I can trust they will take care of what’s needed to keep me safe and the car in working order and nothing more. They are generous, kind and honorable and I highly recommend them to take care of your car! Thank you, Barbara and Rodney!

Io Motors is the best in town! I've never looked forward to mechanic appointments before becoming a regular at Io Motors. Family owned, so friendly, and dependable! My car feels amazing every time I drive it off the lot and it's always fun hanging out with the folks in front while I wait for my car to be ready. I'm a lifer at Io Motors and highly recommend them!

IO Motors did a great job quickly diagnosing my cold start issue, replaced my fuel pump and did a tune up in a couple days. I highly recommend this shop.

Rodney and Barbara, the owners of IO Motors are both a pleasure to work with. Rodney is a genius when it comes to knowing what’s going on with my car. Barbara is a delight to communicate with…I don’t know how she remains so calm, pleasant and professional when there’s a gazillion things going on in the shop. I have been a customer for the past 5 years and I look forward to many more years of satisfying car repairs. Thank you to Rodney, Barbara and their team. Trixie

I am very pleased with the service at IO Motors. They replaced the thermostat on my truck with a follow up service to make sure everything was working properly. Their mechanics are top notch and the office staff is very organized and courteous.

I've been going to Io Motors for several years off and on for my past and present Acura vehicles. I was referred to them by my original mechanic, Toriumi Auto (Dave Senior), when he wasn’t available. Barbara, Rodney, and their staff are awesome. They are reasonable, professional, and always give me an accurate assessment and time frame for my vehicle. Recently, I called in on a Monday morning about a car sensor issue and they fit me in the same day. They ordered the parts and finished within two and half hours. Take note, I did take my car in at 11 am, right before lunch time. Which is still great timing. I also see they now have a new text feature, where they send you updates and the status of your vehicle while it's being serviced? This is super reassuring.🌞 I don't take my vehicle just to anyone. I definitely recommend Io Motors. They are great people and I will definitely be going back. 🌺

We have been taking our cars to Io Motors for years and we always have a great experience. They are thorough, prompt and reasonably priced. However, my favorite thing about them is they make recommendations for things to be repaired or replaced, but are not at all pushy and never try to up-sell us in anything.

The team at Io did an incredible job on my car. I was very impressed by the diagnostic check up that they did. They sent photos of everything that they found with my car and sent written a report noting the urgency of each issue. I had two issues that needed immediate attention, and was not expecting them to be able to get the parts and finish the work in one day, but they had me in the road that afternoon. I highly recommend them.

Io Mortors did a great job on my son's 1991 Nissan 300zx. They replaced the clutch slave cylinder. Will be going back for my next service.

I have taken my cars to IO Motors for years. I always feel that they will give me good advice and perform whatever service my car needs quickly and efficiently. All folks I have met there have been knowledgeable and willing to connect me with reputable businesses to address any services they don’t provide.
