Matt was extremely helpful from the moment we walked in the door. My grandmother had issues with her starter and ignition. The Hyundai dealership had replaced a perfectly good starter when the issue was the ignition. Matt had the ignition replaced in just a few hours for a fraction of what the dealership was charging for a part that wasn't even faulty. If you want great customer service, great value and an honest assessment, Matt is your guy.

I had a great experience working with Roger at Matt's Caddy Shack. I was buying a used diesel pickup from a dealer in San Diego and having it shipped to me in Houston, without being able to go in person for a look. So Roger inspected it for me and did a great job. He found some issues that needed to be taken care of and gave me an excellent run down on exactly what I was buying. Everything about the truck is exactly as he said it was and I have had no surprises after taking delivery. Thanks Roger!!

Today was my first visit to Matt's and I must say it was a great experience. Matt was there and is very friendly. My appointment was for 10am for an oil change, I arrived around 9:40am and they took me in right away. I live in Ramona but will be driving down the hill from now on to have all of my vehicles serviced at Matt's from now on. It's tough to find reliable auto shops these days but Matt's seems to be just that! It's worth the drive to give Matt's a try!

I needed an independent repair shop to check out a used vehicle I was purchasing. It was a jeep and my regular mechanic could not get me in for a week and I needed an appointment ASAP. I was referred to Matt and he was able to get me in the next morning. They got me in and out in a few hours as advertised and to my delight, Matt (the owner) happens to be a jeep owner and has extensive Jeep knowledge. I was very happy with the work and would recommend Matts Caddyshack.

Matt is a straight shooter. His mechanics are top notch. I've been bringing our two trucks, our jeep, SUV, and car here for close to 12 years. Always a perfect fix. I do not trust any other mechanic shop to touch our fleet. Matt's the best there is!! Done deal!

We've had our CTS and Escalade serviced by Matt and his team for the past 2 years. They are outstanding and we are thrilled with their service! After using the dealer's service center, it has been a breath of fresh air working with Matt's Caddy Shack. The price always seems fair, the work is complete and on time, and the staff is extremely professional and friendly. When something goes wrong with one of our cars, it's nice to know that we can call a reliable, trustworthy, competent family business. Thanks so much to Matt and his technicians! We wouldn't take our cars anywhere else for service. -Brad and Kim

We are a fleet management company and work with fleets all over the country. Recently, we had a truck in San Diego at one of the local Dealerships. The reason for taking it in was the check engine light was on. After they diagnosed the problem, they gave us a laundry list of things that supposedly needed to be done totaling $11,151.00. Floored, I began looking for an alternative. Thank Goodness I found Matt's Caddy Shack which among everything else, specialized in diesel. Matt was very professional and easy to deal with. Long story short, Matt's team had the truck repaired, what actually needed to be repaired, and we were out the door the next day back on the road for a total of $1985.00. A savings of $9166.00. I deal with broken vehicles all day long and this was, without a doubt, the most pleasant experience I have had with any repair facility. Highly highly recommend! Thanks Matt!

I've known Matt Ford for going on 3 decades. In that time Matt has worked on a number of vehicles for me, my family and have recommended Matt's Caddy Shack to many people looking for a honest mechanic for a reasonable price. Most recently I took Matt an 05 Escalade that was used as the families back-up vehicle for years and was in need of service that we kept putting off. After picking it up and going over all the work preformed with Matt and him taking the time to show me the old worn parts...he informed me that my 15 year old truck was like new. And after drive it I have to concur. I think what I like most about Matt is his honesty, he is someone I trust and these days...that's hard to find. Sincerely, Harry French

We drove past Matt's shop for years while taking our vehicles to dealerships and other shops for repairs, which took several days for completion and we paid outrageous prices! I am so glad we finally made a switch to Matt's Caddy Shack; it's a true gem. Our experience with Roger and Matt has always been top notch. Dropped off our Cadillac Tuesday am and after new coils, our vehicle was ready to roll this morning! Over the last couple of years they have serviced our Cadillac, Chevy trucks and our Ford work vans, which get tons of abuse. They never fail to deliver with great communication, great service and a great overall experience! I highly recommend you give Matt's a try; you'll be happy you did!

My husband and I have taken two different cars to Matt's Caddy Shack over the past couple of years, and we couldn't be happier with the service and quality we receive. Matt is always extremely friendly and professional, and calling to make an appointment is easy. Turn around time is faster than any other car repair service I've experienced. I only trust Matt and his team with our cars.

I had some major work done awhile back. 6 months outta warranty the issue re-occurred. Matt honored the warranty anyway, that’s integrity! I’ve been using these guys for 5 years now and not a complaint.

I recommend Matt's Caddy Shack to everyone who has an issue with their car... big or small. Great service and Superior technicians! I have had two major repairs done on my 2001 Cadillac. A head gasket job and the transmission removed and repaired. Matt gave me an estimate both times and never went over his estimate. Both repairs were done in a timely manager and my car has never run better. I would never take my car anywhere else!

I recently bought a 2003 Dodge Ram that had some concerning sounds coming from the rear end. After a recommendation from my neighbor, I gave Matt a call to come by and have him take a look. As soon as I pulled up, he was already walking out to greet me and knew exactly who I was. Without skipping a beat, he said "let's go for a drive". My dad used to own an auto shop and he instantly reminded me of my dad and how down to earth he was. No nonsense, just honest and right down to business. He showed me around his shop and took the time to explain to me what the problems could be. I felt at ease knowing what I was up against and felt at ease. I left my truck in his care and he and Roger were kind enough to keep me updated throughout the process. Unfortunately it ended up needing a whole new rear axle, and being a lot more than I expected to spend, but again, Matt put me at ease with a fantastic warranty to back up their work and an overall relatively clean bill of health for my truck. Please don't hesitate to give Matt's Caddy Shack a call. They're a good honest shop that doesn't rely on frills or fancy facilities. Their work speaks for itself.

This was the first time we took a vehicle to Matt's Caddy Shack. He came recommended to us by a friend. Our experience was excellent. They were able to work on our car the next day and had it finished by the end of the day. They replaced the brakes front and back and changed our timing belt. They easily could have told us we also needed to change our water pump, but they said it was in good shape and no work was needed. Communication with Matt was easy and he clearly communicated what needed to be done and the costs involved. We had a great experience and plan to take our vehicles to Matt's Caddy Shack in the future.

If you need routine or major service on your car or truck, bring it to Matt's Caddy Shack. After recently acquiring a 1994 Cadillac Deville, a few of the auto repair shops in north county I brought it to were reluctant to work on it and referred me to Matt's Caddy Shack. After some phone calls with Ron and Matt I dropped it off to get a laundry list of repairs done. Ron was very communicative and up front through the process and would call with the costs of things that needed to repaired for approval before moving forward. They have an experienced team of mechanics which is what you should expect when you want your vehicle repaired right. Even though it was almost an hour drive for me to get my car repaired, it was worth it to bring it to trusted mechanics and I highly recommend Matt's Caddy Shack!

Two thumbs up for Matt's Caddy Shack! They not only took care of a very difficult repair on my truck, but when a few months later I noticed a small issue developing since the repair, they were honest, up front and took care of the issue right away at no cost. They didn't even hesitate to take care of it. They showed how much integrity they have in that moment. I recommend them to anyone in need of auto repairs. Thanks to the entire team!

Years ago, I had Matt's Caddy Shack rebuild my transmission. They did a really good job then and I'm still driving it now. I decided to check with Matt when I needed the dash in my Dodge truck replaced. The guys there were very courteous and did an outstanding job. I couldn't be happier. Will definitely use Matt's for future work I need done on the truck.

I have a fleet of vehicles and have been looking for a reliable shop to help me with the repairs. Matt's Caddy Shack came recommended to me and I had to check them out. They recently replaced a turbo on one of my diesel trucks, and I couldn't be happier. Fast, reliable, honest service. I will be coming back. Thanks Matt, Ron, and Mike for all of your help!
