Matt and Dylan are the best mechanics I've met. Excellent troubleshooting and warranty any issues. They are always super busy, so know it can be a wait sometimes. I still take all my cars and friends cars to matt. I still couldn't recommended MDR more.

Recently took my 2017 whipple mustang to D&H automotive for a ac service only to be told that I needed to replace the whole a/c system and was then quoted $3,000+ to get it replaced.. I wanted a 2nd opinion so this morning I took my car to Matt at MDR automotive and told him what I was told from d&h about needing the whole system replaced, matt thought that was wierd so he said let's just put it on the ac machine and see what it says.. after about 30 minutes matt stated the a/c system was 100%fine and my issue was low speed cooling fans not turning on.. after about 4 hours we figured out the culprit, which was just a misplaced relay.. so all in all matt saved me $3,000+ he also worked on my car for 4+ hours and only charged me 150 for the normal ac servicing! Everyone should get a 2nd opinion with automotive mechanics, or just bring your car to Matt at MDR automotive and he will treat you with kindness and not charge you for parts that were never needed.. if I could rate 10 stars I would!!!

Visit the store few days ago for few issues. Matt is super friendly and professional. He identified the issues for my headlights and window switches quickly, also he didn't charge any fee for the investigation. Also had my windshield replaced in the store for fair price. Will definitely recommend to anyone about this store.

I can't say enough good things about this family-owned mechanic shop. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and confident that my car was in good hands. Their honesty and professionalism are truly rare to find these days. They took the time to explain what was wrong with my vehicle, provided a fair estimate, and got the work done quickly and efficiently. What sets them apart is their genuine care for their customers, they treat you like family, not just another job. The quality of their work is top-notch, and I’ve never felt pressured into unnecessary repairs. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and skilled mechanic, look no further. They’ve earned a loyal customer in me, and I highly recommend them to anyone in need of car repairs or maintenance. Support this local business, you won’t be disappointed!

Walked in due to issue with my vehicle undercover. Although they were working with other clients, they kindly checked and quickly repaired. Very impressed of their sincere service.

Reasonably quick, great price, honest, great customer service. He kept my project close to the originally quoted price despite finding and fixing numerous additional issues that were pretty substantial. 10/10 would recommend. I'll be sending my Redding friends here for their repairs.

Matt always does an incredible job diagnosing and finding the quickest, most cost efficient solution possible! He is not afraid to work on my VW! I highly recommend his mechanical expertise to anyone looking! He puts your mind at ease and is super fair.

Matt and Dylan worked on our older vehicle when other shops turned us down. They were able to get us back on the road quickly and fixed an issue caused by a different mechanic. Very reasonable prices. Highly recommend!

This is my favorite Auto Shop ever! Matt, his wife and son are always very attentive, caring, kind and never once tried to rip me off. They always give me a great deal and tell me the truth about what actually needs done (opposite to what Toyota of Redding tries to do every-time!) Matt is so generous, honest and always goes above and beyond! Always!! Totally recommend this shop :) I came here for the first time a few years ago through a friend’s referral who owns a car rental business in town and he gets all his cars worked on by Matt. I’m so glad I bring mine here too.

We had a clutch go out on a Saturday early evening. They were still open! we dropped the car off, and got it back with a new clutch in 1 business day! Price was fair, time to accomplish repairs was great and communication was great with Matt to get all the repairs accomplished. Go here if you need to get good work done at a reasonable price, and in a timely manner!

My wife’s car was acting funny on a Saturday the temperature sensor went out. He fixed her car within a hour of her calling to schedule an appointment for a 3rd of what most shops would have done it for. Very honest and reliable service.

These folks are as good as they get. Not only did they work me in as I was traveling thru but they went out of their way to accommodate my trailers needs. Two trips to parts stores all the while I’m just chilling. They did a great job and father son and some mama in there was the best! Thank y’all so much! Charlene from Mississippi

The family owned and operated shop is a nice atmosphere. Both of them have helped me out alot. And given me lots of knowledge that I utilize in my diy repairs on personal vehicles. Every time I've asked them a question I was stumped on or just needed to have a 2nd opinion these guys know the answer. I've learned a thing or two and would trust any of my vehicles in their care.

Matt and staff are great very welcoming. I can't thank them enough, my car broke down on a trip 8hrs away from home, I called Matt and even though they were busy they went out of there way to check my car, thank god my car made it to there shop and found out it was the transmission that broke, he suggested and help us call the dealership, found out Car is still under guarantee, he did not charge me a penny and while we waited for tow truck, we were welcome to wait in there waiting area very comfortable. Thank You MDR.

We have been taking our vehicles to mdr for the past 9 years. Once we found Matt and family we never looked back! We only trust Matt and Dillon to do any and all work for us on our personal and buisness vehicles.They are the gem of mechanic shops in the northstate. Honest, efficient and reliable. What else could you really need when it comes to the safety of your family on the road. Thank you Matt and Dillon! We will reccomend and return for as long as you are in business.

TLDR: Highly recommend. *cross posted on the yelp Long overdue review - Matt and his family saved my a$$ in August 2022 when my car decided to die on I-5 in 109 degree heat. After AAA told me that there were no mechanics available in Redding over the weekend (which was a lie, there just weren't any in their own network), I cruised / pushed my car to their shop on a Saturday, where they immediately diagnosed it and gave me an honest assessment of what it would take to get fixed. Thankfully, they managed to source the part that I had needed relatively easily since they just had another Mazda customer that went through the same issue, and didn't charge me for the week that I had to leave my car in their lot. It's the little things that matter - and when me and my three dogs were overheated and stressed while waiting, they actually went to the corner store and got each one of my dogs a puppy ice cream to keep them cool. After that, they probably could have robbed me blind and I wouldn't have cared.

I've had plenty of work done on my vehicles here. Brought my brothers truck here last night after 3 other shops had "Fixed the brake pressure issue" & resolved a few others due to the other shops negligence. Just all around great service.
