My daughter purchased a 2007 Toyota Highlander back in August 2018. We had it mechanically inspected and found that it needed a new timing belt. We negotiated a good price of $500 to fix. She paid this on top of the purchase price. Since then it has needed a new alternator, battery, alternator belt, AC belt and and a complete exhaust replacement including the catalytic convertor. Monty assured us he had done all the routine replacements on this car but that was not case. Even the supposed new battery was defective and had to be replaced.

Went in with grinding brakes, assuming the worst. They found that it was just some dirt grinding around, cleaned them out, good as new, only charged for the inspection. They really could have screwed me there, and I'd have been none the wiser. Guy who helped me out was kind and honest.

Fixed my starter on my 01 Hyundai Accent. He found the cheapest price for the part and gave me a reasonable price for the fix and an oil change. Fixed my car in a very timely manner (next day) and communicated with me through every step

I've taken many vehicles here for service over the past 5+yrs. Prices are fair, Monte & his techs always listen to my concerns. They call me before they do any work. They will put in any parts you bring. They cant warranty those parts, but do garintee their labor. If the part fails you will still have pay part/labor charges to replace. If ever there is an issue w/a repair (parts/labor that the shop provides) he corrects it w/no problems. He also has no problems showing you the proposed repairs & will give you the broken parts if you request them as long as there is no core charge. He does have signs posted around the shop that they are not responsible for break-ins or thefts of items or vehicles. LOCK UP YOUR S$$$ Park overnight @ your own risk. There are many cameras on the property to assist police if needed. The shop does get very, very busy & phone calls are not always answered/returned. I find it best to just stop in to ask questions & do scheduling. Once your vehicle is in the shop, they do get back to you. Also it is posted that if you don't pay for your vehicle repairs on time there is a daily charge. So don't have your vehicle fixed if you can't pay for the repairs. Gerra Alhassan

I paid to get my car fixed only to get it back worse than when I picked it up. The guy Alex told me I have another problem with my car other than what I brought it in for but the paperwork he gave me says the work he should have done which is not done. I asked to speak with Monte the owner I was told he was aware of the situation and would be there soon after waiting for about 50 to 45 min. I called the shop number and left a detailed message about what happen. I have yet to get a call back it's 2 days later and I've been calling but no answer. If you go here I would advise you test drive your car before paying. I will not be going back. I spent 530. To get my control arm and the rod fixed. when I asked him why the wheel and tires are not matching in direction (Alex) he told me thats a separate proplem not what he was to fix and that I should b happy because he gave me a deal.

Great experience! The owner was honest about work that needed to be done and even worked with me to find a more adorable quote! I had problems with my brakes for about 9 months. Literally wasted $2,500 getting them fixed over and over within that time. Went to Monte’s, they found the problem right away and was finished with my car within 2 hours at the most!!! Turns out my calibers went out lol. ONLY THING I CANT STAND, THEY DONT EVERRRRRRR ANSWER THE MF PHONE! But I love it here for the most part.❤️

I had a great experience here. The owner was very accommodating and did not try to get one over on me. Everytime something was wrong he showed me so I could be assured about what NEEDED to be done. Nobody tried to upsale me on products and services that were not needed. Also, throughout the my time there the owner educated me on some issues about the car, as well as some cheap alternatives repairs. At the end of my visit I left very happy. The owner had great customer service, the mechanic did great, and I did not break the bank which is great for a college student like me.

Knowledgeable. Trustworthy. Affordable. Monte thoroughly went over what needed to be done (and why), what could wait (sigh of relief) all in a way I could understand from a non-mechanic view. Nice, professional and was able to quote me at a 1/3 of the cost of what the big commercial shops were trying to charge – didn’t feel pressured and felt an honest approach was taken about what I actually needed rather than being up-sold of unnecessary repairs. Solid shop!

My Mom and Uncle have been going to Monte’s for a few years now and never had an issue.. I’ve also go through Monte’s as well and they do such an amazing job. No complaints here.. I especially like the fact that I can buy my own parts for them to use.

Monte does a great job. His staff know cars. He's honest and the prices are good. It was my first time doing business at the shop and they were excellent. I will be back for more.

Had issues with my brakes last summer, replaced my own brake line, had to have Monte's bleed my ABS brakes, I did have to wait a few days for an appointment, but was able to manage without my car until it got fixed. Gave good service and fair pricing (quoted slightly less than other local shops but I don't know if this is the norm). The work was done fast after I dropped it off. I am thinking going back soon to get an inspection and tune up.

This place is a great little gem right in our neighborhood! Had an issue with one of my tires on a late Friday afternoon and was sure absolutely no place could help me. Despite having driven past this business thousands of times I’ve never stopped in for service. I stopped in and was warmly met by the helpful staff who were happy to share they could squeeze me in due to a couple cancellations. They got me in and out in no time. I am happy to refer people there for service. Thank you for doing good work in our community.

If you're looking for a good mechanic down to earth people very knowledgeable friendly service definitely consider this mechanic shop. I was tired of getting ripped off by other mechanic.Shops in the area tried them once never looked back. Still use them for oil changes in any mechanical issues to this day. Highly recommended.
