Motor Motion did a fine job. They were efficient. They held to their timelines. They were courteous about providing transportation while the car was under service like back to my work and picking me up and that kind of stuff.

The service was really great. If you don’t have a scheduled appointment they will try their best to fit you in as soon as possible. The people there are very friendly and helpful. If something needs to be repaired, there is no pressure to have it addressed immediately. They are informative about what needs to be repaired.

I think they are overpriced, and I am not going there anymore. The last time I went there, they wanted to charge $3000. I think their work is okay, it is just that they are way too expensive for me. I found another place, and they are a lot better at checking things.
Response from MOTOR MOTION

The prices were reasonable. They have a very good Diesel engine mechanic. Shuttle service.

"Thank you very much for your feedback we take your experience at Motor Motion Automotive very seriously. I may be incorrect but it appears from your description that you had an B maybe an A experience with us and will be using us again, I am confused why we scored so low in our grade with you in the different categories? We always want to give you an A+ experience at Motor Motion Automotive. Thank you for giving us your trust and loyalty over the past 10 years and we look forward to serving you in the future. Sincerely, Caleb & Greg"

They drove all the way to Sacramento to get the parts for my fuel line. Because of GM deciding to no longer make SAAB's the parts are already becoming scarce. Motor Motion is about professionalism and service and keeping you on the road.
They have a full service shop with shuttle service, coffee, Popcorn, etc.
They have a rewards program for those who are into regular scheduled maintenance as well that give a a very tiny discount, which I find not very rewarding when the bill is as high as mine was. I got 25 bucks credit toward my next maintenance for the $2,500 and that was disappointing. Not very rewarding if you ask me.
Greg and his son Caleb are very professional as well their staff. I enjoy talking with them, like regular people not just some retail clone.
My repair was done with a 30,000 mile warranty or 6month certificate on the Fuel pump/line given to me with the receipt.
Caleb was always giving me an update on the progress.
They always are thankful for patronizing their business. They call you and thank you always. Also they call to check on your car if you haven't been in a while.
I've probably had about 3,000 dollars spent there, and I can't say I am not happy with the work. The car runs great.
They need to dump the rewards program because it's not entirely rewarding and a bit insulting when you get barely a quarter of what you paid into it.

They are way too pricey. I am probably not going there anymore. They wound up saying it would be $3,000 to fix everything and I wound up spending $1,600. Every time I go in there, it is super pricey. It is pricey, pricey and I really can't afford it. I'm not sure there's not something better out there. I don't think the work is real bad but it is always real expensive. The quality is okay but sometimes it feels like it is still rough riding.
Response from MOTOR MOTION
"[member name removed]I would like to sincerely apologize that you left here with that perspective. It is always our goal to give you the most thorough, professional quality service possible. We are very thorough when inspecting your vehicle and always try to tell you about everything your car needs. Sometimes that means delivering "bad" news or informing you about items that may not be broke now but are a cause for concern. It is our responsibility to ensure that we inform you about everything that we can see a potential concern. Now we inform you, and leave the decision up to you because that is our job and we take that responsibility seriously. We don't do "hard Selling" or "high pressure" selling because we desire to build trust and a long lasting relationship with all of our clients. It is not possible to build consistent trust by being dishonest. That is why when we see an area of your vehicle that (based on our experience and education in the automotive repair industry) is a current OR near future concern relating to safety OR preventive maintenance, we are upfront and inform you. We offer a 24 month/24,000 mile Nationwide Warranty on parts and labor on all repairs we performe... that is better than the manufacturer or dealerships warranty. We can't promise to be the cheapest in town, but we will always put our best food forward to make sure you stay on the road and get quality service at Motor Motion Automotive. If we went wrong somewhere or made a mistake other than informing you what needed fixed and being too pricey, I would sincerely ask you contact me so we may go about fixing the issue. We want your feedback so we can improve. Thank you for your feedback we always take it seriously! Sincerely, Caleb"

They are a little expensive but it was good service. I still have to call them and tell them that something is not working on my gauge but other than that, it was pretty good. I spent $2,000 on the diesel truck and $800 on the other. They are good, reliable and honest. They are a little pricey but it is quality work. He was pretty professional.

I needed to have my battery changed...which was not done at that time. They instead checked the electrical system. Two days later :had to take the car back to have the battery replaced...which is what I had wanted done in the first place. The battery was purchased from them about 2 years ago...and it was a 5 year battery. I was charged an additional 40 dollars for them to take the battery out of the car and clean under the battery...and clean the cables...the tow truck driver had already cleanded the battery cables. Was not called about the additional cost. I would have just had the battery replaced at that time. Pro-rated battery cost 22 dollars.

They replaced the water pump, timing belt and did a valve job on my 2001 VW New Beetle. They are upfront about the cost, accomplished the repair promptly and stand behind their work. When two after market replacement water pumps (from NAPA Auto Parts) they installed failed they installed a genuine Volkswagen water pump all for no additional charge. I have been going to MM for about 7 years. The work is good, Greg and Tom are knowledgeable and pleasant to work with. I have called them with questions or looking for advice about my cars and they always have something positive to contribute.
