I have been going to My Mechanic for approximately 3 years for everything from oil changes, tires, and repairs to my 2001 F-150 and 2012 Nissan Quest. Chad has always been very honest, competent and only suggested and/or performed repairs or maintenance that was needed and at a fair price. I highly recommend them for any make and model vehicle and have the utmost confidence in their ability. It's nice to know there are still honest businesses still around.

I've always been very satisfied with them and I'd recommend them. They're really good at offering advice - they'll tell me if it needs to be fixed now or if it can be delayed, and I appreciate that.
Description of Work: I've been using them for the last couple of years. They've serviced 3 of my vehicles. I have a 2000 Honda Odyssey, a 2002 Chevy Silverado, and a 1954 Ford F-100. All of my cars have high mileage but this company keeps my cars running. I do a lot of preventative maintenance - I did preventative maintenance on my Honda Odyssey before a 7-week road trip and didn't have any problems at all.

I wouldn't recommend them. He wrote down the wrong location that he worked on. The noise returned and we worked on the opposite side, replacing the opposite hub. The noise was still there. We got a part that was defective from them, too. When we took it back to them, he argued with us for an hour and a half about writing down the wrong information. It seemed like he didn't want to do the work for us, even though the part was under warranty. When we replaced the part on the opposite side ourselves, it took an hour -- which he could have done in the time he was arguing with us. He also complained that we didn't send him any business. His pricing was in line with others, however.

It was great. They are extremely thorough, the not only found all the issues but put all the part #'s on the estimate so I could buy them if I decided to do the work myself. I would defiantly use them in the future.

I suspected a cracked head, based on what My Mechanic told me back in October 2013 after we had several components replaced and/or serviced. We drove the car about fifty miles after the repairs and it again began to smoke, sputter and run hot, so we parked and left it in our garage. In early February we had the car towed to My Mechanic, and Chad confirmed it was a crack in the cylinder head. Jeff, a mechanic, was outstanding. He was professional, courteous, and empathetic when I went in to pay for the diagnosis. In addition, when I had AAA go to tow the vehicle back to my house, Jeff agreed to sign for its release and was a great help to me. I no longer have this vehicle, but I won't hesitate to have my Lexus serviced at My Mechanic if and when it needs care. Chad, the owner, clearly knows his stuff. Jeff is both very personable and a solid mechanic.

Went to "My Mechanic" to diagnose an engine vibration. Chad work on the car for about an hour, he could not pinpoint the exact cause of the vibration. He told me since he couldn?t determine the cause of the vibration, he certainly couldn?t fix it, and there would be no charge for the diagnostic work. It?s really refreshing to come across a mechanic so ethical and honest.

Every experience with My Mechanic is exactly the same. It is outstanding. The perfect mechanic is one who knows what he is doing, and who is honest. It's not too difficult to find a mechanic who knows what they're doing, but finding one who is unfailingly honest and ethical is a lot more difficult. Chad is both. He never tries to convince me to get a service I don't need. I trust him completely. I first went to him when a mechanic whom I had used for a while told me I needed to have $1,300 in repairs done immediately, and that if I didn't get it done within 2-3 months, it would make things much worse. I took my car to Chad. He looked at it, and said that I didn't need to have anything done. Approximately 6 months later, my car is running fine, and Chad saved me $1,300. I only make referrals to individuals whom I can say are the best at what they do. I tell all of my clients (I'm a realtor), friends, and family, that there is only one mechanic to take their cars to and that is My Mechanic. Do yourself, and your car, a favor, and go to My Mechanic. Once you do, you won't go anywhere else/

I have used My Mechanic on several occasions. I would not think of taking my cars anywhere but to My Mechanic. My Mechanic is by far, the most honest and ethical auto repair shop with whom I have ever dealt. I know that if they tell me something needs to be done, it really needs to be done. I am completely confident that they will never, ever try to sell me a service just to make money. If you want to take your car to some fancy auto shop where they serve you gourmet coffee, and know the names of your children and pets, but also find all sorts of things that are "wrong" with your car, beyond what you knew needed repair, My Mechanic may not be for you. However, if you want an auto shop where they really care about your car, where they don't try to get every last dollar from you for repairs you don't need, and where you know they will always treat you honestly. then don't go anywhere else but My Mechanic. I always have felt that I was at the mercy of car repair shops, in that, when they said that something "needed to be fixed," I had to trust that they were being honest with me, and would agree to whatever repair they suggested. However, we all have had experiences where work which wasn't necessary, was recommended by car repair shops. I am so relieved to have found My Mechanic, because I know have a place to take my car to, with total and complete confidence. I know I may sound like a cheerleader for My Mechanic, but that is how strongly I feel about the way they do business. Once you get your car worked on my My Mechanic, you won't go anywhere else. That is, unless you like being charged for work that wasn't necessary in the first place!!
Description of Work: Changed timing belt, diagnosed reason for "check engine light" coming on, preventive maintenance including power steering flush. Evaluated rotors, struts, and shocks, after another car repair shop told me they needed $1,350 of repairs. My Mechanic said they were fine, so saved me more than a thousand dollars.

Chad was really good! I was selling my car and a leak had been discovered by a potential buyer. I wanted to be sure I was selling a car that was in good working order so Chad looked it over and made recommendations on what I need to do to make it safe. He did the work the same day and I sold the car several days later happy in the knowledge that the car was in good condition for the new owner.

My Mechanic provided the best auto service I have ever received. I was able to schedule an appointment for the very next day while it was already very late in the afternoon of the day I called. Upon leaving the vehicle after hours I received a call around 9:30 that next morning with a diagnosis and a cost breakdown. I then received a second call that afternoon saying that my vehicle was repaired and ready to be picked up. I was extremely pleased with Chad, whom I worked with from start to finish. Everything was explained in detail before I dropped off the vehicle and his follow up was impeccable. Literally, I scheduled my vehicles repair, had a the repair diagnosed, then repaired, and returned to me within 24 hours of my vehicles malfunction. I felt very confident with Chad and the experience he demonstrated in explaining everything about my vehicle and the diagnosis. I was also very pleased with the cost and quality of the repair. All around just an amazing experience, I will definitely recommend My Mechanic to anyone in need of vehicle service. Thanks Chad!

I called Chad in the morning and he said I could bring the car in right away. I had him do a check to see what was making a loud rumbling noise in the front of the car. That is when he said it was passenger side wheel hub that needed to be replaced, so I said to go ahead and replace it. It took about an hour and a half to do everything, including having the part delivered. I was glad to drive the car without that loud noise coming from the front.

Service was completed within a day. Apparently due to a short in the circuit to the diagnostic port, it was difficult to pinpoint the exact problem. This is a pre existing problem that Capital Ford attempted to fix, but did not do it correctly. Anyway, they were able to ascertain the problem was due to bad coil on the 4th cylinder. I was given the option to replace all coils and injectors for entire 10 cylinder engine (approx cost $2500), or to replace the one for the 4th cylinder along with fixing the short (approx cost $600) or to manually fix the existing unit that was not working properly due to a broken clip from an earlier repair. I went with the least expensive option, which did the trick. So I am pleased to have the issue resolved on the cheap.

I brought my vehicle in because the check engine light came on and it kept feeling like it was going to stall every time I pressed on the gas. I got a call that day with an estimate and a very thorough explanation as to what was wrong. I think it was a gasket, something in the engine needed to be cleaned and new spark plugs. I told them to go ahead and do the work. The work was completed within 2 days (I told them I was in no hurry to get the vehicle back). Because I had no way during work hours to get my vehicle home I went and paid them and pick up my key over my lunch break and then went back with a friend later that night to pick it up. My dislike of My Mechanic started when I brought the vehicle home. As I drove out of their lot, I noticed that it still had a little of the shudder that it had when I brought it in. Within 5 mi. it felt almost exactly the way it felt when I brought it in. I called the next morning to let them know about the problem. They had no apologies for the inconvenience of this to me, just a "bring it in and we will take a look at it". So I brought it back to them. They called me back that day to let me know that it is the spark plug wires, and that they need to be replaced. Again no apology for not having fixed the problem to begin with. At this point I am wondering if I have just paid them $1000 to fix something that didn't need to be fixed and that it was just the spark plug wires and spark plugs the entire time?!? So I told them to go ahead and replace the wires. When I get there to pick it up they don't make me pay for the spark plug wires but not once does he say sorry, or why they may have missed something like that. Just here are your keys, like nothing happened. I have no clue if I got scamed here or not, I'm not a mechanic, but I know that I didn't feel good when I left so I will not be going back.

This is an automotive repair shop with the owner and one assistant employed. I beleive they do good work at fair prices. I had my truck in at AAA auto center on Atlantic Ave. They said during an oil change that I needed new front brakes. I did not believe them. I took the truck to My Mechanic for a second opinion. My Mechanic examined the front brakes, rear brakes, hand brake, calipers, drums, pads, brake lines, etc. They found nothing and said the brakes were fine...that the brake pads and overall condition of the brakes should last me another 20k miles. This saved me from spending hundreds of dollars for no reason. Hat's off to My Mechanic. I've had no problems with the truck brakes since. NOTE: Be wary of AAA service centers! I think they hire just about anyone who's ever cranked up a car.....

At first I wanted them to replace the computer module with a refurbished one, but after they investigated they told me that this wasn't going to work because the module is tied to the VIN. So, they installed a new one. My truck works better than it did new and it's a 2002 Dodge Dakota.

My check engine light had been on for a few days and I needed to find a mechanic. I am fairly new to the area and used Angie's list to find a reputable auto service provider. I called My Mechanic on a Monday and they told me to bring the car in as soon as I was able and they would diagnose the issue. I was able to drop my car off Tuesday and to my surprise actually found people working at about 9:30 in the evening. The folks in the shop took my spare key and info and told me they would call the next day. I mentioned that just that evening the check engine light had turned off but still wanted to have the car looked at in case it was a symptom of a larger problem. Chad called me the next afternoon and said they had done several diagnostic tests and could only find a small leak near the gas cap, but after several tests and checking the gas cap, they thought everything was fine. In fact, Chad suggested in the least offensive way possible that the issue was due to someone (meaning me) not screwing the gas cap on tightly enough. Despite having a heavy volume that day, Chad offered to show me correct way to make sure the gas cap was secured tightly enough to prevent air getting into the tank. Chad explained that there would be a cost due to the additional diagnostic testing they performed on the vehicle to ensure the leak wasn't bigger than originally indicated. When I arrived to pick up my vehicle, Chad took time to meet with me to show me how to ensure the gas cap is on properly, and also gave me some pointers about my vehicle now that its over 60,000 miles and about 8 years old. I normally loathe having to do anything related to my car because of past experiences with places that try to put the fear of God into you to sell you extra services for their own benefit. Overall my experience at My Mechanic was painless and downright pleasant. I plan to go back when the need arises.
Description of Work: My check engine light had been on for a few days and turned off just prior to dropping off the vehicle for my scheduled appointment at My Mechanic. They tested several times and found a small leak near the gas cap. They did further diagnostic testing to ensure it was not a large leak, and also inspected the gas cap and seals around it to determine any damage.

I was very happy to see there are still honest and competent mechanics
Description of Work: I recently took my wifes Toyota Prius to the dealer in Apex because the window would go up but not stay. I was told that the cost of the repair would be $525 to replace the motor that moves the window. This sounded like to much so I checked angies stand and found My Mechanic. I picked my car up from the Toyota dealer without him having fixed the window. When I called My Mechanic and described the problem, I was told that this happens regularly and that the window mechanism needs to be re-set. He described what to do to fix the window; I did this simple procedure and, the window worked fine. I was shocked that holding down the button on the window could fix this problems that The dealer was going to charge me $525 dollars to fix. I did not need to spend any money on this repair thanks to My Mechanic, but when I do need a repair I will surely take it to them to have it done.

They fixed a noise that had been around for over a year (they've offered to fix it in the past, but we declined when they explained it was not dangerous) and performed several other repairs to get the vehicle ready to sell. Chad allowed us to leave the vehicle while we were on vacation and even called us when one of his other customers expressed an interest in purchasing the car. As always, the repair work was done expertly and the price was fair. We were referred to My Mechanic by a good friend over 10 years ago and have never had anything but a good experience. These guys know cars - and better yet, they know how to treat people well.
Description of Work: Chad and Matt repaired our 2001 vehicle in preparation for selling it.
