Car nerds , Matt and Rory always has not only got to my car pretty immediately but today they went above and beyond by replacing my battery free. For ever greatful. And I've always and will continue to recommend. They are superb .
I've been coming here for years because it is truly the only place I trust to give me an honest diagnosis and an honest price. Matt is always willing to answer my questions no matter how dumb they may seem. I wouldn't spend my money any where else.
The authorized dealer repair shop told me that I needed $3200 of repairs and I wanted to get a second opinion. Matt at Car Nerds checked it out and said the car was fine and didn't even charge me for the diagnostic. I'm going to take my car there in the future for service.
They’ve taken excellent care of my >200k 2000 MBz E320 4Matic wagon! They’ve also been of great assistance in advising about priorities and cost given its age. They’ve kept it running for me!
I came in for an inspection and the staff made time to do it late in the day and were very reassuring and had informed me that my vehicle was fine. Was honestly probably the easiest, quickest and best car service I have ever received.
Love these guys! They replaced the backup cam on my Honda for far less than the dealership wanted to charge. I was in and out in a few hours. Awesome customer service and A+ work
I've been going to Car Nerds for nearly 8 years! Ronnie has been so good to me over the years and always giving me his honest input on how to best handle situations with my aging car. It's nice having all my info in one place and having someone I can really trust to take care of my car and not take advantage of me. Thank you Ronnie! And Matt who handles the front desk is super nice too :)
Diagnosed my cars issues in 15 mins. Had my car in and out in less than 2 hours. Great service, transparent, and friendly. Quote dealership gave me to fix was 60% higher than what CarNerds charged.
Even though Car Nerds is 15 miles away from me, I have been taking my Prius there for I think over a year now, following a recommendation from another customer. They are always very busy but they also remain flexible, friendly, and knowledgable which I appreciate.
Great experience here today with our Toyota lock and key issue. Found this place through a trusted recommendation and they were so right. Knowledgeable, honest, and kind! 10 stars, highly recommend, and we’ll be back next time!!
This place provides best service with great customer care. I trust them more time i come and it’s best in town. My car engine light was constantly on because it was old mini cooper and had lot of issue. They took good care of my car and gave me good advice thank you so much!
4 years ago they replaced a transmission for me which is still working great. Recently they were able to solve a difficult engine issue that a local motor service shop could not. I very much appreciate being told about additional maintenance the vehicle would need in the near future without any pressure to have them do the work. Great front office and the master mechanic must know his stuff.
This is one of the best auto repair shops I've ever been to. They know exactly what they are doing when it comes engines, batteries and steering problems, even on a 2008 Ford Hybrid, which they've helped me keep running for years.
Most importantly, the person to person interaction from business to customer is friendly and efficient. I highly recommend this place!
These guys are so honest. I brought my car in for brake, rotors, and a brake fluid check, and they told me I was good for another 6 months! Who does that?! It didn't cost me one cent.
Their services are also decently priced. I highly, highly recommend Car Nerds. I will start bringing my car there for service instead of my dealership.
Professional, trustworthy and GREAT service. Best experience with a mechanic ever! My car's AC compressor went out and I drive for Lyft so I HAD to fix it ASAP. He got it fixed super fast and found me the part I needed for a great price! The AC is ice cold now and I get to keep making a living without having to deal with anyone trying to take advantage of me.
Gil and Rony are the BEST! They are very professional, courteous and attend to my car's needs in a timely fashion. I appreciate their customer service and support, they go above and beyond, I am happy to support their business, I come here every time my hybrid car needs a fix.
