What clients say about First Rate Motors in Effort (PA)
I had tires put on my SUV. Mitch and Dave were great to chat with. The work was done quick, it was affordable, and it was overall a very pleasant experience!
This place hasn't let me down once. They are honest and fair. They don't push to do more for yout car than what it needs.. Any work I can't do myself, I trust these guys to do
If your 🚗 got problems, First Rate Motors is the place to go. Not J.W. or M.D.T. Reasonable prices and very very kind people. I highly recommend F.R.M.
This auto shop saved me. I was in town for a festival and my car broke down. I called like 6 shops. The other shops tried to tell me I needed a whole new engine or radiator. As a girl in her early 20’s I feel a lot of auto shops try to screw you over. This shop got my car down same day and only charge $180. The guys were professional and even checked if I made it home safe. Best shop in the area!
Mitch and his crew have come through twice now with issues with my wheels on my tesla no other shops around would even consider working on it and he didn't hesitate at all, even a few minutes to closing he won't leave you hanging will continue to use them. Thanks again!
I am very impressed by Mitch and his team. They are always so nice and really know their stuff. They treat their customers with respect and their prices are far better than other places I've tried since moving to Albrightsville in 2020. It's a bit of a drive for me but having a trustworthy mechanic is worth it. I highly recommend 1st Rate Motors to anyone who wants an honest assessment & price. Thank you to all at 1st Rate Motors for taking such good care of my car & me. 🙂
Mitch and his team are honest guys who do great work and fair pricing. I came in with my Honda Odyssey 2006 to replace a Rack & Pinyon and the work was done timely and professionally. Even though I have other repairs to get done, Mitch has my car driving better than when I first purchased it. I’m new to the area, and this will be the shop I will be going to from here on out. Thanks, Mitch.
We are from out of town and slipped on black ice on the drive up & messed up the car. They looked at it day of and were so helpful & didn’t even charge us a thing! I would highly recommend.
Mitch and the shop here are honest and competent mechanics. It's hard to come by a really fantastic auto shop, but these folks are the real deal. They're a pleasure to do business with and always come through when you need them. Their work is always transparent and of the highest quality. We weren't surprised, but it made my family and I glad to see other positive reviews singing the same praises. Thanks guys!
I pulled into the parking lot 15 minutes after closing and Mitch was awesome. He put my spare on and gave me excellent advice. They were very friendly and helpful. Thank you so much!
Love these guy's! They have had my car service business for the past 20 years. Hard working, honest and highly skillful. I've recently moved out of the area and miss my mechanic Mitch Michelin most of all !!!
Mitch, Dave, “Frenchie”and the crew are awesome, honest and trustworthy. The amount of care they exercise in making sure your vehicle is safe and sound so you are confident there will be no problems on the road is above and beyond what you could expect anywhere. Prices are fair, work is professional and the availability is acceptable. The place is always busy which is a good sign of success and the family and caring oriented personalities of the entire crew make you rest easy leaving the keys for them to perform the work. I take all my motor vehicles to them and I have quite a few.
I like this place. The technical and customer service that Mitch and his crew provide is great. And the prices are more than fair. Being new to this area I have tried a couple of local shops to compare rates and service. Now that I have a good idea of what is available I have made my decision and will be a returning customer here. Mitch and Francisco are skilled, friendly and professional. Thanks for taking my jeep in on short notice and doing a great job. I am very particular on who I let work on my 85 CJ7. 1st Rate is also the best for vehicle inspections.
I have been using this place for a little over a year now. Mitch and Dave are awesome! They are always honest reliable and really try to help repair the problem without an exorbitant cost. Can’t remember the mechanics name but he is wonderful too! Highly recommend this trustworthy mechanic
My son's GFs tire went flat and I drove him here. They quickly fixed the tire. Being that she bought her tire here recently there was no charge for the fix. Not sure why tire went flat, but they do stand by their work and take care of their customers ♡
I was extremely impressed with this shop. I brought my car in a couple times last minute for small services and I was taken care of right away. The Nissan Dealership had given me the runaround on when they’d get to my car, which was in a 2 wk time frame. 1st Rate Motors had me diagnosed in less than 4 hrs and fixed in less than a day. Everyone was extremely polite and I would def recommend them to friends & family.
I was on the side of the road in the rain, someone brought my tire that was flat to them. They took my tire right away, checked it for a leak, put it back together, and gave it back- no charge. I was lucky bc even though the tire was flat, we are all stumped how, but 1st rate motors took care of me quick and at no cost to help me get off the side of the road. I really appreciate them for their quick help! I am back driving on that tire with no problems since it was fixed! Thanks, you guys are always great at what you do! Ty Mitch!
Simply put the best place to get your vehicle fixed. Mitch and his crew are very professional trustworthy and above all completely honest. Unbelievably accommodating and understanding. Best prices and time for work i have ever come across. There is no place else me and my family will go. I work 3 hours away out of state and would have my car towed to mitch to make sure I get the best work done anywhere. The most honest,trusting and helpful shop you could ever hope to use. Can't say enough about how happy I am.
Great place to get your car repaired. Extremely reasonable prices and quality work. Everyone was very friendly. The most honest garage I have ever been to. Not a chain garage, the mechanic is the owner. He has 2 employees who work for him. I will return to First Rate Motors anytime I need car repairs and reccomend them to anyone who needs car repairs.
Honestly they are always the best here. I go here for almost all of my car problems. Super reasonable, Get you in and out, and are genuine people who know what they're doing. Why would you go anywhere else?
The owner Mitch is great and I've have a bunch of work done by him and his crew. Hes very polite and fairly priced. I reccomend everyone to this place!
Mitch is the most honest auto mechanic in the area. Me and my family have been talking our vehicles here for years and never had a bad experience. One time i Left his shop after paying the bill he calls me as soon as I get home telling me he accidentally overcharged me by $100.00 and told me to come back to his shop so he could give me the money back very honest! Another time I brought my vehicle there he diagnosed the problem and told me there was a recall for the problem and for me to take it to the dealer and they could repair the problem for free. Mitch never even charged me for his time to see what was wrong with the car. I recommend these guys big time! great people! awesome service!
I've been using 1st Rate for several years now, after I was ripped off by another popular auto-mechanic in Brodheadsville. Mitch and his team have always been honest...forthright...and extremely accommodating. Bar none, the best team of mechanics in the area!
