Motorcar Makeovers in
Blue Bell (PA)

Scott and his team are phenomenal. I had a very expensive quote from an Audi dealership to repair a mirror. Scott was quick to assess the problem order the parts and had my repair done quickly once the part came in. Highly recommend Scott and Motor Car for any auto servicing they supply.

Excellent customer service. They were quick and efficient. Reasonably priced too.

Trustworthy and dependable work. Great team of professionals that have been servicing my vehicles for over 25 years.

My husband and I switched Mechanics after our regular guy retired. We were very lucky to find Motorcar Makeovers and have been taking our vehicles there consistently for a couple of years now. The service is excellent and the team is really helpful. I recently wanted to get my Very old Volkswagen cabrio fixed and was advised against it because it just wasn't worth the cost. Somewhere else might just let me throw a bunch of money at a bad investment. They've been helpful in giving me advice as I'm looking for a used car to replace it and if I do end up purchasing one I will be bringing it there for servicing. Definitely recommend.

I took my car in for inspection, knowing that at 50,000 miles I would need to replace major components. I had a date conflict at the last minute and said to do what they could by noon and I’d reschedule for the rest. Scott and his team took care of my conflict by inspecting. installing brakes, tires and other required items before noon. Thanks for the consideration and helping me out.

We’ve been going here for years, great service, great professionals. They even offered to pick my wife up to come get her car.

This shop is at the top of the car care industry! On this trip to motor car makeovers, Scott and Mike and the team helped me complete my dream car for my family and myself, our 1967 Shelby GT350 Tribute! They went over the entire car, balanced the tires, adjusted the clutch and front wheel bearings. They performed a four wheel alignment with custom specifications to the build. They installed custom suspension parts that I could not install. They called me during the work to see if I agreed with the adjustments. This has been a multi decade, restoration project involving the help of so many people. I would not take this car anywhere else. We are very lucky in our area to have a shop like this, there are many shops in this general vicinity, but no one compares! Thank you guys! Jim S

Superb work, wonderful and friendly team and.a pleasure to work with from start to finish. My car has not looked this good since I bought it!

The greatest group of automotive technicians I’ve ever seen assembled in one place. The depth of automotive knowledge in this building could take on the rest of the world combined. All this on top of being a group of great humans. I happen I never have to let anyone outside of Motorcar Makeovers ever touch one of my vehicles again. Invoicing is an absolute steal knowing the level of care and expertise I’m getting for my money. Truly pleasurable experience every time.

Super quick, really responsive, helpful, and reasonably priced. I work nearby, but live an hour away. Twice I've been in a jam and they squeezed me right in, getting me taken care of and road-worthy before the end of my work day. These guys are awesome! Thanks! :)

Once again I received first class customer service and support at Motorcars Makeover. My Triumph TR250 was detailed in quite a professional manner and at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended!

First time using Motorcar Makeovers. Very impressed with the shop and the staff. All work completed on time and as promised. Sitting in the waiting room several ‘ long time’ customers were in and out. The repair advice given was fair and, in some cases, they were advised they could wait to address non critical issue. Great vibe and good people. I’ll be back.

The absolute best around. Each and every service has been a 1st class experience. They have never failed/disappointed me. Quality service. Fairly priced. Have never been overcharged or had work done the vehicle did not need. The most honest people I ever dealt with. I got my X3M40i back the way I expected... thanks MCMO... I appreciate dealing with you. Never a mystery.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about MotorCar Makeovers. I found this place by coincidence. My car broke down in June of 2024 and it had to be towed to their establishment. It was a bad alternator. They replaced the alternator and battery. The problem seemed to be fixed for a couple months. That was until the car appeared to be having the same issue and so they took the car back in once again. They again replaced the alternator and battery thinking it was a faulty alternator like a lemon. A few days after the issue occurred once more. They thought it would be odd to have two bad alternators so they continued to search for the source of the problem. This was a very unique situation. They determined it was the computer that connects to the alternator. The car is an older car with lots of miles so they tried to get me a used computer so the cost wouldn’t be so high . They even sent it to Texas for someone to program it. (Over and above!!!) We all thought it was fixed, but the warning light appeared again, so they were back to figuring out what the problem was. They never gave up. Until they found that a prong on the used computer was damaged. They were in constant communication with me. Motorcar Makeovers never gave up on the car and went over and above any facility I’ve ever been in contact with. I’m so grateful to Scott, Andrew, and the rest of the their Team. I can’t recommend them enough. They will not quit until it’s done right and they will not overcharge you for mistakes that aren’t your fault. Thanks Motorcar Makeovers team for being professional, committed, knowledgeable, caring. Meg

Scott, I want to tell you how totally happy I am working with you and your staff this week. You have not only landed a new customer but one that will recommend your business to all my friends here at Normandy Farms Estates. Andrew is a great representative for Motorcar Makeovers. He explained the problems I might encounter for my next inspection but didn't push me to do them right away as others in his position do. I will bring both my cars back to MM to have the work done. Great company Scott. Gary Blaisdell

Took a few days to reflect. This was a very difficult repair situation; water leak, difficult electronic diagnostics, corrupted computer modules, third party vendor issues. It took a month to resolve, but Scott and team persisted and were very fair in pricing. Never fun to deal with defective electronics in automobiles. I would be happy to own a 1957 Chevy Bel Air! Still a Motorcar Makeovers fan!

I had a bad experience with another employee there the year before. Scott (the owner) asked me to try getting my car inspected again and they did a great job. I waited about an hour and they did a great job. Very pleased

I have been going here for 2 years now for oil changes and inspections. Their customer service is always really great and they often get my car completed in a timely manner. They keep you updated through the process of any work and they will continue to be our family’s go to for car maintenance.

I have been going to Motorcar Makeovers for a few years. Never disappointed, and every time Scott and his team took care of my needs. Their price is reasonable and never do any repairs that are not needed. They are also very flexible and accommodating my schedules. I have moved out of the Blue Bell area since 2023 but I am still driving 40 mins one way there for my auto needs. I fully trust Scott and his team and highly recommend them for any of your auto repair needs.

Scott’s team at Motorcar Makeovers are efficient, knowledgeable, trustworthy and kind. It is easy to make a timely appointment. They don’t push services that aren’t needed. Their pricing is fair and reasonable. They provide advance notice if a maintenance item may be needed in the foreseeable future. I am total confidence in their team for the reliability and maintenance of my cars and the precious cargo I transport daily.

My family has used Motorcar Makeovers for years. We are extremely satisfied with all of their services. We can count on their mechanics giving exceptional service and their customer services are exceptional. We also bought a car from Scott and are extremely happy with it.

Appreciative that Scott Squeezed my daughter’s car in for an oil change before her long drive to Pittsburgh. But she also needed tires, and Scott and the team made time to put new tires on even though they were already fully scheduled for the day. Always a great customer experience at MM for servicing and the used car I purchased there. Been taking our vehicles to Scott and team for 20 years now! Always professional, friendly team. Thanks MM!

Motorcar makeovers is one of the best mechanical shops in Montgomery county. I’ve been using them for over 10 years. I never doubt their work their work is excellent. I know when I get my car back and I’m traveling that I know I’m safe because their work is excellent. I never doubt what what they charge me. The owner is great to deal with. He’s very obliging. He tries to work along with the customers try to get the car back as fast as he can. He understands people circumstances it’s wonderful that you could go to a mechanical shop and know that you’re in the right hand. If you want the best work, then go to the best mechanical shop, motor car makeovers.

Professional service every time!!! As always, my trip to Motorcar was as expected. Friendly service by well trained and experienced technicians! They have such a GREAT team there!! There is no doubt, after close To 25 years of using Motorcar Makeovers, I know that when I drive away, my car will be mechanically sound! What a wonderful feeling! Scott Jacobs (owner) has built himself such a “rock solid” reputation and is actually a mechanic that I/you can trust! He has a dedicated staff that go the extra mile to ensure you are safe and sound from the moment you step out their door! Put your trust in Motorcar Makeovers, they will earn your business and work hard at maintaining it!!

I absolutely love this place! They are my one-stop shop for all my repairs on my car. They are professional and very friendly and honest with you. I can trust them with my car. They are super quick too when you make a appointment. I have no problems. If I could rate this place 10 stars I would! They will always have my business here :) Thank You Motorcar Makeovers!!!

If I could leave 0 stars, I would. Auto shops seem to think it’s okay to try and scam young women. Maybe this place does nice work, but their customer service is trash. I dropped my car off late Sunday night for my appointment on Monday. On Monday, i was hoping to have my car ready, but I received no calls from the repair shop. I called twice myself… once being 20 minutes before they close. They told me that I would receive a call when they figured out what the issue was. On Tuesday, I waited for them to call. Finally, around 2:30pm they let me know what the issue was….after they had already worked on the car. They never called to discuss pricing with me at all! I was charged almost $1,000 JUST in labor… for a LOOSE WIRE! They proceeded to tell me that it took them 6 hours to find the wire and that’s why it costed so much. I went to the location personally and asked for them to lay out the pricing for me so I could understand what I’m paying for. They showed me a receipt listing the labor, but still one set price of $850. Nothing was broken down or explained to me. I was told like 100 times that it just took them 6 hours to find a loose wire and I also was paying $50 for fluid. The two men at the front (Scott and another man) told me they could take my car apart and I could bring it to another repair shop… maybe I would’ve considered that earlier if I wasn’t waiting and was informed about the cost/issues beforehand. I was NOT happy, being the confrontational person I am… so I took a video of the incident. The man working beside Scott had no issue cursing right back at me and SMACKING my phone out of my hand on to the floor! They told me to leave and the man at the desk proceeded to say that he knows where I live! I find it hard to believe that a “top notch” repair shop would take 6 hours to find a wire and charge $1000 to plug it in… but maybe I’m wrong! I’ve just never had a more outrageous experience with customer service. I wish I could share the videos on here. I added this to my review later. After driving my car down the street, the light they were supposed to repair came right back on! The engine light also came back on!!! After waiting 3 days for my appointment at another shop, my car died and I had to jumpstart it. I took my car to the Volkswagen Dealership for my appointment, and showed them the receipt of this service. They informed me that the original issue is under warranty, and they will fix it free of charge. Unfortunately, I will have to pay around $300 to fix the wiring that motorcar makeovers put together the wrong way… my car wasn’t even this bad when I originally brought it in to motorcar makeovers. I don’t know know why you think I would EVER step foot in your disgusting car shop again! (Feel free to save the footage of your employee PHYSICALLY assaulting me and damaging my property)

I can’t express how thrilled I am with Motorcar Makeovers! Right off the bat talking with Scott is a breeze. He’s super personable and you can tell he genuinely cares about your cars needs. They were in constant communication with me. There price was beyond fair for the service provided. And I can’t even begin to express how impressed I am with the interior and exterior detail. My car looks brand new. You can tell the guys who work here take pride in what they do. I will be a lifelong customer! If you need any work done on your car I would stop looking and come here. I don’t think you’ll find service and this level of detail and care anywhere!
