I've been taking my car to Master Mechanic for a few years now, and I have always found them to be honest, easy to talk to, and genuinely acting in my best interest. I don't know a lot about cars except that I need one for a commute, but the staff here are excellent and explain things so that I understand them and can make the best decisions for my car.
I'm writing this review today specifically because I had a really amazing experience yesterday - I'd brought my car in to get the brakes checked and it turned into an all-day thing because the rotors needed to be replaced. Without getting into detail that might have other people asking for the special treatment I got, they made sure I got home so that I could finish up my workday, and REALLY went out of their way to do so.
Car stuff's always going to be expensive - I'm not sure I'd trust cut-rate brake service, anyway - but their pricing is always reasonable and well-explained, and I have never gone away feeling like they've done something I didn't need or that I'd paid for something silly. This is a great local shop with excellent staff.
