His prices are very reasonable and the car is always ready when they say it will be. He only suggests what needs to be fixed if it really needs it. He doesn't try to upsell what you don't need. Being a woman, it's hard to find a mechanic you can trust. Joseph is a family man who understands honesty. He is an upstanding mechanic and trustworthy man.

While I was away at breakfast, they performed a thorough inspection and discovered some rodent damage in my heater box. I am so glad they caught it! Service Technician Pat walked me to the vehicle and showed me proof of the infestation. They were able so sanitize the entire unit including the ducts and replace the cabin air filter right then and there. It's a huge relief knowing the air in my vehicle is clean and safe again. Professional, proactive and honest service. I'm very happy with the work and highly recommend them to anyone in Auburn looking for a shop that actually pays attention to details!

After reading the reviews of Ray and team, I knew I would feel comfortable going to these guys and be supporting a local, family owned business. Well, it turns out they have exceeded my expectations and are just really wonderful people. The car runs great now, and Ray is meticulous about getting the really tricky things done, and charging beyond fair rates for his time and expertise. Even being shorthanded at this time like everyone else, they run on time and go above and beyond. I'm pretty picky about the companies I use and have had some unpleasant experiences with folks in the auto industry here and there. I would highly recommend Meritage to anyone, and being walking distance to them from my studio is even better!

The owner clearly knows foreign cars -- my 2015 Jaguar was in excellent hands. I recommended this place to everyone. Unfortunately, the repeat visit was the opposite. The owner wasn't there, and we dealt only with employees. The car was kept for weeks, forcing me to rent a vehicle because I was never told to expect such a delay. The jaguar mechanic only worked several days/week. Several routine maintenance items we requested weren't completed (and while we weren't charged, they simply weren't done). When we picked up the car, the door alarm mechanisms no longer worked and new parts had to be ordered. One of the original reasons for the visit was a window mechanisms issue. The car needs to go back. The level of service, communication, and attention to detail was nowhere near what we experienced when working directly with the owner. It was a night‑and‑day difference. Five star to one star.

I finally took it to Zach at Applegate Garage and he was able to immediately diagnose the problem, provide me with a realistic quote and render services ahead of schedule. Pricing was more than fair and my 4Runner is flawless now. From cracked heads to a new supercharger install and everything in between the guys at Applegate Garage have taken amazing care of me. Joy and Brian always greet me politely when I call and are super attentive to my needs. My 4Runner is not your average 4Runner. It is a complete, one off build that is purpose built for rock crawling on the worlds most difficult trails but also refined enough to be driven daily on the streets. I wouldn't trust it with anyone else! Thanks again to everyone at the shop for taking such good care of me. Having you guys in my corner gives me confidence out on the trail!
