My family has been coming here for over 20 years, and in all that time, we've never trusted anyone else with our cars or our peace of mind. I still remember being stranded in Southern California because my Volvo XC70 broke down. I called the local dealership and got a quote that I wasn't sure about. I reached out to Ali, and his depth of knowledge was staggering. He confirmed the pricing and was even able to accurately break down the labor and parts costs. He also gave me a few questions to ask just to be safe. That kind of reassurance, from hundreds of miles away, was priceless. Now that I drive a Lexus, Montclair Auto Tech is still the only place I'll take it for service or repairs. Their honesty, skill, and consistency are unmatched. I'm deeply grateful for this shop. They have my highest recommendation.

I recommend this repair and smog station to everyone because I have been so pleased. Its actually a bit of trek from where I live but worth it for the confidence I have in the work and pricing.

Fast! Catalytic converter stolen Saturday to Sunday overnight. Called Monday morning. Shop received…read moremy 2009 Prius Monday afternoon. Finished the work by 1pm Tuesday. Most of the shop was recently stolen CAT victims. Janice at the desk was very patient, clear, and generally pleasant over the phone walking me through next steps when I called Monday. She was more than happy to work with Geico on the claim. You just gotta call when your tow truck is loading up the car so they can make room in the shop in time to receive your vehicle. At the end, I paid my deductible out of pocket with Zelle. They have a QR code. I left with my signed, one page customer copy of the repairs and payment documentation. They quoted me $350 for this added rebar welding service as a theft deterrent. This is a separate charge from your insurance claim. A very welcoming younger man named Vincent (?) lifted up the car and walked me through the undercarriage work and the theory behind the rebar. He was honest and said nothing is a complete solution, but that in the years they have performed this service, only a handful of customer have come back with attempted theft incidents. However, in those cases, the thief only made the cuts and couldn't pull the converter out. So repairs are cheaper in the long run because it's a welding repair, not a full converter replacement. If you go through insurance that is also good news, because he said with tariffs and the war, prices are going up and it's increasingly likely your insurance will deem your car totaled just for the stolen CAT based on their rising repair costs compared to your older car's current value.

Heavy EV wears down tires quickly especially when wheels are not aligned.

Very patient communication team through the Yelp app. Explaining that alignment, rotations, and flats were covered under the purchase which is similar to discount tires, but from a local independent shop, it was nicer to work with. Glad to have discovered them through Yelp. Would definitely recommend. No hassle, clear and accountable communication. Fair pricing.
