If you know cars, avoid Matt's Motor Works. I booked him for walnut blasting, confirmed days in…read moreadvance, and only at the last minute did he tell me he was a mobile mechanic. Walnut blasting isn't something you do mobile --nor is it recommended for outdoor use near homes or neighbors due to the difficulty of containing the airborne dust and debris. He showed up unprepared, hoping I'd settle for a chemical intake cleaner instead. He burned 30+ minutes talking about car trivia, pulled a spark plug with the battery still connected and the engine hot (a rookie mistake that risks real damage), and then tried running an OBD2 scan with a dead reader. None of this addressed the service I asked for--only to buy time, which he then charged me $65 for, based on what he thought was right. Transparency wasn't there from start to finish. In the end, I rearranged my schedule, got no real work done, and paid for wasted time. From preparation to honesty to execution--everything fell short. To make matters worse, my trusted mechanic later confirmed the spark plug threads were stripped from his work.

would strongly caution anyone considering this business...They were very friendly over the phone…read moreand initially seemed helpful in person, but the experience quickly went downhill. The "diagnosis" amounted to briefly checking and SMELLING the gas cap, yet we were charged $150 for that alone. Afterward, we were told we owed an additional $75 that had not been clearly discussed upfront. When we questioned the extra charge, we were told the balance could be sent to collections, which felt unnecessarily aggressive given the situation. The biggest issue was the lack of transparency around pricing and what services were actually being performed. If you do choose to work with them, I highly recommend getting a detailed quote in writing before agreeing to anything. Overall, this was a frustrating experience that left us feeling taken advantage of during an already stressful time. So disappointing. EDIT: Sent threats and called me names after leaving this review... Screenshots attached. Saw his reply To this post, we sent $75 before you came and $75 after you showed up. That would be $150. Then, sent you the other $75 today after you decided to cuss out my boyfriend and threatened him multiple times. Not sure where the hostility towards us came from, but I do hope this review helps others save their time, energy and money from dealing with someone like yourself.

We come all the way from Kenosha to Don's Garage. They are the most ethical and fair priced garage…read morethat we gave found. Another garage close to home said I needed a $300 repair, we took it to Dons, they looked at it and the repair was literally a 30 second fix - no additional parts. They didn't even charge us because we are regulars. They are great guys and the only guys we trust with our cars.

I would like to note that we are an elderly couple who chose this garage based on recommendations…read morefrom local residents. We brought in our only vehicle because an emissions-related warning light was preventing us from renewing the registration. Our vehicle remained at the shop for an extended period while parts were being ordered, some of which were reportedly backordered. After the parts were installed, the warning light remained on and the original issue was not resolved. At that point, we were advised to take the vehicle to the dealership. We spent a couple thousand dollars on emissions-related repairs based on the garage's recommendations, yet the problem remains unresolved. As retirees on a limited income, we cannot afford additional costly repairs. We were not offered any refund, partial reimbursement, or clear explanation of what the actual problem might be or how it could be fixed. While we understand that some repairs can be difficult to diagnose, our experience left us feeling that we paid a significant amount of money without receiving a solution to the issue that brought us in. We encourage others to use caution and ask detailed questions before authorizing major repairs.
