In August 2026, I had an oil/filter change and Smog check on my car at Freeport Automotive…read more Freeport Automotive does not perform Smog checks, but there's a business behind them that does, and Freeport Auto takes it over there and gets the Smog checks done. Everything was fine. About 10 days later, I had a bunch of error codes/messages flashing across my dashboard. So I called Dion and explained what was happening. He said to bring it in whenever I could, and he would take a look at it. I returned to Freeport Auto that afternoon and Dion was able to quickly identify and resolve the issue. He said it's possible that one of my sparks was going out, which caused the "Check Engine" code to flash. Dion said that error code more than likely triggered the other 5-6 error codes to flash. Dion was able to clear all the codes. His recommendation was for me to get a tune-up within 5 or 6 months. He said that even though I have very low mileage on my car, he recommended getting the tune-up. The spark plugs will be replaced at that time and I should not encounter that issue anymore. Such a relief! Thanks so much, Dion! I appreciate your calm demeanor and for quickly diagnosing and resolving my car issue and putting me at ease!

I brought my 23 Subaru Forester to these guys for rear brake job and oil change…read more A few days AFTER, no leaks from oil change, no smell of burnt oil no leaks on my driveway so that went well!! Brake job so far is doing well. No noise, no brake pedal vibrations. Parts were OEM pads and rotors. I brought it here because they had good pricing! And obviously quality work too! Dropped off my vehicle and work was done sooner than originally quoted which is a good thing! I paid for what was quoted with no hassles or any sales pitches which I appreciate! The gentleman who greeted me when I first came in right when they opened was pleasant and actually looked like he wanted to be there very easy to talk to and straight to the point. I know where to go now for other car related issues.

On April 21, 2025, I took my car to Auto Stop because it was leaking oil. I had been using them for…read moreoil changes and had always been happy with that service, so I trusted them with this repair. They diagnosed the source of the oil leak, and because I have an extended warranty, I went through the warranty process and authorized the repair. Their labor rates exceeded what my warranty would cover, so I paid the difference out of pocket. Unfortunately, this is where my experience went downhill. After the repair, my car continued leaking oil for more than a year. I brought it back multiple times, and each visit resulted in another attempt to fix the problem, usually by adding more gaskets. It became clear that they were taking shortcuts rather than properly diagnosing and repairing the issue. At one point, I discovered they had even stuffed rags around the oil pan. After several unsuccessful repair attempts, Auto Stop finally admitted they could not fix the problem. To make matters worse, during the course of their repeated repair attempts, they damaged the upper oil pan. Their only recommendation at that point was to take the vehicle to the dealership. That's exactly what I had to do. The dealership corrected the original oil leak and repaired the additional damage caused during Auto Stop's failed repair attempts, leaving me to pay for work that could have been avoided. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Auto Stop. What should have been a straightforward repair turned into more than a year of frustration, repeated trips back to the shop, additional damage to my vehicle, and significant extra expense.

In my experience, Matt Carson has been as upfront and trustworthy as an auto mechanic can be. For…read moreme, he's been "the man" that way for well over a decade and that, along with him knowing his trade and being very good at what he does, is why. Today when I brought my vehicle to Carson Auto to address what looked to me to be a warranty-covered issue was no exception; I was in and out in not much over an hour with said warranty being honored on Matt's initiative. As I said in so many words on this platform eight years ago, I'd highly recommend Matt and his expert services that he backs up/stands behind to anyone who wants a real pro working on his or her ride.
