Don't use Affordable Auto Repair in Gaylord!!! June 2025: I…read morebrought my truck in for a tune-up because it was running rough. They replaced the spark plugs, but during that process they damaged the valve covers. About 10 months later, the damage led to an oil leak. I had my trusted mechanic downstate look at it, and he told me the valve covers had clearly been damaged during that original service and recommended I request a refund. April 2026: I returned to the shop and showed the owner, Diana, the faulty parts. At that time, she acknowledged the issue and said she believed we deserved some money back for the mistake. May 2026: When we followed up, we spoke with Pat (the owner), and the conversation went completely differently. Pat immediately became confrontational and started yelling, saying he "don't give refund checks." Instead, he expected us to drive the truck 250 miles--while it's leaking oil--so he could fix the problem he created himself. The attitude and lack of professionalism were honestly shocking. Mistakes can happen, but how a business handles them matters. Between the poor workmanship and the way we were treated afterward, I would not recommend this shop.

Even though they didn't have the part in stock (supply chain issues - not on them) I was still able to get the vehicle back well under the original 2-week estimate for getting it into the shop. All along they kept me informed and updated on the work. I am extremely pleased with this place.

I have purchased vehicles off…read moreFacebook marketplace and other dealerships, and those experiences were 10x better compared to the experience I had at Matt Lafontaine Automotive. When I was first looking to purchase a car, I contacted this dealership and I was stuck with an uneducated and non-communicative salesman named Shane Grove, who was incredibly useless. Do not go to Shane, he does not have people or customer service skills. Once I told Shane that I would be financing the vehicle through my credit union he was helping me less and less when it came to looking for a vehicle. I had to demand I get a new salesman due to being treated so poorly (especially after spending 26k on a car). Also, when I went to pick up the car I was told how the title was not in for the vehicle and no one at the dealership even bothered to keep me informed I was having to messaged and call them constantly just to get an update on my title because I am currently driving around with the dealerships plate instead of my own. This dealership sullied my car buying experience and I will never go back nor will I be recommending people to shop here. -10/10 car buying experience.

Twice, they've inspected cars and brought them up to appropriate condition for me to make cross-country road trips. They repair what needs fixing, they advise what will soon or eventually need fixing and what makes sense to do all in one go (e.g., to avoid double-spending by doing a group of repairs that all require the same first ten labor steps, if one such repair needs doing right now and the others are soon to follow). By default they use quality parts and supplies, and their shop rate is entirely reasonable especially for the high quality of work. I'm a car geek, and I am very picky and particular about the work done on my cars and the parts and materials used. That can be a real pain in the (lug)nuts for shop and customer alike, but Mark, the service writer, does a terrific and friendly job of keeping everyone happy on both sides of the counter: he gets the parts and supplies I want, or lets me supply them if they're difficult to find, or on the occasion there's some reason I'm not aware of that my choice isn't a good one, he explains and suggests alternatives. As the diagnosis and repair proceeds, he keeps me well informed and promptly asks me whenever there's a decision that needs my input. And he keeps the techs happy by keeping the picky customer (me) out of their hair so they can get the work done. Rod, the owner, is personable and friendly. There is an air of competence about the shop that comes, I think, from the fact that the whole staff work hard and thoughtfully to do each part of every job carefully, correctly, and efficiently. I appreciate that. Also, they'll work on practically anything that has an engine, as long as it can be brought to the shop. Cars (new and old, common and and unusual), trucks (big and little), boats, I've even seen 'em get ailing roto-tillers back into action. Highly recommended.
