I've been to pretty much every shop in town and these are the ones to go too. Their price for the quality is unmatched. Whatever you ask them to do they will do and won't do anything else without asking you first. So many shops like to tack on repairs and make unnecessary suggestions and these guys don't. They've earned my continued support!

I recently moved to the area and needed to find a new mechanic. When I stumbled into this place, I…read morefound friendly and competent service. The first time I went I had a flat tire and they fixed it quickly and I was on my way. Since then they have done vehicle inspections, oil, changes, and minor repairs. They charge affordable rates. A lot more affordable than a dealership! We are lucky to have such a skilled automotive mechanic in our little town.

I've been going to Monarch since 2019 they've serviced all four of my vehicles now in the history…read morewe have owned them. They charge more than any of the other surrounding shops cause they claim to do quality good work, which they always have done. However, recently, I brought my car into them on short notice for them to get my sunroof closed. They may have achieved that, but they left my car in somehow a worse state than it was already. They left greasy oily fingerprints and markings all over the headliner. It was bad enough I had to pay someone to get out. They only had my car for 5 to 10 minutes tops. I used to really enjoy going to them, but this whole interaction has rubbed me the wrong way and I won't be coming back after that. They didn't have any respect for my car which was an immaculate shape. Like cmon guys you gotta wash your hands before you going touching other peoples cars :| not cool...

It has taken them 2 months to fix the things that were messed up from the break in. 2 long months. And guess what? It still isn't completed. 2. They will drive your car all over town when it is finally road ready to finish getting parts, lunch, dinner, who knows what else. My car was full of gas- as I had just filled it up the morning of the break in-- and it when we picked it up, it was on Empty. 3. They still had not taken the window to be put in while they were running it all over town. Seriously it took less than 30 minutes for them to replace this window at the glass shop considering it had been ordered and sitting on a shelf rack for these two months. 4. It is overheating, making noises and basically running like crap. And let us not forget about the missing radiator cap that we found out was gone. (and the missing knobs for the radio) 5. I went to put some groceries in the trunk this afternoon and realized my full size spare tire was gone. Trust me, it was a full size tire and rim that I had been complaining about being in the way the morning of the break in so I know it was there when it got towed. So what, it just walked off??! I am still waiting on them to finish the work and cannot even get the car smogged until they fix the final part they are waiting on. Yeah, so when I go purchase the new tags, I have to get a smog extension (which who knows how much that will cost) while my car overheats and makes noises while they are content in knowing that they already cashed the check from the insurance. They might have been a good company back in the early days, but now that shop has been run into the ground.
