My partner and I found this business by word of mouth when we were looking for replacement tires…read more There is nothing fancy about the location off Main on Cherry (they will move to a new location this year), in fact Mantz is very easy to miss, sort of down hill and hidden to the right. There isn't a check in, you just have to get the attention of the working guys and let them know what you need. It's better to go before noon, because they get very busy after that. But they are happy to find out what you need and get you right into the line, especially if you have a leak or a puncture. They'll let you know if they can repair ($20 2026) or put a used tire on your rim (about $40 2026 - I have a small car) and if they do not have your tires in stock they will order them for you and let you know the price points upfront. They obviously don't have time for long conversations, and they really get to what you need or your options right away. Mantz is opened M-F and Saturday. Check the times, go early if you can. Bring something to read or a game on your phone. There are chairs in the unused bay to wait. They're quick, depending on what your car needs, but prepare to wait in the queue after 2pm. I'm going there from now on to get my tires rotated too. They are a literal hidden gem. The best of the best in Sylva. Sorry other guys.

Dealt with them for over 2 months to still not have my vehicle fixed. Half the time I went by the shop during regular business hours they had the shop closed. Go to Hillmans Family Automotive or Professional Brakes and Tire instead. You will regret going to MP Motorsports.

After receiving a high quote from a dealership for a necessary car repair, I sought out this shop…read morefor a second quote and to do business locally. However, I ended up getting jerked around and ignored. I took the car in and the intended repair was not needed according to them. The parts had been ordered and I was told they would be held just in case the problem came back - which it did. Took the car back and they confirmed the initial diagnosis but now they didn't want to do the repair after having given me a quote for the job and retaining the parts. First, I was told it would take weeks before they could get to it - and, then they took it upon themselves to get a quote for the job at a different shop - one I was not familiar with. I told them I would like them to do the work because I trusted them. Then they decided they would have to re-price the parts and re-evaluate the quote! They would get back to me for an appointment. Didn't happen. Because of this ill treatment, I would never recommend them to a future victim. Good news is - I took the car out of town, got the repair done at a cost less than what he had quoted. So much for shopping locally with small business owners!!

I was passing through this small town when my Jeep Wrangler's sway bar link broke after hitting a…read morepothole. Of course, it happened on a Thursday night when everything was closed, and I was seriously worried about getting back on the road in time. First thing Friday, I drove up to Empire Automotive, explained what happened, and they jumped right on it. The mechanic checked it out, explained the issue clearly, got the parts quickly, and had me back on the road in no time. It's rare to find a shop this responsive, especially last-minute, and with such great service. If you need any mechanical work done--whether you're local or just passing through--I couldn't recommend Empire Automotive more.

Since they are a BMW qualified service center I asked if they could do my Mini. I had the rear break pads replaced and they took care of a bad motor mount. I'm pleased with their work and would recommend Empire Automotive for your late model (2017-on) Mini.

Tommy Sumner is egotistic enough to think he is above the law. It's true that he destroyed my…read moreToyota because he wanted that particular model truck. He got away with it at the time because I had no proof except for a loose oil pan bolt and a blown engine. I knew deep down that he intentionally sabotaged my truck and later had it proven by one of his previous emplyees, an eyewitness. He felt so safe in his actions that it was obvious he had done this before. I lost my truck and the money I paid for the "repair" from his shop. Use this business at your own risk.

I stopped at a Supercenter in Sylva last week, couldn't get the work done and the "staff" was rude and insulting. High Country has my business now and for the future. You should do the same.
