Monaghan's Auto Repair

Nov 12, 2024

We called on Sunday and described to them that our vehicle was broken into and the ignition was busted. They said they could fix it and to bring it in asap. We were from out of town and It was fixed in a few hours which we were so grateful for. We would definitely recommend.

We moved to Vegas from Texas in June 2024. Our car broke down on the road with over heating problem. The temperature was 110F in Vegas. We had AAA tow the car to Monaghan. Jose of Monaghan was very helpful and took our car right in. He is very professional. He replaced the radiator bypass hoses and made sure the engine was not damaged. The whole process took about 2 hours. The price was very reasonable. He did an excellent job, and my Mazda has been running well since. Thank you, Jose. I highly recommend Monaghan for your auto repair in Vegas. Steve

Called because car wouldn’t pass smog. Took them less than an hour to figure out I needed O2 sensors and purge valve replaced. Scheduled to come back the next week and took less than 3 hours even with people ahead of me. They called and told me they can pass for smog so saved me an additional trip. Prices were reasonable and everyone I dealt with professional. Will recommend this shop for quick efficient service and continue to come here.

Great mechanics with a very nice attitude! If you need Diesel mechanics, they are the best in town.

I told them what was wrong with my car, but they dismissed me and came up with a different diagnosis that was not possible to be the issue. Their reasoning did not make sense and couldn't explain the symptoms! I wound up paying hundreds of dollars for absolutely no reason. The Next mechanic I went to diagnosed the issue in a few minutes and fixed it the correct way! Furthermore, when I got my car back, I found several loose hoses and the air intake wasn't fully seated! I'm glad I checked because it could have led to a big problem. There are many mechanics in Las Vegas, pick a different one, it's not worth it!

went in for a diagnostic which thankfully ended being nothing major. customer service was good , very helpful , seems very reliable and trustworthy. will be going back for any future car services.

Don't believe the hype! On 7/30/24 I took my Kia here for a couple of lights and to repair or replace the windshield washer reservoir. Was told the reservoir needed to be replaced and the part would need to be ordered from the dealership. Well, the dealership "sent the wrong part". They fixed the lights and I brought my Kia back today (8/8/24) to finish the repair. When I came to pick up the vehicle I was told the part was $67.33 more than they had expected. Well I paid last week in advance and no one called to say there was any change in the price. I was told "well it was only $67 more... I mean if it was like $500 more I could see we should have called you". Yeah that's not how you do business and I will NOT be returning to this shop ever again!

Honestly I don't believe this shop even deserves one star, the only reason they are getting A star is because the owner refunded the cost of the valve body we paid for in advance. Once they received the monies one of the employees stated the part was ordered from the dealership and that it would take a week. A week went by and the employee said the dealership sent the wrong part and that the correct part had been ordered. Mind you WE had to call and find out, they did not call us. So the part came in, then the owner told us that part of the transmission needed to be replaced and they were working on it. Two weeks went by and no call for an update, so WE call and they tell us the whole transmission needs to be replaced. Ok, we give them the go ahead and replace the transmission. Mind you, we brought the truck in May 28th. They had our truck for a month. I call the owner again for an update and he said that he was sent a bad transmission, that the truck only goes backwards not forward, then he said they couldn't get the bolts off, then they got the bolts off but had to order them. The owner gave us so many stories, lies, back and forth. He had our truck for almost 3 months. I had been so patient with him until the end. We went and picked up the truck, Un repaired, in worse condition than when we brought it in. It sounds like the muffler is about to fall out, theres an exhaust leak now. And on top of it, they stole the GPS and a HUSKY bag with tools in it, they rummaged through the glove box and left all their garbage in the bed of the truck.

I had an issue where the check engine light came on while traveling through Vegas with my family. The mechanics at Monaghan's recommended a full replacement of the spark plugs and coils for a misfire on cylinder 2. We got the coils and spark plugs replaced and at the end the check engine light was still on for a misfire on cylinder 2. Paraphrasing the conversation: (Note that the owner of Monaghan's did not exactly state that the car was safe to drive but gave a strong impression that it was safe to drive) Owner of Monaghan's: I wish I was able to tell you that everything had been cleared up but we're still seeing a misfire code on cylinder 2 after changing the spark plugs and the coils. We've been driving it a while but it hasn't gone away. It may clear up on it's own or it may be some damage on the cylinder or the engine. Me: Is it safe to drive to back to Utah? Owner of Monaghan's: Well if there's damage on the engine, you'll won't do any more damage by driving it back. You'll have to get it looked at by your mechanic to make the check engine light go away entirely. Have your mechanic give me a call so we aren't doing double work. Me: So it's safe to drive back and the car won't give out on me on the way back? Owner of Monaghan's: Well, it will get you back no matter what. It might be a little less fuel efficient but again you won't damage the engine any more than it already is. Based on the above conversation, I left with the impression that it was safe to drive and started back home. The engine overheated and stalled on us while heading back on the highway at 80 mph. Thankfully, we weren't in an accident and were able to pull over to the side of the road. I called the owner shortly afterwards and he basically stated, "I'm glad you're safe and not in an accident. Have your mechanic give me a call. There's nothing that I can do." He didn't ask under what circumstances the engine had stalled or give any suggestions on what the issue might be. He didn't offer any advice for the overheated engine (several of our mechanic friends suggested blowing the hot air on full to help cool the engine). So for $982.54, I got my coils and spark plugs replaced, I was told to send my car to another mechanic to solve the problem that we took it in for originally and I was left with a stalled car on the side of the highway hundreds of miles from home after narrowly avoiding an accident. I left an initial negative review that I temporarily took down to figure out what was the real cause of the stalled engine on the side of the road. At that time, he decided to respond with another phone call complaining about how hard it was to start and grow his business and did not give the impression that he cared about me or my family and denied ever stating that the car was safe to drive. In fact, this time around he said that he only stated that it was safe to drive to another mechanic. If he believed the issue to be that bad, he should have said something about taking it to another autoshop in Vegas to actually solve the problem and warned us not to drive home. The fact of the matter is that we took the car to Monaghan's to get the check engine light concern taken care of or at least to a safe enough state to drive back home. I currently have an appointment with another mechanic scheduled for August 12th and will update this post with more information once I know what the actual failure cause was.

As a local in Las Vegas with many vehicles over the years I have been to so many mechanic businesses and home mechanics. I am so thankful to have found Monaghan’s auto. I had an auto emergency and they were the only shop that answered the phone on a Saturday morning and were open on Sunday!! Everyone was so friendly and understood my situation. They fixed my car promptly and efficiently, I needed both control arms replaced, my AC fixed (it’s so hot in Las Vegas) and an oil changed. They did the work and had my car ready to go the next morning! My AC is super cold my car is not making the same loud noise and drives so smoothly now. When I called the phone was answered and all of my questions and concerns heard. It’s so hard when your car doesn’t work and you have emergencies popping up left and right. I have a young daughter that I drive around so my car being in tip top shape is so important. I truly appreciate the care in which they handled me and my vehicle. Thank you Monaghan Auto for servicing my vehicle.

My mother and myself have used Monahan's before and have always had an excellent experience. Last week I had to bring my mother's car for a serpentine belt replacement and an A/C problem. We were met by Jose. I can't say enough good things about Jose. He was patient, kind and professional. Monahan's is an honest mechanic shop and can be trusted and Jose is an incredible asset to this shop.

I don't know why I fell for these guys I paid over $1,000 to get my brakes changed and upgrade my shocks I told them that I was driving to Kingman Arizona to pick up my mom who uses an oversized electric chair to get around I had a ramp hooked up to my tow hitch for it I told them I need to upgrade my shocks to make sure they can handle it they said yeah no problem I gave them the front brakes which were ceramic so I asked them to change the back brakes also and Order ceramic brakes for the back so they charge me over $1,000 the back ceramic brake pads and all four shocks and labor I finally got my truck back drove that night to Kingman Arizona loaded up my Mom's chair she had two bags and there was only four of us in the vehicle halfway between Kingman Arizona and Las Vegas the shocks blew out and ever since then I have been bottoming out on my truck before they change them I could load my truck with eight people a bunch of suitcases and the big U-Haul tow trailer filled to the top and I would never bought them out now if I have five people in my car and nothing else and I hit a bump I bottom out come to find out instead of upgrading my shocks they downgraded gave me cheap shocks and cheap brake pads the front brake pads do not create any dust because they are ceramic that I bought and gave to them the back brake pads that they bought create so much dust on my rims they are a rip off the white guy I don't know if he's the owner or the manager but he will sound so nice but do not trust him

Great service when I was in a bind. Vehicle was acting up on way to work. Found Monaghan's in map search. Called and they got me in right away. It was a simple fix, done quickly, but they were also thorough in checking every other option, as well. I can see why they are busy. Highly recommended!

Apr 17, 2024

The staff here is very friendly. I had many services done this visit, and they had it all complete by the following day. Prices are reasonable. I will definitely go back here for repairs.

Apr 17, 2024

These guys are the best! They were so kind and quick to help me. They saved the day on a Sunday afternoon so my kids and I could get back home to Utah, and we are so grateful! So glad these guys were the ones who showed up in my google maps search.

DO NOT TAKE YOU CLASSIC CAR HERE!!! I had my car in for an intake manifold and they did a very sloppy and poor job…. I had to give them the car back 3 times because it wasn’t running properly after they serviced it. They seem like they have no idea how to work on classics and my car has never run right since they touched it!

Feb 17, 2024

James replaced my water pump and completed an oil change, communication was great. I would recommend Monaghans if you are in the Las Vegas area.

Feb 17, 2024

Quick, reasonable and knowledgeable service.

Feb 17, 2024

We highly recommend this auto shop! Life saver! We needed a new starter so we googled this place contacted them to explain We needed this done same day as we needed to get back to California. Chad started the truck at 1:00pm had us on the road by 4:00. Like I said LIFESAVER! Thank you Chad and all Monaghans employees you guys are amazing!

Beware There Not diesel specialists. I went out of my way taking my ram 6.7 for a cp3 fuel pump replacement, 3 months later the cp3 came loose while driving. Then they blame me saying i tried to intentionally remove it. There also too incompetent to do a proper diagnosis. Checking codes and taking a guess for 300 is a scam. They recommended 2000 to repair none exisent problems. DONT take your truck to this shop. Just go to the dealership.

Jan 17, 2024

These guys are pros!!! If my car isn't running perfect it stresses me out, didn't know what was wrong. Took it to Monaghan's and they checked everything front to back. They were thorough, fast and fair. I've found my go to mechanic.

Dec 17, 2023

DO NOT COME HERE. THEY WILL RUIN YOUR VEHICLE. JUST READ THE OTHER BAD REVIEWS! THEY PAY FOR THEIR POSITIVE REVIEWS!!

Dec 17, 2023

Great service James really helpful totally would recommend

Dec 17, 2023

How the hell does this company have 4. Something stars ? They’re either bots or paid for because this company will not only ruin your vehicle , they’ll keep your vehicle hostage for months and will cost you in the 1000s to fix all their mistakes . Look at the bbb , this company should be sued

My gf and I brought her car in to have the brakes checked due to them making a loud grinding noise. We didn't have an appointment, but Monaghan's was able to squeeze us in. Mechanic discovered one brake pad had been worn completely down and the rotors were not good anymore. He replaced both front brake pads and rotors for an extremely reasonable price. Ended up having to bring the car back a few days later bc the brakes were making a grinding sound again. He ended up warrantying out and replacing the front brakes&rotors again and also replacing the back brake pads free of charge. Really happy with the quality of service we received at Monaghan's. Staff is always friendly, service is great, and they don't try to nickel and dime you. We will only come to Monaghan's when our cars are in need of a mechanic.

Dec 17, 2023

They told me my car would be fixed within 3-4 days. Its been 45 days and I'm hoping this review gets their attention, because they've been lying to me with non-stop excuses.

Dec 17, 2023

Very professional, great service. I went for a battery change. I didn’t have an appointment but they took care of it in minutes. Highly recommend them.

Nov 17, 2023

If I ever need any mechanic work on my car I always bring it here. They’re very attentive and make sure my car is good to go! I highly recommend to all!

Nov 17, 2023

My first time was fast and great. My second time was fast and better. This mechanic’s are great and have great price’s. It’s hard to find a good mechanic and has affordable price’s. I recommend them to my friends and co-workers.

Nov 17, 2023

Never returned my call...

Nov 17, 2023

The smoothest experience I have had with any mechanic. Our technicians James and Chad were professional and immensely helpful. In an emergency they were able to diagnose our vehicle, and do everything in their power to get us back on the road as soon as possible. Not only did they facilitate our mechanical needs, but we're also more than hospitable. I can't recommend them enough.

Nov 17, 2023

Truck was in the shop for a week, didn’t touch it because they were “too busy”. 90% they’re the reason it’s still broken from past work done on it. Do not come here they’re a bunch of idiots who don’t know what they’re doing. You’d be better off giving you vehicle to a middle school band, instead of these jackoffs.

Nov 17, 2023

Very good service when everything else was closed and had emergency belt issues

Nov 17, 2023

We were basically stuck in Vegas, and these people performed a miracle and got us back on the road.

Nov 17, 2023

What more can I say about this shop? The manager was very helpful and open about services and cost. Was very thorough and even caught a few things the last shop missed. He was very accommodating and even realized that the fixing was going to be a while, so he gave a pass to spend the time at a local swap meet. He knew I was not from LV, so he even called me to inform that if the plan was to stay another day or not as certain parts were not readily available. But he pulled through and found what he needed to get me home that night. I definitely recommend this shop. Oh, and he's even open on Sundays!
