Great shop! Fair prices and friendly techs/employees. The first time I used them was on a whim when my coolant system dumped all over Glenwood Ave near their location. I called them pretty close to closing time, perhaps even after closing, and I was able to get someone on the phone (I believe the owner). They allowed me to tow my vehicle to their parking lot after hours, put my keys in their secure drop box, and they fixed it the very next day with good communication throughout. Recommend!

The experience with Motor City Garage was 100 % awesome. I recommend highly to give them an opportunity to repair your vehicle. There customer service is on point.


Dec 06, 2024

Very good interaction. The repair was quickly performed and relevant explanations were offered. The solution proposed was cheaper than in other places, with exactly the same desired outcome, all within required specs. After the first visit I returned with my other car. Very knowledgeable personnel.

Great work at a great price! They were able to see my car with short notice and got everything fixed. Awesome mechanic!

I'm a new customer of Motor City Garage. I have an old 2006 GMC pickup truck with 170,000+ miles on it that I bought a few years ago and I only put a few thousand miles per year on it. I did not have a reliable mechanic for my truck. I found out about Motor City Garage when they were recommended to me by Ted's Automatic Transmission (also excellent). I was having transmission problems that were defying diagnosis, and Teds' Automatic Transmission brought Motor City Garage into the process to rule out one possible cause of the transmission problems. Motor City Garage did their diagnosis and did not charge me a penny. Fast forward a few months, I was having problems with the ignition switch and I thought I might have multiple ball joints that needed replacement. Now, Motor City Garage could have changed out the ignition switch and charged me for that, and I never would have questioned it. But they researched and determined that there was a safety recall on the 2006 GMC truck for that ignition switch, and that safety recall was still in effect, and I could have the switch replaced at a GMC dealership for no charge. They also determined that I needed only 1 ball joint replaced. They performed the ball joint replacement and did the oil change also that I requested, and the price was very reasonable. The communication was excellent. I have complete confidence in these guys and really appreciated their honesty, and highly recommend them.

If you’re having car troubles, I HIGHLY recommend you bring your car here. Jonny and his team are honest hard working individuals and I can without a doubt say I’ve never been treated with more respect as a customer anywhere else. I’ve brought them my 2010 Toyota Corolla for everything, from an oil change to a rattling noise issue. They have always taken care of my car at a fair price. Thank you Jonny and shout out to you and your team!

Rick Anderson These guys are absolutely outstanding! My 2001 Ford Lightning was screwed up so I took it to the Ford Dealership in Wake Forest. They couldn't figure out what was wrong so they recommended I take it to Ted's Transmission. Ted rebuilt the transmission but the truck was still screwed up. Ted recommended Motor City Garage and told me that "if they can't fix it, nobody can." Ted was exactly right. Motor City determined the problem was the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and persisted in getting the truck fixed. It took some time to find the PCM for this Ford Lightning but Motor City was extremely patient as we tried to locate a replacement PCM. This process took months and Motor City was certain the Lightning could be fixed. These guys are craftsman! They know what they're doing! Fundamentally, electrical problems are a nightmare but Motor City knew what to do. The Ford Dealer didn't really care because the truck was over 20 years old. I can't compliment these guys enough! As an electrical engineer, I wanted to drive my Lightning! Motor City made it work! September, 2024. Rick.

Diagnosed and fixed my vehicle issue quickly. I would definitely recommend Motor City Garage


Oct 06, 2024

I had an exhaust leak from my resonator rusting out. The mechanics diagnosed this issue and replaced the resonator. I highly recommend this auto shop. The staff is kind, communication is great, and the work is excellent.

I have a 2017 Mustang that was having an issue with the clutch peddle, I called Motor City Garage and spoke to Johnny, he got me in right away, within a couple of hours they diagnosed the problem and had my car up and running in no time, ( which 3 Dealerships I took it to in the past, had no idea what the issue was )they are honest, friendly and very helpful, the customer service was top notch, I highly recommend these guys for any work you need done! I especially want to thank Johnny for all his help and going above and beyond to help me out. Thank you guys!


Sep 06, 2024

Best place to bring your car in Raleigh. Very friendly staff and so convenient it’s only 5 minutes from my house and Johnny is always taking care of you. Thx


Sep 06, 2024

Definitely did nice work replacing my engine and having everything run like it supposed to


Sep 06, 2024

Eddie, Dane and the guys at Motor City are spot on professional in every way. I was having an issue with my AC on my Jeep Grand Cherokee and was directed to them by a friend. Called the guys and immediately got Eddie on the phone, told him the problem and he said bring it in the next day. They had my Jeep in the garage and diagnosed within a few hours. Eddie sent me a digital quote so I knew what was happening before any work was done which I thought was fantastic. I agreed to the quote, they ordered the parts and had my jeep done within 48 hours. Their pricing, communication and work are beyond anything I was expecting. I will definitely send my cars to them again and recommend them to anyone needing service.


Sep 06, 2024

Great service and they don't overcharge or suggest things that aren't necessary. It was such a nice change from previous places we've gone. Friendly and reliable. I will be taking all of our cars there moving forward.


Sep 06, 2024

Had to replace the engine on my 2014 prius v. Awesome experience from getting the engine to driving out after full engine replacement. Great service, quick process & reasonable overall cost. It has been the best car mechanic experience I've had (+30yrs driving). Already gone back for regular maintenance,


Sep 06, 2024

I bought a car from a dealership that had a faulty starter, and was referred Motor City garage, they took the stress off of me and had my car fixed and ready within a day of having the car. Very friendly employees and hard working. Highly recommended.


Sep 06, 2024

I came in for a routine car inspection, and they had me in and out in under 30 minutes. No funny business, and prices were as expected. Great service!


Sep 06, 2024

Johnny is the best always get me in for appointments. The service is fast . I have nothing but positive things to say . I would recommend them for automotive services


Sep 06, 2024

Motor city replaced my headlight and did a fantastic job! I was able to get all more work done within a day with pleasant customer service. Thank you!


Sep 06, 2024

Na DEADASS the best mechanic shop in NC. Nobody gives you the runaround here and prices are always fair. Every single person is knowledgeable and seems like they enjoy their job


Sep 06, 2024

Outstanding service! Their work is second to none! They stand behind their work. It is a great operation.


Sep 06, 2024

The BEST mechanic I’ve EVER been to. They won’t overcharge for unnecessary maintenance, the complete opposite actually. They’re always trying to find ways to save us on our car maintenance and issues & have done such fast and efficient work on both our vehicles! The people are genuinely kind & are always looking out! We won’t be going anywhere else! If there’s anything you take from a Google review, TRUST THIS IS THE BEST MECHANIC IN NC.


Sep 06, 2024

They are very reasonable in cost and did a good job with the work I had done to my car. I had a small whistle and they had me come back and they repaired it immediately. Car is running great. I will be going back to them again for any future repairs. I definitely recommend them.


Aug 06, 2024

After being burned by a dealership, I was skeptical when I was referred to Motor City Garage by my brother to repair my clutch on my VW. Boy was I wrong, Motor City Garage was AMAZING. It is no wonder they have 5 star reviews. Great customer service, constant communication, honest, and reliable. Good thing I trusted my brother. My car is driving better than ever! I will only take my car to Motor City Garage from now on for my car service needs.


Aug 06, 2024

If you are looking for pros with heart then this is the place to go. Competent, super friendly service, quick and affordable. My expectations are blown out of the water. Support this small business. You won't regret it, folks!


Aug 06, 2024

Motor City Garage is awesome! My car had a vibration issue at highway speeds that a well-known "discount" tire shop could not eliminate after several attempts to balance my wheels and tires. I gave up on them and decided to try Motor City Garage. They squeezed me in to their busy schedule, verified there was nothing physically wrong with my wheels or tires, balanced them properly, and... the vibration is gone! I'm one happy customer!


Aug 06, 2024

Very quick service and knowledgeable employees. Highly recommend!


Jul 06, 2024

I can’t say enough how great my experience was with these guys. Seriously trustworthy, they do great work, and for a reasonable price.


Jun 06, 2024

I could not be more pleased with the mechanic and the work he did. They did just what they said they would do. I was treated fairly and my needs were met right away. Thanks guys. You did great work and treated me well . My Corolla is cool and comfortable again

Johnny and the team at Motor City did an awesome job with 2 cars of ours. We felt like they were honest and efficient. All is all, we feel lucky to have found them.


Jun 06, 2024

Johnny is nice, well mannered and so knowledgeable about the cars and repairs. He is a keeper! Also, at Creekside Bethpage today,heard a couple of people talking about Motor City and how much they liked the company.
