Customer Reviews
This is a long-overdue review — sadly, life has gotten in the way of my writing it. But today, I decided to put to “pen” what deserves to be written. A number of years ago, I took my car to a chain car mechanic. I had bought new tires from an online vendor and needed them put on the car. They did that and all seemed fine. However, a few days later, I encountered a severe vibration. I had just moved to the area from out-of-state. I was on the highway and noticed this vibration in the car. It became progressively worse with increasing time, to the point that when I accelerated or braked, it was reduced but going at a constant 50-60 mph, it was scary. Looking at some of the reviews of parents whose sons and daughters attended a nearby college, I decided to see McCarthy’s. Kevin and the wom
I went to the shop a couple weeks ago because my car was making a loud thumping noise. I pulled into the shop and they took me right away and they test drove my car. He said my lug nuts on my wheel were loose and my tiers could have fallen off. He fixed my car right on the spot and I couldn't have been more grateful for him. I am a college student and he was so nice to help me out. These are some of the kindest people I have ever met, I will definitely be going back. And I recommend everyone should go here. Thank you so much McCarthy's!!!
The owner Kevin was very helpful, very friendly and was able to take care of all of our issues on my son‘s car. The prices were very fair as well. I would recommend this Auto Repair Shop to family and friends. Brian and Matthew
I called to see if Kevin could help me out with my daughters car that had some issues. And since she is a college student and I was over an hour away, he said to have it towed here and I'll take a look.. So we did, he went through the vehicle, found some problems and gave good options and good advice. Also a fair and honest price , which is rare these days. I highly recommend him for any auto service. Thanks again.
So yesterday I hit an ice dam and took out the front and back flanges of the exhaust system. Ordinarily this would involve replacing the whole system including the expensive catalytic converter , as these components have factory welded flanges that connect them together. Most shops would have gone this route. However, Kevin, knowing I didn't want to put a lot of money into an old car, and seeing that the system itself was solid, recommended simply welding new flanges on the two units. THAT was a no-brainer for me. $145.35 and one day later the car runs quiet, like it never even happened! I've been a salesman for over 40 years and am pretty keen at sizing up individuals and right from the get go I could tell the guy was solid. He did not disappoint. GO TO KEVIN.
