Consumer Comments for Monte & Sons Auto Repair

Rick and Pete (the owners) are knowledgeable and well versed in what it takes to keep a car going a long time. The shop is small and feels homey, with a real community of people sitting around the waiting area while their cars are worked on. Great vibe.

Lovely people. Highly knowledgeable about cars and do excellent work. If you have a car that you want to keep for many years you can absolutely do this with them. Good diagnosticians and do very good repair work. Really nice people as well.

My go to repair shop since 1980. Consistent high quality work at reasonable prices. The owners, the entire crew are as honest as the day is long. They take the time to explain what's wrong, the options, and the costs. Monte and Son's has been able to repair problems that the dealer has actually been unable to even diagnose accurately. For specialty work that Monte and Son's can't perform like transmission problems, they have resources that meet Monte and Son's high quality standards.
