I have had the pleasure of using your services for close to 20 years now. I have NEVER been disappointed. People ask me why I don't look at other types of vehicles when I'm ready to buy. My answer is always the same -- Motor Works - I do not want to lose them. They sell more Hondas than the Honda dealers do. I will continue to buy Hondas as long as Motor Works is in business. What a great combination- great car, great service.

The one thing I really like about your establishment is that you follow-up with your customers and keep them informed about issues/updates. This is a great service, I am not sure about the cost simply because I don't know the average cost associated with this type of service.

Thank you,

Your staff explained the diagnosis in a manner that was understandable which allowed me to make a comfortable decision authorizing repairs. Guesswork was eliminated and replaced with a "peace of mind."

This was my first experience with Motor Works. I loved it! I have already recommended you to friends who have Hondas and Acuras. I will use Motor Works for all of my car needs. Keep up the extremely high level of service.

I'm absolutely thrilled with my brand new really old Honda!! It finally runs like it should...I'd love to drive it back to all those mechanics who rolled their eyes towards the Heavens telling me I didn't know what I was talking about when I said it was running rough......They simply advised me to junk it because it was old and beyond repair. Dave and Keith obviously put a lot of time into the details of the devil. There were so many major repairs which needed to occur I forgot to tell them about the minor stuff like my blinding windshield wiper arms which were in desperate need of recoating. But guess what? They spotted it and recoated the arms for which I will be very grateful this summer when the sun finally shines. There were so many other seemingly small malfunctioning parts which either needed replacing or repair that were attended to (without my enumerating them) and I really appreciated that! They obviously went over the car with a fine toothed comb like I had requested. I know my car very well...I've had it since it was a baby...now it's an old lady but acting like a teenager again. Even though I spent A-L-O-T of money.... Hondas are worth it when you can find the right technicians to work on them. I received excellent customer service from Dave who stayed on top of coordinating all the details. He kept me apprised of the work in progress. Your shop is neat, organized and computerized which will hopefully make it easy to keep track of my servicing calendar in the future. So all in all, I would have to say that in regards to both customer service and the soundness of the car...I received excellent customer care and my car told is behaving like she went to the health spa in Arizona for a week....total rejuvenation. Thanks for asking....

Dear Dave,

    I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for your assistance with my 1996 Acura Integra. Even 250 miles away, Motor works, is still providing good customer service … by the way, your quote for the cost of the clutch work was right on the money. And the car is now running as beautifully as it did after its last visit to Motor Works in December.

Thanks again.

Sincerely,

Cheryl L . Berthoud, DVM

Dear Greg, Dave & Mike,

Kathy and I simply wanted to thank you for repairing our vehicle tire on Thursday past. As we joked about, the tire demon put the stinky on one of my brand new Motor Works tires – regardless, you guys, demonstrating your typical good nature & commitment to customers, not only fixed it, but fixed it twice, w/both a patch & plug & for FREE! You are all scholars and gentlemen.

 

Thank you much,

 

Kathy & Michael Zahra

Good Morning!! Thank you for the update. I have recently moved to the state of Georgia and will no longer be using your services. I got ride of the 1993 Honda after your inspection. Thank you for what you did – I believe it saved my life!!

     I would first like to thank you and your co-workers for allowing me to keep my 1988 Honda Accord on the road for the last 16 years. It’s first visit was September 19, 1988, barely 2 months after I had purchased the car.

 

     You have always been decent and honest in the repairs that the car needed…”

See you then,

Thanks for your letter Greg.  Motor Works service is the BEST!  The reason we have not returned for service is that we (and the car) currently reside overseas.  Maybe you can program our file so that a reminder for service can be sent out about two years from now (that's when we expect to return).  I'm sure you'll still be around (maybe the $5 off offer will be too!). 

Thanks again,

S. Schmidt

Thank all of you at Motorworks for taking such good care of me and my car.

Hi Greg-

I just wanted to let you know that I've sold my '96 Acura Integra. Thanks for all the years of taking care of my Honda and my Acura Integra! I really trust and appreciate the honesty and reliability that I experienced at Motor Works.

Unfortunately, since my dad has moved away, no one in our family owns a Honda or an Acura anymore! You can be sure if we do buy one in the future, we'll come back to Motor Works for our service.

Thanks again,

R.Filler

After the eleven years of assiduous care they provided for my Civic wagon, Motor Works' people are one of the chief reasons why I bought another Honda. In fact, when a co-worker bought the Civic wagon in question, they had wisely set aside $300 for repairs they thought they would need to pass state registration requirements. Thanks to the care Motor Works provided, they incurred $0 in additional costs. On a recent repair, they allowed me to go on the shop floor and to examine with them the vehicle on the lift. In doing so, they pointed out several areas of potential concern and permitted me to watch them make some of the repairs. How many other mechanics would allow that kind of scrutiny?

I thought your listeners and their website were too good to be true! Unbelievably, they are unbelievable! Who ever heard of a carshop that takes care of their employees with a four day workweek for everyone? Their shop looks like Neiman Marcus. They look you in the eye, they made my life easier, and they were awesome! AND a loaner when scheduled in advance, gratis!!! Too amazing. They win my business for sure!

I was floored by your kind and competent service- and am grateful to cartalk

for leading me your way. I have placed my review in their file for other

seekers who are lucky enough to find you. You have my business for as long as

my Honda and I are buddies- thanks to you and your associates!

To Whom it may Concern:

I brought my Honda to your facility today to fix a very rough idle that Herson's Honda was unable to fix a year ago.  I am very satisfied with your service; you completely fixed the problem, my car runs more smoothly than it has in years.  And this was with the air conditioning on full blast.  You have found yourself a new customer!!  Thank you very much especially to Tommy and Mike who were very helpful and I will be sure to recommend Motor Works to family and friends.  

Sincerely,

"I took my 92 Acura Legend to Motor Works with a vibration problem that 2 dealers and 3 other independent Honda/Acura shops could not diagnose or repair. Motor Works found the problem right off ( a broken rear transmission mount). It is interesting to note that I had asked the previous shops to check the mounts as it is a known problem with these cars and was told they were OK. To me the most important thing for my car is "fixed right the first time". Motor Works gets my vote and business."

Car Talk Website: http://cartalk.cars.com/Tools/mechanics-browse.pl


"They have been very honest and thorough. Do it right the first time. It's a rare shop that will do proper diagnostic procedures and tell you if it ain't broke don't fix it. Highly recommended. Labor rate is high end of market but still worth it IMO. ps they are Honda/Acura shop."

"Our family has been using this garage for 15+ years (back when they did VW's, and now for my Honda). Always honest, always explain things so I can understand, and never push for repairs that aren't necessary. I've never felt that they've taken advantage of me because I'm female"
