Recurring themes include clear explanations of necessary work and a lack of unnecessary upselling.

Metric auto works personnel were very helpful. They provided me with a loaner car to use until my car was repaired. They also provided prompt communications on what the problem was, replacement part options, recommendations for repairs, and timely service. I highly recommend them.

I do not recommend this place. My first experience with Metric was good a few years ago, but then things went down hill there.

I've brought my truck to Metric Auto a few times. I initially did it out of convivence because my practice is next door and I've heard great things about them. I have to say they've been wonderful to work with every time. I've had my alignment adjusted, oil change, my horn fuse burnt out, a nail in my tire...…

I have been a customer of Metric for four years. I’m the father of three teenage drivers and have a basketball team of wrecked vehicles to show for it. I’m a big believer in buying used vehicles of trusted makes and maintaining them well. I’m grateful to Metric for all the service they’ve provided over the years. They always call and consulted me if they see something that needs fixing. They routinely pre-clear work before performing a repair without upselling me. It’s freeing to have a trusted team to support my personal fleet who is willing to squeeze me in on those rare, unanticipated instances of urgent maintenance. I do not routinely engage with social media and can count the number of reviews I’ve written on two hands. My good opinion is earned, not given, so know that my fervent adoration of Metric is not the capricious impulse of an influencer, but the time tested experience of a grateful customer.

I do not recommend this place. My first experience with Metric was good a few years ago, but then things went down hill there.
I had my car in for maintenance this summer and it took them 9 days to complete it. Then they broke a part and I had to bring it in 2 more times to get it fixed. They even tried to charge me for a part that they broke. I've been told that Auto Edge in Woodbury is much better suited for our cars. We'll be using them from now on.
