Metro Motors was fantastic! They fixed my baby Lavender after what I thought was just surface damage but was much much more. Took a bit longer than anticipated due to getting the parts they needed but she is good as new! Also fixed the gear shift knob which has been a problem for a few years. And came back cleaner than when I dropped her off! I hope I don't need to go back, but they will be my go-to mechanic!

I had a great experience at Metro Motor. My car had a significant hum, and I thought my brakes were bad. Dontaye was recommended to me by a friend. Dontaye made an appointment for me that worked out for both of us. He had his mechanic look at my car as soon as I got there. I was given the bad news about what needed repair. It took a few hours because of the parts that needed to be delivered, but it was completed the same day. I felt Dontaye was fair with the price I was quoted, and he stuck with that price. He didn't give me any surprise charges. I have already scheduled an oil change for my other car. It feels good to have a mechanic who isn't trying to rip me off. Thank you Dontaye and the whole crew of friendly mechanics.

Thank you, Sharon! A referral from a friend is the best kind of first visit, and we're glad Dontaye lived up to it, getting you in quickly, being straight with you about what was needed, and holding to the quote with no surprise charges. That's exactly how it should be. We appreciate you already booking your other car in, and we'll be ready! Thank you for trusting Dontaye and the Metro Motor crew.

We really do love teachers, Jennifer, so we're thrilled you felt that! Being a convenient one-stop spot for your oil changes and anything else that comes up, right down the street, is exactly what we want to be for you. Thank you for the wonderful recommendation, and for all you do in the classroom!

It is very rare to find people like that! Muchísimas gracias Anthony for helping the Sailor get back on the road! 🙏🏽💪🏼
