Morales Auto Repair at a glance

Reviews highlight efficient handling of issues ranging from oil changes to engine repairs, with staff often staying late to finish work.

This place is awesome. Solid dudes, kept it real with me, gave me a solid quote, kept me updated constantly, and stayed late at night to finish fixing the clutch on my jeep. Took me a couple weeks to fit into their schedule since they’re more of a local place, but it’s worth waiting. Best shop I’ve ever been to. It…

I hardly ever write reviews but these guys are amazing! I’m no stranger to auto repair shops and this is by far the best shop I’ve been to. They’re upfront about all pricing and got my truck in and out quick! Jeff even reached out about 2 months after to make sure everything was still running smooth. HIGHLY recommend this shop

I honestly can't recommend Jeff and the team at Morales Auto enough. We had a cracked flex plate on our 2018 Ford. We had taken it elsewhere and were told our "best case" was at least $10,000 but they suggested just taking it as a loss?? Well 2 weeks before Christmas that was not what we wanted to hear. Found…

Took me a couple weeks to fit into their schedule since they’re more of a local place, but it’s worth waiting. Best shop I’ve ever been to. It makes me sad that I’m moving to Alaska and won’t have the security of knowing I have a place like this when I need it.

Update: Roel, the owner, gave me a call and made it right. This is why I brought it to them, I trust them to make it right. Took my truck in to have it inspected for an oil leak. I went here because I knew the owner and his family and thought they were trust worthy. Truck turned out fine was just a bad oil filter, I figured while they had it just go ahead and do an oil change. Fast forward 1 year (i dont drive a ton) and its time for me to change my oil, there is no oil cap. I didnt notice it all this time and thats on me, but they left it off and that's on them. I called to see if they would be willing to complete an oil change and inspect it the salesman or whatever you call him was beating around the bush saying he doesnt know what I want even though I told him. Finally we determine we need to schedule an oil change (obviously) and he states im require to pay for the oil change. The bare minimum they couldn't even do. He wouldn't even admit that not having an oil cap could damage the engine.

We had taken it elsewhere and were told our "best case" was at least $10,000 but they suggested just taking it as a loss?? Well 2 weeks before Christmas that was not what we wanted to hear. Found Morales and took it in for a second opinion and man am I glad we did. Jeff was open, honest, and kept in near constant contact with me for updates throughout. Not only were they able to fix our car but for FAR FAR less than we were quoted! I HIGHLY recommend Jeff and the team at Morales. They will be the only place our family uses going forward ( however, lets hope that's not very often)

I am so impressed with Roel and his business! I drive 80 miles round trip to have my vehicle serviced at Morales Auto Repair. I trust him to provide excellent service at a very fair price -- he just saved me an incredible amount of money on my 2007 Honda Odyssey's valve adjustment. Thank you, Roel, for your kindness, honesty and incredible mechanical service. I would be amiss if I didn't mention his front desk service man. Jeff, thank you, too, for being as wonderful as you are.

This is the ideal of American service. Honest, up-front, fair, efficient, effective service. I honestly feel like I’m in a bygone era, where taking care of the customer and creating loyalty comes first rather than sneaking in cost and unnecessary services. Value and values meet at Morales Auto. A place where you can go that knows your name, and you know who’s working on your vehicle. I will always give Morales Auto my business and you should too.
