Matt driver 675 came out for a triple,AAA call and did a fantastic job. Explained what was wrong with my battery and plus I love P &M. That is where I take my vehicles. They're a great crew and a great business.
Matt was on time and very knowledgeable. He jumped my battery and even gave air to my tires when I originally just needed my van to turn on. He noticed my tires were low in air and he was very right. He made the whole process easy. Great service and highly recommend!

Called AAA to get a jump start for my car. Matt (675) from P&M Automotive was at my location within 15-20 minutes from when I called. Matt was very professional and once the vehicle was started ran a couple of test to make sure the battery, alternator, and other systems were working correctly. I would highly recommend P&M Automotive for roadside service.
We need our car towed and Billy P, our tow guy, was able to jump and bring our car back. He was really nice and friendly. Gave us some tips and advice for to do if our car dies again. He was a total bro. Thanks!

Today was my first time calling AAA and I had no idea what to expect, but when he arrived to jump my car Javier was very helpful and friendly. He was able to run a diagnostic and replace my battery in no time. I’ll definitely call again if anything else comes up with my car! Thanks again Javier!
Quick and very friendly.
Vehicle was in an accident a few last week. driver side door was the only side with a lock (impacted side). Car battery died and I couldn’t use the key to manually open the door. Thankfully Javier Mota came out and was able to unlock the door and jump the car within minutes.
Had some trouble this afternoon with my battery & had the pleasure of having Javier. He was quick with figuring out it was just a new battery that was needed, which was a relief that it wasn’t my starter or alternator (hallelujah). Again, appreciate the quick & great service!
Javier JUST finished getting me on my way to work. Replaced my battery; had it replaced by AAA in dec'22, and have had it jumped at least twice before. Didn't have the paperwork immediately on hand.
