Garland Auto Repair

Spotless shop. Comprehensively knowledgeable and helpful. Flexible scheduling and reasonable pricing.

Very friendly and great service!!!

Mr. Machado found the problem, apprised me of the cost before doing the work, and finished the job on time. He is now my “go to” auto mechanic.

We took our car in thinking something big was wrong, turned out it was something very simple. Rich could have easily taken advantage of us & we would have never known, but this is something you never have to worry about when taking your car to him. Not the first time we have been here & definitely will not be the last.

Best place for good work and customer service. I totally trust Machado's for attention to my vehicle!!

Thanks

They were kind, thorough and professional. He explained in detail what our car needed and charged us a fair price. The shop has a comfortable waiting room, the entire facility is so clean and inviting. We'll be back again for any and all of our car needs. I felt very well taken care of and I especially appreciated that he didn't try to up sell me on things I didn't need. Awesome place!

He was very polite & helpful & very detail as in what will happen & how long will it take for my car to be ready! I'm glad I went 2 his shop because even though he told me I needed a appointment he told me 2 come anyways & he will take care of my car even when I call him @ the last minute! He did a great job & when it was time 2 pick up my car he explained everything he did. All I can say is Rich thank you for your HELP I'm very grateful for what I did for my car & being an honest man!

Rich is a very , very honest and profesional Technician , He is the oposite to the dishonest mechanic guys that I have been dealing with, only very few in the US like him !

Professional work without compromise. The AC went out on my 2007 Honda Odyssey van. They were able to work me in without an appointment then call me with the diagnosis and plan of repair later in the day. The AC compressor clutch had gone out. They will not repair the clutch alone one a car with my mileage (140,000) since it is likely that the compressor led to the failure and would probably have to be changed after the clutch was changed and run. They will not replace a compressor without also changing out several other parts that might have gotten damaged from the failing compressor, eg condenser (my van has a front and rear condenser for rear AC). The estimate was $2400. Just about what the van is worth wholesale. They could have just replaced the compressor (comes with clutch) and risked another part failure which would bring me back for another repair, over and over. Instead explained the entire situation to me and charged me nothing. Ordered the compressor on Amazon (about half the cost of what the auto parts places wanted for it) and getting a shade tree mechanic to replace it for me. Total cost about $400. I hope it lasts a while.
