They were able to fit me in and provide me with a loaner car. As I am in the middle of a family health crisis, I really appreciated this extra effort. Motor Works staff are always friendly and customer service oriented.

If ever there was a company to love, this is it! A dear fried recommended them and Ive been in love with them ever since! Everyone is kind, caring, conscientious and always respectful. If you are not going there, you are missing a treat. To paraphrase Hamlet, I say, Get thee to Motor Works.

The Motor Works team has taken care of my Acura and Toyota since 2010. Its one of the most well-run businesses Ive ever encountered in roughly 35 years as an adult consumer of such services. Sara and Paul treat me (and any new customer who walks in the door) like a valued friend, and the service team is impeccably qualified and competent. I have complete trust in their integrity and judgment, vindicated by more than a decade of experience. I couldnt possibly recommend them more enthusiastically.

Motor Works is my car family. They have provided me with quality service and car care for over 20 years. When I moved to North Carolina several years ago, they diagnosed my car over the phone after a disastrous visit to a local dealership. They were able to find a mechanic in my new area that properly fixed the car. I moved from Maryland to Florida 18 months ago but am very happy to have the opportunity to bring my car back for servicing. From Sara and Paul at the front to the highly talented mechanics in the service area, the whole team is wonderful: thoughtful, professional and thorough. I highly recommend Motor Works!

Motor Works is the best! I stumbled upon them late 2020 and am so glad I found them for my Acura. Customer service is top-notch (go Sarah!) the technicians are knowledgeable and awesome, and as a new customer you even got a free book (which every driver, particularly new drivers, should read)!Also, I, highly recommend that you check out the nearby ‘Bean Bag’ for good coffee, better bagels, and an excellent chocolate cookie.

For months a noise from the rear half of our 2014 Toyota Highlander would come and go. We brought it to our regular highly-rated mechanic, who has served us extremely well for years. He did two lengthy test drives but it was a day the noise had taken off. He could not hear it so, not surprisingly, he did not find anything despite looking under the car for 30 minutes.I decided to look for another highly-rated mechanic, perhaps in a larger shop with more sophisticated equipment. That search led me to Motor-Works. I dont know if they actually have more sophisticated equipment than most other mechanics. But what I do know is that they have more extraordinary people in every part of their business than most other mechanics. More than most other businesses to tell you the truth.Motor-Works staff are incredibly talented and they really love what they do. The interest they take in you and your car is just astonishing. They were determined to find the noise in the Highlander. But the noise seemed to have a mind of its own and would not cooperate. It went into hiding during my first visit. So even though Motor-Works spent a couple of hours thoroughly evaluating the car and searching for the source of the noise, no luck. But they pleaded with me to bring it back anytime the noise reappeared. So that is what I did. And finally, a mechanic heard it. He determined two parts of the cars frame were supposed to be 3 or 4 inches apart from each other had become so close they sometime rubbed against each other, creating the mysterious noise.The determination of the Motor-Works staff was tremendous and way beyond what Ive experienced with most others in the 30+ years I have owned cars. And though both our regular mechanic and the Motor-Works staff spent hours trying to find and stop the noise, neither one of them charged us for their work. We are going to find our way to give them both our business going forward. I am convinced if you have Motor-Works service your car, youll never want to take it anywhere else too.

Ive been using Motor Works for at least 30 years, and they have been a first-rate organization that I would recommend unconditionally. Their customer service is excellent and they consistently go above and beyond. Their technicians are very good at diagnosing problems quickly and accurately. Ive never felt that I was overcharged or pushed to get work done that wasnt required. Also, Ive never had to bring back a vehicle a second time for work that was performed. Keep up the great work, guys!

They provide excellent service, keep track of your records, and will not try to sell you service you do not need. We’ve used them for the last 25 years and never had a reason to go back to correct something. When my tires got cupped the tire shop said I needed four new shocks. Motorworks found the car was just out of alignment and saved me $1,200 dollars. They also alerted me to a cooling system defect and extended warranty for my sister’s Civic that saved her an expensive repair and they don’t even service her car! Motorworks costs the same as a dealer shop but are far superior in workmanship, honesty, and in going the extra mile!!

I have been using Motorworks for over 10 years and cant say enough good things about Greg and his crew; they know Hondas inside out and will only recommend a service if you need it. If you want your Honda, Toyota, Acura, Lexus, or Subaru to last, take it to Motorworks!

The day of shade tree mechanics has ended. Professionalism in concert with technological expertise and a philosophy of establishing customer relations based on honesty, credibility, and reliability count mightily. That is why Motorworks has established the broadband reputation that they enjoy. There used to be an old expression in the Lunch Sandwich business dealing in Manhattan Cheap food aint good and good food aint cheap. Same principal here. Relationships matter. Believe it. Get it right the first time.....Go Motorworks. You will see the difference immediately. Regards, Horton

I really loved working with these people. It was so refreshing, as a woman, to have Sara to talk with about my car. She explained everything—what work was needed and what was not (really!)—in a great way and restored my faith in my own car.My car’s issues were solved in one day and I SO appreciated the complimentary loaner car (Bernie), the extras the team threw in for me, and the thoughtful gift they left in my car.I will definitely be back!

I have been a Motor Works customer for many years and have always been happy with the service and professionalism. But I am really impressed now. Given the current situation with the stay at home order and social distancing they were wonderful! They picked up my car from home and brought it back to my home with me never having to see anyone. Paul was terrific to deal with and so very helpful. I cant recommend them highly enough!

I have been servicing my two Hondas here for years. They offer the rare combination of trustworthiness and highly skilled mechanics. I have implicit trust for their recommendations and repair work. To date, they have guided my 2006 Pilot though 250,000+ happy miles. In addition to the craftsmanship, the front office team of Paul, Sara and Brad brings a personal touch to the business. Would highly recommend.

As always, great and honest service. I had a dead battery because I left the interior light on. The AAA person who gave me a jump to start my car said I needed a new battery. Motor Works charged my current (no pun intended) battery, gave me an oil change, and checked some other minor items (e.g., wiper blades) and the charge was 1/2 what it would have cost me for a new battery from AAA.

Motor Works has been doing top quality work on my familys Honda and Toyota vehicles, for over 20 years. I just started taking my Subaru WRX to Motor Works for service, as they recently added Subaru to their list of vehicle specialties and mine is just out of warranty. I know that I can always trust the crew at Motor Works to go above and beyond, to make sure that any mechanical work is done correctly, explained in detail, and finished within their estimated time frame. Its always nice to have the sort of peace of mind that the team at Motor Works consistently delivers. Thank you!

Called about getting my key fob checked and some new wiper blades and they said just drop by. Which I did. Service was prompt, friendly and reasonably priced.

Motor Works Inc. Is a phenomenal shop. Their service is second to none. They completed my vehicle in a thorough and very timely manner. The family atmosphere of the shop is great. When I picked up my vehicle I met the owner, his staff, and the technician that performed the work on my vehicle. Their attention to detail and invitation to their shop will make me a customer for as long as I own my vehicle. I will definitely recommend this repair shop to anyone who drives a Honda or an Acura. Thanks for such an easy repair and look forward to doing business in the future.

I have experienced that the service on my 2002 Honda Civic has always been excellent and the costs reasonable. Motor Works is quick with a diagnosis and offered me reasonable options for solutions. My Civic has been running beautifully under their care for 18 years. The CoviD-19 era service of picking up my car at my home is a major convenience and more importantly a relief of health concerns.

Motorworks is an honest garage that only performs the work required AND has extremely talented and knowledgeable mechanics.They arent the least expensive, but are also not the most expensive. After checking three other garages for the same work I had them perform recently, I found motorworks to be within $75 of the least expensive garage. Since I found them to be very honest about the mechanical condition of my car, I view the money spent as an investment toward a professional relationship that I feel comfortable trusting over time.I have already shared my positive experience with some family members. I simply could not be any more pleased with my choice to patronize their business.I will likely select my future automobiles based on the makes of vehicles they service. I cannot imagine going anywhere else. Highly recommend.

4 stars for repairs/friendliness, minus one for bad cleaning.MotorWorks staff was very polite and friendly. They did a great job of repairing my broken window (It has been smashed in). However, when I received my car I didn’t really inspect it that closely, but when driving home I noticed there was still a big piece of glass in the cup holder. If they missed this big piece I figured I should look a little harder, and found a few shards on the back carpet. I went to vacuum what I thought were maybe like 4 small shards from the back carpet, but when I lifted the carpet and looked under my driver seat it was practically untouched with a ton of glass under there. Clearly the car wasn’t cleaned very well after repairs. I feel like the dealership does a better job of cleaning the cars and even washes the outside (which also wasn’t done here).

I have been using Motor Works exclusively to service my cars since 1985! They have always provided fantastic customer service, and are extremely trustworthy. They will repair/fix whats needed, and will put a watch on something that can last longer before replacement. They have maintained all my cars (on my 3rd one now) and theyve all operated great and reliably. My first car made it to 200+K miles before a major accident took it out of commission. The second made it to over 315K before I donated it to Purple Heart (and got $500 tax credit!) and my 3rd car is over 200K and going strong. That shows reliable service! I can count on them to do the job right at a great value.One example of superior customer service: Late on a Thursday after Id gotten out of work in DC the car unexpectedly lost power as I accelerated on 495. I called Motor Works from the shoulder. Someone answered and arranged to give me a loaner car when I dropped my car off at Motor Works that evening. I had the loaner for the weekend and to drive to work Monday. By Monday evening my car was fixed and I picked it up after work. Where else would you get that kind of service - nowhere but Motor Works!They also treat me and my wife like family. We actually look forward to bringing my car in for scheduled servicing!When you find the best you stick with them. Thats what Ive done with Motor Works.

I have been going to MotorWorks for close to 20 years. They kept my beloved Acura Integra running happily until she reached the grand old age of 25 years. Now my Honda CRV is getting the same highly skilled treatment and is on track to last just as long. As a non-mechanical person, I appreciate the full explanations of my options. I never feel pressurized into taking the most expensive option as I am provided with the pros and cons of each. The best thing I get is the peace of mind of knowing my vehicle is safe and working efficiently based on dealing with an extremely ethical organization. Highly and unreservedly recommended.
