Sal has been my go-to repairman since 2003. He has always been ongoing trustworthy, honest, professional, knowledgeable, sincere, and a good friend who provides excellent service. He once found me a car to purchase when mine was a loss for repairs The car he found me turned out to be an excellent deal. Another time, I left my RV on his lot for months when I could not yet afford the repairs and he never complained to me about it until his insurance company gave him grief over it. He has helped me when I didn't have enough money for repairs and also when I did have the money for repairs. I trust him explicitly! Lewis and the other members of his staff are equally nice and knowledgeable. I could even sell my car to one of them if I wanted to. This is a relationship that has lasted decades and will continue to do so. I highly recommend McCarthy Automotive! 5 STARS ALWAYS!

I needed my brakes worked on, and didn't have much time. I dropped the car off, and it was ready in about 3 hours. He replaced my brakes and rotors for less than I expected. Sal was polite, no upselling, overall just did his job and returned my car quickly. Great job Sal!
View on GoogleI've been going to McCarthy for nearly seven years. If I had to describe their top three characteristics, it's as follows: 1. Trustworthy. The proprietor, Sal, has never tried to inflate what needs to be done or upsell me on additional services. They have always stated what they feel is required, even when I have asked them about work that other mechanics have suggested; if they don't think it's needed, they won't suggest it. 2. Utilitarian. They do what you need and nothing more; no bells and whistles. I had to change my fuel line. They used an off-brand gas cap because it was half the price and equally effective. 3. ON TIME. This is truly a rare thing. When they say something will be ready, 90% of the time it is. If you're looking for a trustworthy, no-frills mechanic who delivers what they promise, this is the place.
View on GoogleI'm so glad I found McCarthy! My car was becoming slow in starting and I knew it was the starter. My husband and I already had it diagnosed and knew it wasn't the alternator or battery as it was brand new. The dealership and even AAA Car Care Center (yes I'm an AAA member) wanted to charge $600 to replace it, while other shops I reached out to wanted me to bring the car in to diagnose it although I already stated it was diagnosed already... I reached out to Sal on a Saturday, he responded in less than an hour and was able to schedule my appointment for that Monday. He was very honest, professional, prompt, and upfront about price/costs, which was a third of what I was being quoted by everyone else. He replaced the starter within an hour. He's definitely in my digital Rolodex and I highly recommend him. He truly saved us time and money. Thank you SAL!!
View on GoogleI've been taking my car to McCarthy for several years. They're always there for me. They take care of my car on short notice, when necessary. They have fair prices and they do good work. I would definitely recommend them and I've moved 25 mules away, but still bring my car to them.
