Poor job fixing AC on my MDX. Replaced expensive parts which they charged over 2K. Brought car home AC still not working. Brought car back. They made a simple repair which fixed the issue. Would not admit the expensive parts and labor were not needed. I had been using them for the past 5 years and trusted them. Had no problem until this last visit. Very disappointed and don't plan to return.

A 25 year relationship with 4 family cars - this business is so superlative, so above the rest of the gang, it's hard to single out any one quality. They demonstrate superb professionalism in all aspects of the relationship - not only do they make you feel part of the family, they confirm it. And no - I am not really a family member! Just a very happy customer.

We have been using Motor Works for about 6 years now and find they do excellent work. The staff is great, friendly, and always offer good advice. We get loaner cars when needed. They have kept our old Accord up and running.
