What Our Customers Say About Our Auto Repair Shop
“I recommend these guys to anyone that needs to get their car repaired. They are knowledgeable and helpful and are willing to work with you. I came in with a check engine light and a need to keep my car on the road. They understood that need and worked within my budget to keep me going. Thank you, McCabe’s Automotive!“

“Pre Purchase Inspections
I found a vehicle that I was interested in buying and decide to have a pre purchase inspection done. I googled automotive shops near the car lot that do a pre purchase inspection. I came across McCabe’s, gave them a call and spoke with CJ. She gave me all the info I needed quoted me the price set up my appointment. She called me after the inspection and gave me the report and emailed it to me. This was hands down the best interaction I have ever had with and auto repair shop.
I highly recommend McCabe’s.”
– Shawna S.
“This was my 4th time to McCabe’s Auto for scheduled services on our 2 SUVs. This was a major service, 60k miles. The team at McCabe’s quoted the exact services that the full price OEM dealer prescribes, used genuine Porsche parts and did a fantastic job! Much less expensive than the dealer, completed the work on-time and the PEOPLE at McCabe’s make such a difference. Polite, friendly, a family atmosphere. The shop has ASE certified mechanics. I highly recommend trying McCabe’s for your next service or repair.”
