Why Choose McCabe’s Automotive?

4.5+ star average rating on Google 

“I don’t always take the time to review businesses, but I had such a great experience I have to share! To preface this, I have had many negative experiences in the past with auto shops – this is the FIRST time I have been met with kindness and complete honesty. I brought my car in for an oil change as well as general diagnostic (not the best at keeping up with maintenance). I knew there were things that needed to be taken care of but wasn’t in a position to do it all at the time. I had an emergency while my car was being worked on and the owner offered to drive me to take care of it – I couldn’t even believe the customer service and heart of the owner and employees. When my oil change was done I was provided with a thorough breakdown of what needed to be repaired at some point. No pressure to commit, no judgement, just honest information. I can’t express enough how much I recommend this shop. Thank you for being kind and understanding, you have gained a lifetime customer.”
