Today is 02/20/23. I took my car up here to get some electrical things done, speaker wiring, oil leaks, door handle replaced, fog lights, and my IACV was making my car rev up and down like someone was pressing on the accelerator and letting off. The owner (Matt) had an extremely rude and disrespectful look on his face that he did not want ANYTHING to do with my car or me. As I explained what needed to be done, he asked no questions and literally stared down and did not communicate with me at all. This guy did NOT want my business and it showed. He also tried talking me into getting a whole new IACV for my car, which would have costed hundreds of dollars. I told him "no, the IACV just needed to be cleaned because gunk gets on the gasket, which prevents the idling problems." It is a known issue in the car that I drive.
He then continued with this disgusting look on his face that I was not welcomed at all in his business. The best way I can describe this guy's attitude was "how dare you walk into my shop and ask to work on a car." Yes, that seems far fetched, but this was EXACTLY his demeanor. He did not want anything to do with the repairs I needed, which was some tasks on a car made in the 90's.
The owner was extremely disrespectful, rude, showed absolutely no signs of customer service, hospitality, or friendlessness towards me. I also asked kindly if he could park my car in his garage at night because my car is rare and since it's a car made in the 90's, it's extremely easy to steal. He didn't even answer me and I, ABSOLUTELY UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE want my car outside. This car HAS to be garage kept because (like I said before), it's extremely easy to steal and it has a ton of modifications done to it. It's a head turner and I receive compliments on it all the time (no I am not making that up). It's a beautiful car that I just bought on 10/01/22.I had it shipped from Texas because it's THAT rare of a car.
I have NEVER seen such a disrespectful mechanic in my entire life (yes, this is literally true). He wanted NOTHING to do with me or my business, which he would have made well over $1700 or close to $2,000 on the things that I wanted to get done.
Maybe others of you reading this have had better service (everyone is different), but I am writing what happened to me.
I decided when I was in his office that I did not want my car up there, so I got home, called another mechanical shop, told them what happened and the owner was like "wow, I cannot believe he treated you in such a manner."
As I was riding up there to get my car, I called them (Matt's Garage), and informed them that I did not want my car up there and was on the way to pick it up. They asked why, and I just told them I wanted to do my business elsewhere. The guy on the other end of the phone kept asking and asking why I wanted my car not at their shop. I told him that "I just want my car." He then kept badgering me to the point that I had to hang up on him. Yes, this actually happened.
When I arrived at the shop, Matt (the owner) actually followed me to my car where I had to tell him to "leave me alone" in a calm manner. I got so annoyed that I finally told him that he was extremely rude and he ACTUALLY acted shocked! I could not believe it because he knew he was being rude to me in the first place the second I walked into his establishment. He said "rude?" as I opened my door, shut it, and rode away extremely happy.
I am NEVER going to this place again and I will tell everyone I know about "Matt's Precision Garage" and what inspired today (02/20/23). I am also going to copy this review that I'm writing right now just in case it disappears from Google reviews. I will check back from time to time to make sure my review is still up and if it isn't, I will go back into my notes on my phone or computer and paste it again and again if I have to. This place is NOT going to delete my review or anything else that they can do to cover it up. Yes, my experience was THAT bad and I want people to see this if they're checking where to take their vehicles. read more
