MD Automotive - Truck on lift - Auto Repair Near Me - Paso Robles, California

See all

Took my old-ish car (2010) for an oil change and checkup. During the service, it was discovered that the serpentine belt was wearing out, which wasn't much of a surprise (again, old-ish car). When I got the news, I braced myself for the price, but was pleasantly surprised that the belt was just a couple hundred bucks! He had it fixed up within about an hour and I was ready to go. Thank you for the great experience and I will definitely be returning for future service! read more

Called yesterday about some funny noises in my 2012 Honda Accord. Asked me to come in today at 9am. Figured out pretty quickly I needed a new Power Steering Pump. Told me it might be later today or tomorrow, which I was ok with. 2hrs later I got a call from Derek, the new owner that my car was done. I was shocked and very pleased. Derek was so helpful and is a great person to deal with customers. The service on my car was so quick and I am back on the road already. Thank you, MD Automotive. You are the BEST! Customer for life. read more

AWESOME LOCAL SHOP with GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE! Gerrett is a super fast and efficient mechanic and Derek was super helpful getting me an appointment day of when other shops quoted me a week out?! I was also impressed with the cleanliness of the shop over all and I will 100 percent be back! Thanks for the help guys! read more

MD Automotive - I think this is the best place in Paso to get your vehicle smogged. - Auto Repair Near Me - Paso Robles, California

This owner honest and terrific, rebuilt our older chevy truck engine and transmission at least15 years ago. It still runs beautiful.

Our truck's battery stopped charging after gassing up in Paso Robles on our pre-Christmas trip between Oregon and San Diego. We were able to get a new alternator from NAPA and MD Automotive was able to get us in immediately to do the replacement while we waited. Unfortunately, the failing alternator took out the onboard computer and there was a 45 day wait for replacements from the factory. These guys let us leave our truck with them as we rented a car to continue our journey. We were able to pick up our truck in February and it works better than ever. They are life savers. My husband and I highly recommend MD Automotive. read more

Two very kind & professional gentlemen helped me & my husband when we were having car trouble en route from SoCal to the Bay Area. They were fast & competent in diagnosing the problem & helping us to get back on the road. Excellent shop, highly recommend! read more

Got me in same day, good pricing, communicative. Thanks for taking care of me and my car! read more

Took our Toyota Rad 4 to Derek with an battery warning light. He replaced the alternator and the car is running fine... good job!

Our break light went out while we were doing a road trip from Santa Cruz to Los Angeles. We pulled over at a gas station and I tried to fix the light, but the outer piece would NOT come off and I was afraid of breaking it. We drove around looking for an auto shop and happened to come across this place. We pulled in and asked the, I assume, boss if he could change our break light for us. He got one of his mechanics do to it right there on the spot! They didn't have the correct bulb so they ordered it and got it sent over within 5 min. We asked how much we owed them and he said nothing. THAT is excellent, honest, and just outright extraordinary service. We were so blown away that we had to tip the guy. It's too bad that I don't live nearby, or else I would be giving this place my business. I'm always looking to support businesses that care more about the customer than the money! read more

M D Automotive, thank you! Once again, you all have done it! Fred (The Ford Focus) needed a few things fixed and replaced and now he's on the road better than ever. Great customer service and timely work, never disappointed with your guys work. Derek Crawford, thanks for being so patient and helpful. read more

I had taken my Trooper in a few years ago for a diagnostic. While they do explain stuff real well, the charge was ridiculous. $175 for the diagnostic and $75 for a set of 6 spark plug wires, which didn't even help. Needless to say, I sold that car. My Mom has also been here and her experience wasn't very good either. Try FRANK's AUTO REPAIR in town. read more

If I could give Craig and his guys 10 stars, I would. This is the best auto shop in SLO County. Craig is very straightforward, honest, beyond knowledgeable, and has never overcharged me a single penny. He fixes it right, the first time, every time. I discovered Craig's shop years ago when I needed a smog. That was it. I have never had anyone else even LOOK at my vehicles since then. I've called him with the stupidest crap several times, and he patiently explains and tells me to come to the shop. Like right now. He drops everything to throw a code reader on my car, or test drive it to make sure everything is normal. Or like today.... My alternator goes out yesterday. I get a jump and call Craig. This man is booked, solid. I mean to the gills and beyond. Know what he says to me? "Bring it in, 9am tomorrow. I'll fit it in." I show up, 9am on the dot. He has 4 customers ahead of me already. Racks full. I'm marvelling at the fact he told me to bring the car down at all. "It won't be done until sometime after lunch" Craig says rather apologetically... Did he forget he's doing me a huge favor? Pfffttt... "Just give me a call Craig. You're the best!" Then he says something that I thought about for a good while.... "Don't tell anybody, you'll ruin my reputation!" Definitely a joke cuz, c'mon, this man is the best. So.... I'm telling EVERYBODY Craig!!! Craig is your mechanic. Every time. Don't think about it. Call this man. read more

my first experience here.Did a smog at a reasonable price. Gave me a ride also.Craig and crew were professional and courteous.Ill be backkkkkkkkk. read more

Took my vehicle to MD Automotive for a smog check and a bit of maintenance. Everyone there was very courteous and professional. Most importantly the work was very well done at a reasonable cost. We are a multi-vehicle household and all our cars will be taken there from now on. read more

These guys are the best. They are always super helpful and honest. They are the only shop that I would take my cars to. We are relatively new to the area and are very happy to have found this shop. read more

These guys are so reliable! I've brought in my Nissan several times over the past few years, and the staff is always patient and kind to me in explaining what's up with my car. Fair prices and quick, lasting work. Love this place! read more

Craig the owner is a real standup guy and is a very trustworthy mechanic. Highly recommend MD Automotive

As a woman terrified of mechanics (" errr, I'm sorry ma'am but your vehicle has a broken turbo light-speed thruster, and it will cost you tens of thousands of dollars to repair) I was delighted with this experience! I went for a smog check, but will continue to use MD Automotive for any other car needs that arise! read more

I discovered MD Automotive about a year ago, I have been back twice for oil changes. I keep going back because they are so nice and very timely. I took my van in today for a smog check. The technician noticed that one of my breaks lights was out and took the time to replace the bulb for me, and did not charge me for it. I will definitely be going back there and I will be telling all of my friends! read more

Craig and his mechanics are so helpful and awesome! Had to get my brake pads and rotors replaced on my Jeep, he was super informative and explained the whole process to me to make sure I understood why they were doing the work. Definitely my go to mechanic for Paso! read more

I hobbled (well my car did) into MD Automotive after pulling the front bumper of my car off on some exposed rebar in downtown Paso. Headed to MD on the back of their strong Yelp reviews, and was not disappointed. I had no appointment and Craig was already very busy, but he was nice enough to have a look at my car and offer to help. He did a fantastic job reattaching my front bumper safely and securely, and had me back on the road in under 30 minutes. Thank you, Craig for your kindness and resourcefulness! read more

So, I havent had any work done here... But I called this morning to ask if they could help me do an inspection on a used car I am interested in. They were all booked today, but the gentleman went over a few details and things I can look for on my own when I go to look at the car. He took time out of his day, even though I wasn't even a customer! That's good service, Ill look forward to taking my car there in the future. Thanks a bunch! read more

Would not reccomend. Went for a smog a lil bit ago... took off work on a Monday to take it in. Upon arriving the guy at the counter told me the guy who smogs was out that day. I asked why nobody called me and he just shrugged his shoulders with no answer. Will never go back.or reccomend at all with service like that....... again, this did happen a while ago... not just a few weeks ago. read more

Craig & his crew have never let me down. They're honest, knowledgeable, & have unbeatable prices. I appreciate how Craig takes the time to explain the little details to me, rather than handing me a paper with a quote & sending me on my way. Their service is quick and reliable. Really thankful for this local, family owned business & will continue to go to MD for all of our car needs. read more

Craig was fast, efficient, and provided quality service for me. He was able to get my truck in for a smog within a day of calling. If you're looking for an honest mechanic in the Paso area I highly recommend him. read more

Worst experience ever since moving to Paso Robles. We went to MD Auto for a smog check but quickly discovered that they did not want to deal with an out of area vehicle. After five minutes on the DMV web site the guy at the counter started yelling at us saying he was done and wasn't going to deal with this and instructed us to leave. We were completely shocked, we did nothing to warrant this treatment. Two days later we called and asked to speak to Craig the owner but never received a call back. read more

So a long story but worth it. I have a Chrysler. So this story began at Cole Chrysler. I told them my front left end is making some kind of random squealing sound. They said it was part of the suspension. $500 later same sound. Then it was some $1k plus part. I didn't believe them and went to the Chrysler dealer in Paso Mullahey. I also told them my AC and Heater periodically work maybe every 1 out of 3 days it blows. At this point I also said I'm pretty sure the noise is the wheel bearing on the drivers side. Mullahey tells me man we've got our best mechanic in the shop on it and you'll be coming to us from now on. So anyways, Mullahey later calls and says the refrigerant was a bit low so the blower went into safety mode and they filled it back up and now it works. Now I'm no mechanic but I've had plenty of cars that went low and the blower always worked. Particularly so it would heat the car. This mechanic assured me I'm wrong when I went in. They also said the noise in front was ground effects dragging and they pulled them bacK and tied them off and they did this all for about $500. Anyways so I'm not convinced but I start the car and sure enough the AC worked. It was obviously the 1 day in 3. And before I was able to go on my trip that week I had to replace the front wheel bearing assembly. Because obviously if that was their best mechanic then I'll do it myself. Before I did it I called the service manager and said hey remember that ground effects which wasn't the wheel bearing. Well it was the wheel bearing and I'm about to change it out myself so I can go on skiing trip. Is it under warranty. He says nope. Not a sorry or nothing about wasting my money. I'll never go here again for a service. To make a long story short I came to this garage today. I tell them my story and they diagnose it within an hour or so. They give me a quote for a little under $500. I go in to pick it up shortly after the quote and they say hey. We got the price down for you it's now $403. I've generally worked on my own stuff my entire like because of experiences with clowns at places like Cole and Mullahey. But I'm now considering never turning a wrench again because of these guys. Trust, quality, speed, thrifty. What more can a guy ask for. You guys are amazing! read more

Awesome, friendly & honest service. Was able to get me in quick for both appointments. I'll definitely be going back. I highly recommend MD Automotive! read more

Super impressed with the quick response on my repair issue. While traveling out of town my car started making a pretty annoying noise. Although booked out several days, I was told to come in and they'd take a quick look. Thankfully it wasn't a major repair, just a flap. 20 minutes later I was on my way. Very nice to see small town mechanics still care! read more

Great place! They go the extra mile. Very trustworthy.

Called on a Friday for a maintenance check; they got us in on Monday, everything was 100% done by Tuesday. Super nice, super easy to work with! Billy especially was an A+!!! read more

Have had fantastic results! Great service! Very accomodating and reliable! Had a water pump go out the day before we were leaving town and even though they were extremely busy, they worked us in and had it done within several hours! We really appreciated the great customer service! read more

I first met Craig 8.5 years ago when I had a really nasty sound coming out of the steering column of my car. He could have put the screws to me but instead did a simple fix that I was embarrassed that I didn't think of it. We take all of our cars to him and have always found him to be honest and straightforward. He will always do right by you. read more

Very,very clean,excellent job on all my vehicles.Shop is wellkept and they do a professional job and make you feel comfortable

MD Automotive is the only place I will take my vehicles. They are honest and reliable. I have had my vehicles services there 3 times so far and every time, they have been friendly and helpful. read more

My husband and I were driving through town when our car broke down. Craig diagnosed the problem. He then ordered the part, repaired the vehicle and got us back on our way in a span of a few hours. He kept to his initial estimate. He also was kind enough to take my husband to and from the hotel as we had no transportation. Craig saved our vacation! We wish we had a mechanic like him in our area. We give Craig an A plus! Thank you! read more
