stopped by today with no appointment to see if I could have my thermostat replaced as my vehicle was running poorly for awhile because of it. They took me in immediately, and also let me know my sticker was just past due for an oil change but made it very clear they were not pressuring me to do while there, was just bringing it to my attention. I decided to have it done anyways. Their pricing for my repair, and oil change was very acceptable! There was no run around. Just cut and dry which I appreciated very much. The staff was welcoming and made you feel like a friend! Daryl (the owner) is someone I felt in my heart was an honest wholesome man. And the technician (i believe his name was Dan) was very knowledgeable and didn't try to upsell me on a single thing. When I picked up my vehicle I was slightly nervous because we all know there's always some sort of bad news you hear after work is done. "This needs replaced asap, thats broken and will break down if not replaced soon" and quotes are prepared before you even show up. NONE of that occurred. I wasnt targeted to be upsold on a single thing. I didn't get the typical lecture of needing to spend hundreds of dollars in the near future. Dan told me everything checked out well, ran my payment and they both wished me a great evening! I came home and told my boyfriend if he ever needs work done he doesn't want to do, to take it there. I had the most pleasant experience and I cant thank the staff enough for making me feel like I was leaving my vehicle in great hands! I will be coming back! read more

Finding a good local auto repair shop is a difficult task. That being said and being new to the area I think I found a gem. Molalla Auto Repair is a small shop with good service, good prices and good people. Honesty on what they are capable of doing and what is not in their wheel house was also greatly appreciated. Darryl was an absolute pleasure to speak with and very helpful in guiding me to the places I needed for additional service. I would recommend them to anyone. read more

I didn't have a mechanic and didn't know who to trust. I found both with Molalla Auto Works. Thank you Linda read more

I needed a headlight replaced. I called ahead and spoke to Darryl and he was very nice we agreed I should come by. After looking under the hood to see how difficult to access and replace(turns out it was very easy access) we went inside and I was given a verbal estimate of $230.00+. The plus as I was told by the receptionist was that it would possibly cost a bit more. I asked if they had the parts in stock and was informed the did not but they could get them quickly as there is an auto parts supply right down the road. So an appt was set for a couple of days later. I then went down the road to Napa and asked if they had the headlights I needed and what the cost was, $10.99. So needless to say I purchased them and it took my husband under 20 minutes to do. I cancelled my appt. The cost of two headlights is just over $21.00 so the rest was labor? I will not be returning to this business in the future. read more

I've just become a lifer. I picked up my car from Molalla Auto Works and it sounds and is running great. I was looking for someone local who would replace an exhaust manifold on an older car I just bought, without having to take out a second on my house. In obtaining estimates, Molalla Auto Works responded the quickest, and with the most competitive price. I feel confident I'm dealing with people who have a strong moral compass and conviction to practice the golden rule. It was pretty evident in everything they said and did. Their actions backed their estimate. Having integrity is critical in this day and age. Couple that with work quality that is second to none, and you have an unbeatable combination. This shop is now my "go to" shop for future automobile maintenance and repairs. I recommend them with pleasure and confidence. read more

Came in to get my left blinker looked as it was getting stuck & not actually blinking. They quoted me a repair at $270 & said it would take about 2 hours, but it ended up being $176 & took only 1 hour! They worked swiftly & fixed it right up for me. Since they finished early, they even went to the trouble to tighten some of the screws in my janky door handles! Awesome work from these guys! Thanks so much read more

I stopped here when I heard an ominous knocking sound coming from under my car somewhere. I was sure I had thrown a rod or worse, but the owner carefully checked under the hood, the wheels, and then drove it around the block - after the 5:00 pm closing time, mind you - and then proceeded to fix my car right then and there, so I could get back on the road to Eugene. What a good-natured, jovial, kind angel. He could have told me anything and I would have believed it and paid whatever-but not only did he fix the problem (the lug nuts hadn't been properly tightened by the so-called mechanics who "fixed" my brakes in Eugene a few weeks ago and my tire was about to come OFF), he barely charged me for the 45 minutes it took him (he had another customer come in during my ordeal and took time for him as well). When I asked what I owed he said "Oh I don't know, you can donate to the donut fund if you want. How about $10?" I am so grateful to know mechanics like him still exist in this world, and if I need any work done on my old Subaru, I will drive the 2 hours to have him fix my car. Honest and gets the job done right! When I get a new car, I'll take it to him as well. read more

I called Molalla Auto Works looking for a mechanic to inspect a used truck that I was looking at buying. Unfortunately they were going to be closed the day that I needed the inspection. Despite this, the guy I spoke with gave me some tips on purchasing used trucks and gave me specifics on the make and model that I was considering. He was very helpful and friendly. read more

All staff were very friendly and seemed knowledgeable. Quick turnover. I had brought my car somewhere else for a diagnosis and didn't trust them so when I mentioned my concerns for replacing something that didn't need to be changed. They were very understanding and . They confirmed the work needed for free. Car sounds and is running a lot better! Also told me about the only 1 other issue they found. Price is very reasonable compared to other shops I called. Almost the same price as the place I bought my car from that gives 50% off labor and parts to people who buy from them. read more
