Alex helped me right away. He showed me the two battery options for my car and explained the differences in a way that actually made sense. He was also really quick to pull my old battery out and let me know that removing it first would save me around twenty two dollars because it covered the core cost. At one point I totally misheard him and did not follow him back into the store like I was supposed to. He ended up coming back outside to get me, and he stayed super patient the whole time even though my hearing is terrible and I kept feeling lost. He walked me through everything without making me feel dumb, answered all my questions clearly, and got everything done really fast. Honestly it ended up being a great experience.

I have to say this was probably the best smog check experience in the last 25 years living in monterey county!!! Plus it was exactly 50 dollars!

This place was honest and only charged the 50 dollars as promised on the phone!

We just moved to Pacific Grove last week. Today, in the pouring rain, it looked like one of my…read moretires was going flat - we thought it might have picked up a nail. My husband wanted to go to a chain tire shop but I wanted to go to a local Mom & Pop business so we ended up at Matteson's. Thank goodness they were open on this holiday Monday. They checked the flat tire and all the others - couldn't find a leak, put more air into the low tire and we were back on the road. They were kind and helpful. We will go there for all of our automotive needs in the future. We have found our auto shop!! Matteson's rules!

I called in advance to request a proper internal tire patch--a process that involves removing the…read moretire, repairing it from the inside, remounting, and balancing. I was quoted $35 for this service. I even marked the location of the air leak on the tire to make the repair straightforward. When I came to pick up my car, I discovered that instead of the patch I requested, the tire had simply been plugged. Upon mentioning this at checkout, the man in the back room told me, "Don't complain," and the woman at the counter insisted, "Plug and patch is the same thing." Neither response was professional, nor was the service what I had asked and paid for. For the record, plugging and patching are not the same, and I had confirmed with multiple other shops beforehand that they could perform the proper patching. In fact, I had the same service done in Los Angeles for $10, correctly and without dismissive comments. While this shop may be reputable for other services, I cannot recommend it for tire repair. Clear communication, professionalism, and delivering the service requested should be the minimum standard.

Best oil change!…read more Tired of dealership prices? Randy is the owner. He's actually at the shop every time I've been there. The prices are comparable but they allow you to bring your own oil and oil filter which lowers the price. Oil change synthetic = 109.95 Oil change regular = 64.95 When I bring oil = $44.78 (I think if I brought both it's $35) They make it cheaper for the locals. Great service and great deal!

For example my tire pressure light was on and they told me the sensor is broken and needs replacement but the tires are correct pressure so I don't need to do anything unless I want to spend the money.
