Matt is a fantastic mechanic and a very nice person to talk with. He knows a lot about cars (especially the European ones!) and you can feel how he really likes them and their care. He speaks clearly about the issues of your vehicle and 99% of times he solves your problem. Autoworks has been in several occasions my big helper for a safe drive.

I am a fan of Matt and his team at Autoworks LTD. The headline here is that this shop does good work. It is not cheap, but neither are the cars that they're fixing. Volvo cars, particularly the modern vehicles, will require certain specialized equipment that this shop will have because they specialize in Volvo and Lotus repair. Cutter Volvo charges $140.00 per hour for labor and Autoworks LTD charges $145.00 per hour. Should you pay more than the dealership to come here? It's up to you but I would say yes, probably.I have brought my 1992 Volvo 740 to both places and had pieces broken. Cutter Volvo broke my radiator -- Autoworks broke a small plastic trim piece in the cargo area of my car. Old Volvos seem to shed plastic like Golden Retrievers shed hair, so I'm not even deducting a star for this. The main reason to bring your car to Autoworks LTD over the dealership is that they are better technicians than the dealership. I have Yelp review for both places and will continue to post images of my bills at each. In my experience, the team at Autoworks LTD is preferable because they spend more time diagnosing problems with vehicles properly, leading to better repairs.

Honest and excellent auto repair. Highly recommend if you have a Volvo or other foreign car. There may be cheaper shops in town, but you ll end up paying more when they fail to fix your car! Much cheaper than going to the dealer and the service and work much better.

This mechanic tells it like it is - and I am a squishy, middle-aged lady. He quoted fair prices, triaged my car repair quotes in terms of "right now safety" and "can be done later" so that my wallet didn't hemorrhage, and had the work done on time. I absolutely trust him and find him to be an honest, quality mechanic.

Friendly, professional, and quality work at a good price. Highly recommend! They just replaced my condenser fan at half the cost I was quoted at the dealership.
