My mom has been coming here for as long as I can remember. I now bring my cars to them for any and every little thing. Very trustworthy men here. They re also pretty quick. I brought my jeep in for an oil change and to get a light fixed and they had it all done in an hour. 10/10 recommend!

Remember they are DOWNSTAIRS!! If you're upstairs, you're in the wrong spot!THE BEST TEAM EVER.First off, keep in mind they are in the same building as another mechanic. Central Car Repair is in the BACK DOWNSTAIRS part (have to go into the parking lot and then it is towards the back side but on the back/downstairs part of the building! If you are on the upper deck of the building, this is the wrong spot!)I always bring my vehicles here to fix anything. From oil changes all the way to any other repair. This is my go to spot and Mr. Man and his boys are the best. They are honest about their repairs and they do not overcharge. All work every done here has been done quickly, efficiently and kindly. They don't go overdoing it with the overselling and upselling for me to pay more just because I don't understand something.I will always come here for any car repair needs for lifeeeee.Services: Auto battery replacement, General repairs & maintenance, Electrical, Auto brake repair, Brakes, Oil change

Mr. Man is awesome in that he is honest, , does good quality work, offers reasonable and fair price for the work. He does not overcharge or take advantage of someone who is not knowledgeable in cars. His shop exceeds my expectation every time. I highly recommend his services to everyone I know.

Mr. Mann was very accommodating, patient and most of all HONEST. Work was done right and professionally. He explained what had to be done before the work was done in layman's terms so I could understand. I will definitely tell all my friends and family to go to him instead of the dealership! He beat the dealerships prices! I am now a lifelong customer!

I trust Mr. Man to work on my car. I can have no higher praise for any mechanic than the fact that I trust them and recommend them to others. I always come here when I need more expensive work done because the rates are great and the work is excellent, making it worth the extra effort to go here instead of the nearest garage.My only complaint is that if there is something Mr. Man doesn't feel comfortable doing because it likely wont come out well, then he will refuse to touch the job. For example, the GPS unit in my car went bad and Mr. Man doesnt want to replace the screen because the failure rate is so high and he thinks I will blame him if it doesnt work. He told me he used to do this work, but the units frequently failed after installation, so he stopped. He prizes his reputation for doing quality work.

They have working on my cars since 2000. I thought I was treated so well because my father is a friend of Mann, but Mann is good to everybody! Very fair pricing! Quick and quality work!

Mr Mann runs a honest business. Don't be fooled by the location and the shop appearance. They're accurate in their diagnosis and do good and fast work. They are very flexible as well. Also, he lets me bring in my own parts. You can't beat this place.

They're great. They always call with the real cost before doing repairs. If the dealer says something needs to be replaced Mr. Mann will check it out and let you know if you really need to shell out. If they say something needs to be replaced it actually does and they will charge you fairly.

I was so upset when my mom said we were switching mechanics from Mr. Mann to some shady guy on rt. 1 (all cause her FRIEND said he was good). You better believe that as soon as i was able I brought my car RIGHT back to Mr. Mann. You know those stories where they say mechanics would always try to take advantage of a woman's pockets? Doesn't happen here. Mr. Mann walks you through everything, gives you a fair price and tells you who to stay away from (ahem Midas?) where Midas was going to charge me 450 for my radiator order and replacement Mr. Mann told me to go get the stuff for myself and to bring it to him, let's just say the total of everything was half of Midas. LOVE Mr. Mann, and I will FOREVER be faithful to him from here on out. Needless to say so will my mother -From Ms. Burgess' daughter Mary aka the Ford Taurus girl!

They looked at a friend's car who was visiting from out of town. They were able to determine the problem was caused by the recent work they had done back home. He told them that although he could fix it, he'd have to charge them; but that it will definitely make it back home and their other mechanic should fix it for free, telling them what to tell the other mechanic. He didn't even charge them for looking at it!In every dealing I've had with them, they have been the same way. They get the problem fixed the first time and don't try to upsell you on some unneeded repair and explain everything to you in a way you can understand. These guys are simply great.

If Man tells you something is wrong with your car you can believe him. I had an overheating problem which another garage totally botched and he took care of it in one day. Recommended!

I always use this garage because they always try to do just what you need. They don't try to sell you services you don't need and are always very fairly priced.

Fast, relatively low cost, and not upscale in appearance. Expect honest service here unlike any mechanic shop I know!
