PLEASE DON T BRING YOUR VEHICLE HERE. THIS IS MY FOURTH TIME BRINGING IT BACK FOR THE SAME ISSUE!!To make it worse, it s causing an even bigger issue now.I brought my vehicle for a radiator repair due to smoking and overheating. They charged me $579 to replace the radiator and the smoking and overheating persisted.I brought it BACK. They told me I needed a radiator cap and the smoking and overheating persisted. I brought it back a 3rd time and they told me they could charge $200 to see if it s the water pump and stated that they didn t see anything overheating or smoking. I left it an additional day and told them to do an extended test drive because knew that the vehicle was having issues. Long story short, they ended up resetting my codes and not fixing anything or giving me a definitive answer.I m finally on my way to bring it back for the FOURTH time and my vehicle is now completely disabled after smoking and running hot. They did not offer me a tow or any type of assistance at all whatsoever. Had the issue been fixed any of the prior 3 times, my vehicle would be running right now. Instead, I am stuck on the turnpike with my 3 year old daughter with my disabled vehicle trying to choose between fixing an issue on my vehicle that should ve already been fixed or towing it to the same idiots that didn t fix it the first time.Service: General repairs & maintenance

This place is awesome. Great guys going above and beyond to assist. They even helped me when they were closing early that day. I thought i was going to be in such a bind but they worked with me and helped me find a more then affordable solution. Even took me home when i didnt have a ride. Im never going to anyone else.

Based on Mackey's 4+ star Google rating, we took our car to Mackey Radiator. Auto Care for what we thought was a radiator leak. I wish there were a Zero or less stars option to reflect how terrible our experience was 33 days, $698, and constant run-around about what they were doing with the car, and the problem we approved/paid for is not fixed!Dropped off the car on December 28, 2023. They told us the problem was actually a water pump leak, and because they had to remove timing belt to get to the pump, we should replace both (we approved). We paid for the water pump and timing belt. We go to pick up, they say the battery is not holding a charge and leaking battery fluid (and that sometimes that happens when you add new component parts ?). They replace battery, we go to pick it up, car is not starting, something is wrong with the electrical system (and they vaguely imply that they might have done or not something to electrical system when they replaced timing belt but they promise to diagnose the problem at their own expense, generous). Weeks went by no one but the owner would talk to us when we called to ask for status of repairs, he was never there, so we would leave messages and wait sometimes days for a call back. He told us something different every time about why there was a delay. Twice, while they were still diagnosing what was wrong with electric system, he tried to talk us into putting a new engine in the car while they had it because then the car will be like new (maybe to cover up whatever they messed up?).We picked the car up 33 days later, January 29, 2024. Owner refused to give us a written summary of everything they did to the car AFTER the water pump and timing belt (the only two things we approved), he wouldn t even give us a receipt showing that we picked the car up that day. He told us he didn t really keep track, mumbles something about a couple of things he thinks they did which is actually an upgrade . Said he would ask the mechanic to tell him what all he did to the car, and he ll email us the next day. We have not received that email (or a call back about sending us the details) and don't expect to hear from them.AND now, the water pump is STILL leaking (the only thing we have a receipt for is not fixed). We don t have any hope of getting any reply from Mackey. The owner is a liar and a cheat based on our experience. We've filed a Better Business Bureau complaint (but Mackey has multiple un-answered BBB complaints so we expect ours will go unanswered also).

I was getting ready to go on a trip. But i forgot to get my truck looked at until the last minute. I called Mackey they had me an appointment an hour later. I dropped off my truck for inspection and tune up. They called me 2 hours later telling it was ready for pick-up im not going anywhere else from now on.

Be careful the 2 owners (brothers) calm and friendly demeanor will calmly bite your pockets at anytime. Charged me $700 misdiagnosed the problem on my 2016 dodge grand caravan 3.6 there was no cracked plastic upper intake. It was a miss and it was internal motor related if they would have scanned the car properly and looked at the Livestream data, it would say what cylinders were misfiring and also tell a person what specs were on the cam and crank sensors, etc and matched them up. So I basically was out $700 and took the van home. They wanted to charge me 2600 after that.

I am an employee of a reputable salvage yard. Mackey purchased a number of parts from us and bounced over $4000 worth of checks on us that has of yet been resolved since last year. We have been in touch with other yards in our network to warn vendors of this situation, just to learn that 4 major vendors have also been burned by Mackeys! If he treats his auto part vendors like this, just imagine what shady business they are conducting "servicing" their customers vehicles!

Very friendly and always willing to explain whats going on! I've been coming here for 3 years and thats the longest I've dealt with an auto shop! They are very reasonable and they never gave me the impression that they are out to take advantage of people. Shout out to Wes and Mike!

My friend and neighbor, Carol, told me about this shop and how honest and reliable they are. I took my SUV there for an A/C repair and they are very reasonable and honest. As a female, one is quite often taken advantage of in the world of car repair. They even gave me a ride to work when I dropped it off. One of my elderly friends at church was having trouble with her car and I recommended Mackey. Again, because of their honesty and reliability. I certainly would not hesitate going there again or recommending them to friends/family.

I called Mackey Auto Care looking for someone who could do a flush on the heater core on our 2013 Dodge Ram Longhorn Laramie. The dealer had recommended replacing heater core. So heater core was a really expensive job. There process fixed our problem and was less than quoted. After they did such a good job I had them replace the electric water pump on our 2010 prius again they came in and got the job done faster than they said saved me a whole day and lots of money. I highly recommend them for any type of auto repair you have!
