Such great guys that I want to bring my business here every time. I ve gone here multiple times and the mechanics have always done an excellent job at explaining what may be wrong, as well as quickly and most-affordably solving the issue. The prices are more than fair and he will not recommend unnecessary services. You cannot go wrong coming to this shop! May be one of the most honest shops in the metro area!

I have been going to this shop for years and he has my 97 Honda Accord running beautifully. Amazing service. A truly honest mechanic who will have your back. Top quality guy who has never let me down. Service is quick and prices are totally fair. Highly recommend.

Maxim is a great Mechanic but most of all an honest service oriented guy he truly cares about his customers best interest. He promises something and keeps his promises. I had an engine mount on a bmw x1 he said only 100.00 for labor but it took him way longer he still honored the price. I will definitely be going back for more business and owe him a dinner!!! Thanks Maxim!!

It was kind of an accident...I wasn't planning it when I drove past the open bay at Maxim Auto Care. But I stopped. The front "skirt" on my 2014 Ford Escape was falling off--the plastic connectors worn out.It was a total cold call. The mechanic was just finishing up another car.What happened next was so unexpected and refreshing: Vitaliy, the mechanic, put my car up, showed me the problem, fixed it with an ingenious hack and sent me off.WOW. Beep, beep-- Not a Corporate Auto Shop but a kind and capable guy who can fix a car!!

Go to this shop.I was frantically looking for a last minute fix and they called me back after all hope was lost and were able to get the problem fixed and me back on the road in an HOUR.Throughout it all they were informative, fair, kind, and incredibly efficient. Just good vibes all around.You don t want to miss out on getting your car fixed by Maxim Auto Care.

I recently took my car there for the first time. They were honest, fair and transparent about the work that needed to get done. They went out of their way to have my car back to me same day. Very fair pricing. So happy to have found this place. We will certainly be coming back for all of our future needs. Would highly recommend to everyone.

Absolutely love this place. The mechanic albeit having a classic acceptable bit of snark, was very fair and honest. He will call before any charge and ask for approval. He knew I could put an alternator in myself and ordered a new one etc but said I should install it myself to save money. Fantastic! Very transparent would recommend to anyone.

I was visiting from Canada and ran over a pothole, which tore a hole in the side of my tire. These guys took me in with no appointment and patched up my tire for free! They were so knowledgeable and took their time to help us out. Would definitely recommend them to anyone!Services: Tires, General repairs & maintenanceServices: Tires, General repairs & maintenance

Vitaliy is awesome. Got my oil changed for much cheaper than somewhere like JiffyLube and it was done just as quickly. These guys were friendly and honest, chatted with me about when I might need to get my brakes replaced but weren't pushy at all. Didn't try to upsell me on anything. Highly recommend.

These guys are an absolute godsend! I tried to do a tune up myself and well I m no mechanic and they helped me figure out what I did wrong at a great price that a poor musician could afford. Thank you guys SO much!!! I will definitely be using your business for all my car issues going forward!Service: General repairs & maintenanceService: General repairs & maintenance

Very fast work and fair pricing! Most other shops quoted me two to three times what I was quoted here and the work was done within a few hours. Will absolutely come back here for future repairs needed.

First time visiting this mechanic and was very happy with the time they took to explain things, their willingness to try the most affordable approach first and the quick turnaround.

The mechanic that runs this shop is a very straight forward and honest guy. Other shops told me it would take three days for the work that Vitaly completed in less than an hour(really just over a half an hour). The first time I talked to him on the phone was less than 24 hours prior. He ordered the parts, had it in the shop when I got there in the morning and kept me updated about the progress of the parts. I was honestly pretty amazed by the whole experience. Definitely will recommend people looking for an honest mechanic. It s a good feeling finding a mechanic you can trust.

This place is awesome. He charged me less than half of what the dealership had quoted, and was very honest and transparent about the work that needed (or actually didn't really need) to be done. He even changed my cabin air filters free of charge, and the air in my car is sooo much nicer now! I highly recommend taking your car here for service.

Honest mechanics! He will let you see and stay next to your car and tell you what s really wrong or needs to replace in the car. I would definitely recommend this small auto repair shop but has quality work.

Awesome mechanic, very knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. My car broke down outside of the business hours and the owner still answered my call, guided me what to do to drop off my car, and said he would call me first thing. Sure enough, 9am rolls around and I get a call with what's wrong with the Jeep, what needs to be fixed, how much it will cost, etc. and they get it done by lunch. I will absolutely be returning if we have any other problems. I highly recommend you check them out if you need any work done.

I brought my girlfriend's Hyundai and then my own Honda to Maxim, and in both cases Vitaly went over the diagnostics with me, talked me through options to fix problems, gave me the option to order my own parts, and then installed them charging only for labor. In a world full of dishonest mechanics, it's great to find someone trustworthy.If you're going to buy a used car, bring it here first - Vitaly will charge something like $50 to give it a once-over. In my case, he even made short-term repair projections and suggested a new negotiated price with the seller based on the mechanical condition of the car. Well worth it!

I was just visiting Portland from Sacramento when I noticed I had a coolant leak / overheating issue. I brought the car in and he diagnosed a radiator crack immediately causing a leak and then later on called about the water pump needing replacement as well because of it leaking too. He encouraged me to reach out to our mechanic in CA to get a quote from them for comparison and his price was indeed much lower. He was able to get the two engine part replacements done by the next morning, when I was needing to drive back to CA. He also fixed my headlight for free, which was out. After his repairs I was able to safely drive back to CA with no issues!

Highly recommended! My car s leak was diagnosed in an instant, fixed/several parts replaced in less than a day, and he even rinsed off my pollen-encrusted car for me It s so wonderful to find a highly skilled mechanic who s willing to keep an older, high mileage car running and charge what someone who drives such a car can afford. Thank you!

No mechanic is a miracle worker. But what you get is a straight-forward, honest, and earnest mechanic that will save you time and money in the long run. Fair and reasonable prices for excellent work. The guy doesn t cut corners and won t BS or nickel and dime you. I ll be returning here for all my car s maintenance and work!

I've been trusted the maintenance of my car to Vitaliy at Maxim for many years and have also recommended him to family, friends and colleagues. He is very knowledgeable and is great at explaining what is needed, your options and things to consider in the future. He has been very honest and efficient in all of my experiences with him over the years. You can tell he cares about the quality of his work and also he cares about people. There's no one I would ever recommend higher.

My friend referred me to try Maxim Auto Care LLC. couple weeks ago. I was able to book an appointment to fix my brakes in a timely manner even during the busy thanksgiving week. Vitaliy was definitely one of the most honest mechanic I have ever dealt with (on top of being an awesome and knowledgeable). He didn't try to up-sell any services even though I was ready to pay for the big brake jobs (rotors, pads, flush, etc..) and only performed the necessary jobs. His service was fast and well-priced. My brakes never felt this good before! I would definitely bring my cars back to Vitaliy if I ever need another job done.
