The best thing you can say about an auto repair shop is that you trust them. I trust these guys with my Toyota Prius. I trust their honesty, and I trust the quality of their work.

Thank you so much Bruce. Trust truly is the most important aspect of any relationship. You have been bringing your car(s) to us for a number of years and we really appreciate your business, your time and your thoughts. Thanks again! Robert and the entire Model Garage team.

These guys are the best! I've been coming here since 1995 when I had my original Volvo. Now I have a Lexus and don't trust anyone else to work on my car.

Thank you so much, whoever you are! The most important part of auto repair is the trust. We so appreciate your trust in us and what we do. Robert and the entire Model Garage Team.

These guys were very communicative, and did a great job! I already recommended them and plan on going back anytime I have mechanical issues!

Thank you Owen. We so appreciate your business and your recommendation. Word of mouth is the best! Robert and the entire Model Garage Team.

The Model Garage has made a new customer for life! I was lucky enough to stumble across The Model Garage based on great Yelp reviews. I went by without an appointment bc my old Honda Ridgelines check engine light and two others suddenly came on, and shes had some intermittent bouts of hesitation and was making weird sounds in the year leading up to that point. I love my old truck so wanted to get her taken care properly, asap. My previous go-to Honda dealership service center sadly turned untrustworthy and had terrible communication so I was in the market for a crew who actually cared about preserving older cars vs just discarding in favor of something new. From the moment I walked into The Model Garage shop, they were kind, attentive, listened really well and asked thoughtful questions to help identify the issues, outline my options, and put a plan together for how to tackle the multiple repairs and services needed. They continued being communicative throughout the week she was in the shop (parts on order, etc) and politely allowed me ample time to review the estimates and ask questions, without ever pressuring me to hurry. We came up with a 2-part plan to make it more wallet friendly, and they even returned my truck cleaner than I dropped her off! Its been 3 weeks since the work was completed, and Im so pleased with how shes running. It boosts my confidence knowing that my instinct was right and my old truck does indeed have more reliable years to give. (Take that, jerky Honda service center!!)

Thank you Shannon! All I can say is wow! We too are lucky to have had you stumble by! We have so many very long time customers, happy to add you to that growing list. We work hard every day to do what we do and it is so much sweeter when it gets noticed. We look forward to keeping the Ridgeline on the top of the mountain as long as it makes sense for you. Robert and the entire Model Garage team.

Another great job from The Model Garage!

Thank you Jackie! Another great job means another great day here at the shop. It is a delicate balance fixing today's complex cars and taking care of their owners. (They are often complex too!) We enjoy what we do and even more so when it gets noticed. Thanks for your business and your time. Robert and the entire Model Garage team.
