Best rates around ➕ Top Notch service!!!
Marco and his excellently trained mechanics will not only get you in and out quickly, but will bend over backwards to find the most affordable and efficient way of doing so!
I've had other mechanics in my lifetime, but Marco is by far the most genuine.
He truly cares more about your vehicle and you as a person than making huge profits and he'll work hard to get you back on the road in no time and keep you out of his shop until it's time for standard maintenance LOL
When I first came to him it was via recommendation from a tow truck driver so I was a little suspicious. My concern was immediately alleviated after talking less than five minutes with Marco.
He fixed my issue in my old car for 2 x less than everyone else was charging and the issue never came back again.
However my car was old and when the next issue came up almost a year later he look me in my eyes and told me I could spend money to fix it but the issue would never correct itself and I would just be returning continuously.
Bottom line he told me don't spend money with him and to just go buy a new car.
What mechanic who wants to make a profit tells you that that???
Marco's goal is not to make an unneeded profit.
His goal is to help his customers.
If that means telling them to invest in a new vehicle instead of continue to spend money fixing the same issue, then that's exactly what he'll do.
And that amongst other great reasons is why he is my mechanic and...
Read moreMy wife and I have been using Pasten Automotive for a few years now, since moving into the neighbourhood. I wouldn't take my vehicle anywhere else.
Marco, the owner, is one of the nicest, most honest, trustworthy and reliable people you'll have the pleasure to meet. He's the exact opposite of the type of mechanic the vast majority of us conjure up in our minds when thinking of them....they type that tell you there's 22 things wrong with your car, instead of just fixing your oil-leak and letting you get away without paying a small fortune for dubious upsells.
Marco will explain, and show you, exactly what went wrong, how they fixed it, and will never try and get you to sign on for unnecessary work. Such a refreshing change! He even hands you the broken parts over so you know exactly what was fixed, to guarantee he's not trying to be sneaky!
It's also nice to go to get your car fixed and come away with a smile on your face. As we live close-by, Marco has brought our newly-repaired car to our house a few times, which is just amazing. He's even turned up with a battery to jump-start our car after the battery ran out. You won't get that kind of service at one of the chain garages, that's for sure.
If your car breaks down, get it over to Pasten Automotive (ahem, or have them pick it up to get it there), you...
Read moreI first contacted Marco because my local Pepboy was telling me that I needed repairs. I asked them to print the reports with the parts needing the repair. Marco took time and test drove my car, and told me no immediate repair was needed. He also reviewed the Pepboy reports and told me they did not put anything that they told me, but lots of “limited warranty.” Everytime I get some lights on, they check. They even put fluids for free when I just came for the check and no service. They tell their honest opinions, such as how soon I need to get the repair. And when they repair, they try to combine the services to save money on labor. Recently I got my engine lights on, and Ed, Carols and Marco took 2 weekend days to find out the issue. The problem was too large of the amount to fix, so they told me to get a new car. Since the safety is not compromised, they are happy to take care of my car for the maintenance service until I get the new car. They took time to explain the issue the way I understand. They never “sell” unnecessary services just to make a quick money. They look for a long term relationship, and want their customers to be happy. I am very happy that I found them, and I want them to take care of all of my cars that I am getting...
