5 /5 Johnny Blaze: Update 29AUG2019: I was struggling with the purchase of a used car that has new and unfamiliar sounds from underneath, and could not get the steering as smooth as I would like. Rick was instrumental in assuaging my fears that I bought a wrecked vehicle. Rick and The service writers have been serving a Belton for a long time, and I value their opinion. While the car was in the shop having a window motor replaced, they looked the car over, drove it, and determined that I simply have some stubborn tires that need road balancing to smooth the ride. That may not seem like a big deal, but to me, it was a huge help. I just needed to know where to focus my efforts. As you read my original post, I hope everyone picks up on the value of having a quality mechanic and reputable shop sort out any issues if troubleshooting is required. This shop is much better at troubleshooting than any other business I patronize. I try to keep all of my business local, and I appreciate the local business that donate used, but not used up equipment to the local high school. This shop is well known for supporting the high school automotive technology facilities. They are not open weekends, and they can get back logged during the summer, but they are worth the wait. One reason why M & B won’t be the least expensive, is the quality of the parts ordered for your vehicle. Quality parts helps to ensure longer service life of a repair, which will save you money in the long run. The best analogy I can give you is fast food; there is a reason you can buy a fast-food burger for a buck... it may satisfy you for the moment, but you will likely “pay” for it later on. I never have a problem at M & B; I’m not going to have heart-burn over a repair later on.
Original post: This location offers automotive services at a good value. They are not the least expensive, but they are efficient, which saves you money. A big thumbs up to Rick for researching items for my Mustang. My recommendation is to drop your car off the night before it will be serviced. Mechanics often appreciate a cooler motor and exhaust when working on a vehicle, and having the car on hand allows the mechanics to efficiently manage the work load. I have never found it necessary to return a vehicle to M&B for a warranty repair. Everything they have fixed for me has stayed operational. I make every effort to keep my vehicles in good operational condition, and when I cannot perform the tasks myself, I look to M&B to make the repair or perform the maintenance. To reiterate; though the shop rate at M&B may be higher than some other locations, M&B is much quicker with troubleshooting and makes good repairs, which saves you money.
