I LOVE these guys! They are friendly and helpful and honest. Everyone recommended them to me when I moved to the area and started having car troubles and knowing theyre so reliable has taken tons of stress off my mind. They have great prices and do quality work. They will treat you and your car right. Its no wonder their customers are so loyal!
I started using these guys during the pandemic while my other mechanic was closed. They can be very busy at times so you might need to wait for an appt., but twice now I’ve had a check engine light come on, and they told me come by and they’ll check it out and both times they were fast and courteous, fit me in between other work just so I know I it’s safe to keep driving and get me back on the road. I trust their diagnostics and they’re professional and explain well what is wrong. They even sent an inspection reminder card in the mail like the dentist or vet.
Two brothers has this awesome shop. Genuine and true to their service. Took good time to explain the process on the phone and also in person. They also took the additional effort to find battery for me which was not the one they offer. They offer free pit stops too. Love them !!!They are the only shop I will ever go.
Very professional, utterly reliable and extremely honest. I have been going to them for years, and hate to let anyone else touch the car. Still using them even though I no longer live in Germantown. Good people.
These mechanic/owner brothers are good and they perform my yearly inspection with great ease, reasonably priced and efficient. BUT, not this year...I had an 8am appt. and I couldnt pick up my car until 4pm the next day and it cost close to $600 ... $400 for one tire which I dont understand still cause I didnt drive my car more than 300 miles due to covid! Might have to find another inspection station.
Gave me great advice about buying my first car. Came with questions, left with answers. No charge. Good people
Monte Brothers is the BEST. They do a great job and save me money every time I go there. They are keeping my 2005 Mazda 3 running well.
Ever since Ive moved into the Germantown area, Rick, Pete, and Co. have given me excellent service. Even going as far as giving me free monthly pit stops due to my regular visits. They treat all of their customers like family and provide fair prices for their repairs. You really get what pay for here and they always want to provide the better investments for your cars longevity.
Very professional! Great customer service. Took time to explain repair work that was needed on my car.
Great service, my first time there. The car in question had been service at several other locations including my mechanic since 73, the problem returned after 2 days, Monte fixed it, still going strong several weeks later. Monte & Sons forever.
I absolutely love Monte & Sons Auto Repair. They have fair pricing and they offer a pit stop check up to make sure that your car is always running correctly. They are also so kind and welcoming. It really feels like they care, I am so glad this is my mechanic!
They are the best mechanic I have dealt with. Rick and Pete are honest, reasonable with what the urgent repairs are and more knowledgeable than the dealers I used to take my cars to. I wish I knew of them sooner.
I have had nothing but good experiences here. They are very straight forward and seem to take a lot of pride in their business.
I’ve been going to Monte and Sons, for over three years now. I initially purchased a car from a private owner, who had been taking their car there and was recommended by them to check out their services. They have always been honest, effective and professional. Above and beyond service. I highly recommend them.
My daughter, who is in her last year of college, went to Monte & Sons with very serious car problems. Issues that could be repaired at the shop were fixed for a fair price but then they realized she needed a major transmission rebuild and had a leaking fuel system as well. After referring her to a trustworthy transmission shop Monte & Sons continued to look up her cars model make year and related issues, called a dealer and uncovered a recall as well as an issue that could be fixed under the power train warranty. They had her quickly take her car from the transmission shop (a repair that would have cost thousands of dollars) and get into a dealership who ended up doing extensive work on her car; for free! My little girl is only 21, has very little money, we are in the middle of a pandemic, partially unemployed and can barely help her. I cannot tell you how much this meant to our family. You didnt need to be this amazingly kind but you were. We will tell everyone we know that you are THE BEST auto shop in the area!!!
Loyal followingMonte and sons is worthy of the loyal following a good mechanic usually gets. I have been a loyal customer for over 10 years. I have a 96 Toyota RAV4 with over 300,000 mi that they Help me keep on the road.The business has a family atmosphere and Rick and Pete are courteous and friendly. An extra added bonus is that they arrange for someone from the shop to pick up and drop off if my car needs to stay in the shop for repair. I highly recommend Monte and sons if you are looking for a mechanic in the area.
Excellent service! We have used their services for years and they are always on point! They are professional along with being personable. Also, they are so mannerly! Love this place!
Ricky and Pete and the team are great! They are friendly and caring. They have gone above and beyond for us many times. I trust them and appreciate their work.
Honest folk... family owned
Rick and Pete set the standard for customer service and honesty in the mechanic business. I recently needed to come in last minute for an oil change before heading out of town and they were able to fit me in right away. I started going to Monte and Sons approx 7 yrs ago and I’ve been extremely happy with the maintenance and repair work performed on our car. I’ve always found their costs to be fair and reasonable and the workmanship is awesome. They won’t try to up-sell you and will make helpful recommendations about the best way forward. If you need to drop your car off during business hours, they will offer you a ride home and then offer to pick you up if needed. Couldn’t ask for a friendlier shop.
At Monte & Sons Auto Repair, Inc I was able to get a same day appointment for my break light that had gone out. The staff took very good care of me; doing a thorough inspection of my car, providing the services I needed including an oil change, topping of my fluids and checking my tire pressure. They went above and beyond providing viable recommendations for an issue Ive been trying to get fixed by the dealership.The staff at Monte & Sons Auto Repair, Inc is extremely friendly providing dealership like service in a neighborhood mechanic shop setting. I was very pleased!!!
Great service, friendly staff who really care about their customers. Have been going there for 35 years. Highly recommended.
Upon getting an oil change and tires filled it was a great experience. I got picked up and dropped off. Reasonable prices for it and they filled the tires and checked everything. Later that night I noticed a check engine light. I called and they texted me to come in whenever, and they would address it. I did and Pete explained the issue and it was no cost and he explained it in a way that I totally understood. I wouldn’t trust anyone else and they have always been so friendly, reliable, reasonable and always did great work. I’ve taken my car there since 2015 and would trust no one else with my car. I hope they stay in business for a long time !!!
Fair and honest mechanics are usually hard to find but once you do, you only shop with them. Montes & Sons Auto Repair is that place.
I have been going to Monte & Sons since I have been driving and they are always incredibly professional, kind, and honest. I truly cannot recommend them highly enough!
I moved back to Mt.Airy recently and knew I needed my car inspected but wasnt sure where to turn. I immediately requested recommendations from my neighbors on the NextDoor app and received an overwhelming response from my community! One name that popped up several times was Monte and Sons. So many loyal customers who have been going to Montes for 20+ years and wouldnt think to go anywhere else. I put my faith in my neighbors and made a request online for an inspection. I received a prompt reply via email with clear communication and info about where to drop my car the night before. I dropped my car off and the next afternoon when my car was ready Pete came and picked me up!Prices are fair and service was friendly as can be! I highly recommend this family owned business for your car needs!
Good people no bs
My former mechanic was great, but he retired. I knew I’d never find a great mechanic like him again. WRONG! Monte & Sons turned out to have all the things offered by my former mechanic; they do great work, they’re honest, they take good care of your vehicle and they don’t gouge you on the price. What more could you ask for, in a mechanic?
Dropped my car off there twice. Once for inspection and another time for repair. Experience went well both times. Plus they can usually get your car done in a reasonable time frame.
We love Ricky, Pete and Rudy. Great reliable service at an honest price. I’ve been a customer for 19 years. All of our employees also depend on Monte and Sons.
They do great 👍 work been with them for years
Reasonable prices place for inspection and other auto problems.
Awesome repair shop. I have been going to Monte for a few years now and really appreciate all they do with my cars !
Ive been a customer of Monte and Sons for seven years now, since moving to Philadelphia. It was just luck that I called when when I had a car problem. Seven years later all I have is praise for Rick, Pete and company. They are honest, friendly, reliable, and knowledgeable. Their prices are fair and reasonable. They are truly the kind of family business that we all hope we will find, but rarely do. Their parents taught them well. I recommend them to anyone who even mentions cars to me.
Ricky, Pete & sons are very knowledgeable about what theyre doing,they did a great job on my car. Im very HAPPY with the outcome .In other words they are my go-to mechanics. I will be returning for routine check-ups and any other needs that may required. I recommend others to give them a call with any issues that they may be experiencing with their vehicleThanks Monte & Sons
I found this place when my battery died nearby. AAA has free 5 mile towing and they had the best reviews in the 5 mile radius.Now I wouldn’t consider going anywhere else! Everyone who works there is friendly and down-to-Earth.Just one way they stand out is, if they tell me the problem and I say, “okay but what exactly does the that mean?” or “What does that device do?” Ricky will pull out a colored schematic and explain to me in detail what it means, what the device does, the problem with it and ways to solve it. Answering all my questions until I understand.I’m not very car savvy (though I’m getting a little better). That coupled with being a woman can make getting car repairs extra stressful. That first time I went to their shop I was WAY behind on routine maintenance because the mechanic I had trusted had retired. I have had issues with shadier auto motive places in the past. It was so time consuming and stressful to find someone I could trust that I ended up not taking it anywhere.So i can’t stress enough how great and refreshing it is to take my car to knowledgeable, awesome people who will answer my questions and fix my car. Who will tell me issues that I will need to deal with in the future or tell me something I thought I could put off is something I definitely can’t. It is stressful enough having a car, in general. Monte & Sons make getting maintenance and repairs as easy as possible. Go!! You will not be disappointed!
Ive been going to them for over 20 years. That says it all.
My husband and I have been bringing all our cars here for years. We trust Rick and Pete. Period. They are fair, honest and knowledgeable, and always looking out for our best interests. The cherry on top is the free ride home once Ive dropped off my car!
Speedy & reliable service! Will definitely use them again!!
Honest longtime family business run by Rick and Pete Monte. Outstanding service, honest and trustworthy. I highly recommend!
I have been to other places, but Rick and Pete are the best. They are consistently honest, reliable, and reasonably priced. I totally trust their judgment. And they are always available to answer questions about small things. I have recommended them to lots of friends, and everyone comes away satisfied.Dr, David Barcan
Great service
Continue to have an excellent experience dealing with automotive repair at Monte & Sons. They do excellent work and charge a fair price. Both Rck and Pete Montiero tell you exactly what repairs you car needs and and do not embellish in any way. When Monte & Sons have completed your cal repairs you know that its in its safest and best repair. Quality is what Monte & Sons provides
Best in the City!
Awesome auto repair shop!! Honest, fair and friendly staff always is proactive to tell you of future needs to maintain your car. I have been a customer for 20 years.
Trustworthy and knowledgeable mechanic. Prices are not cheap but are fair, and worth it since theyre trustworthy.
Very honest and straightforward service from a family business. I brought my car in thinking it needed a new CV joint and they found it was a wheel bent by a pothole, and rather than try to sell me a new set of wheels they were able to repair it for one tenth what I thought it would cost. Highly recommended.
These guys are great. I dont even consider taking my car elsewhere. I call them for advice on all things vehicle related...maybe even more. You can not find anyone more knowledgeable. Six stars really!!!
From the first day two years ago. I stopped in to have our car inspected. Since then Monte and Sons are the car whisperers! They are the real deal! They have passion for what they
Most reliable mechanic we ever had!
These guys are our go to people for anything having to do with our cars. Weve been going here since we moved here almost 20 years ago. They are knowledgeable, honest, and reasonably priced. They are also good people and neighbors.
These guys are absolutely fantastic. Ive never had such a positive experience with a mechanic. Theyre super friendly, honest, and their prices are more than reasonable. It makes me wish things would go wrong with my car more often just so I could stop by and say hello!
These guys are the best! Theyre honest, friendly, efficient and very good at what they do. Anyone living in NW Philadelphia and needing car work done would be doing themselves a favor by giving their business to Monte & Sons Auto Repair. I discovered them by word of mouth, saw the reviews on line and am very glad that I did!
Ive been bringing my cars to Ricky and Pete for 18 years. I also have all of my work trucks serviced at Monte and Sons. Both my Boys bring their cars to Ricky. He and Pete have helped them make decisions on what first car to buy. Most of my employees also bring their cars to Ricky. I refuse to move from Mount Airy out of fear of losing my mechanic. Truly the best mechanic Ive ever had.
Rick and Pete run a good car repair shop. What I like most about them is that they repair what they say they are going to repair without any problems. They are friendly and take the time to explain to you what is wrong with your car. I have been using their shop now for 30 years. Wow!
I have been going to these guys for years and will not go anywhere else. Rick and Pete are the most honest mechanics I have ever known and completely trust their services.
My entire family uses them and we always have. I wouldnt go anywhere else.... Loyalty and respect go along way I. The business world...
By far my favorite place to take my car in the 15 years Ive been owning cars. The guys always make time to get my car in and out, even, as today, late in the afternoon on the day after a holiday. Theyll check the car over well, get the work done fast, and they are very affordable, too. Living in Mt. Airy, they are easy to get to, and theyve offered me a lift in the past if the car had to be there for a while. They are also right by the 23 and XH buses to get into town.
Family business that’s been here for awhile and they do great work!
We’ve been taking our car to Monte’s ever since we moved to Germantown. They are always reliable and fair. Can’t recommend them enough!
Thay over charged on labor and got this strange habits of telling you that your oil is low putting oil over the required level will destroy your engine charged me for itt with other things charged you...I was even charged for a air flow filter that was never installed... this is not a place to bring your car....Your a Bunch of Money Grubbing Crooks...
The best mechanics I have ever had!
Dont know yet,had to set appointments
Straight up crooks. Took my car to one mechanic. He said I needed 2 tires to pass inspection but couldnt find them. I knew Mont es had found me tires before, so I went to them $600 to pass. Never again. Go see Bob at Gabriel Goodyear on ridge. Cars been running like a dream ever since for very reasonable prices.
A family business with wonderful honest mechanics. Trust their judgment, they know what theyre doing! (And you will not be pushed into unnecessary repairs unlike national chains!)
Ricky and Pete are truly the most honest, trustworthy, reliable, efficient and the best mechanics in town!They are kind and knowledgeable and have your best interest at heart along with giving you a ride to make the whole journey even more pleasant.
Ive been taking my car to Pete and Rick for years and theyre the best!
Great customer service!! Ricky is a pleasure to work with. Efficient, reliable, and honest. Brought my vehicle in at 8am and it was finished by 2pm.
If youre looking for honest, reliable service, this is absolutely the place to go! My car stays in good shape and Rick and Pete always explain whats going on in a way I can understand.
Very disappointing experience.Upon recommendation of a friend I took my newly purchased used car to their shop on a Thursday.It was explained to me that they were short 2 mechanics and I was asked to bring the car back the following Wed.I agreed and returned the following Wed.I went on a road test with owner Ricky and he figured out that the knocking sound I was hearing was due to the plastic cowl on the sunroof being loose and could be fixed easily.I left the car with him at noon that day with the agreement that that cowl would be fixed, two rear tires and badly worn radiator hose replaced and that he would look the car over carefully.I called the next morning and asked Ricky about what he had found .He replied they hadn’t gotten to my car yetI then clearly stated I planned on going on a road trip over the weekend and wanted to have the car ready by the end of the day on Friday ( seems reasonable, right ...after having waited 6 days to get my car in the garage? )After not hearing anything from him I called back at 3:30 Friday and was told they had completed their assessment of the car and that I definitely needed new belts as well as exhaust system work. Also that the cowl has not been fixed “ because my special mechanic who does those repairs had to take off.”He did not do anything to the car except replace the radiator hose and remove the plastic cowl and throw it in the trunk.Asked why he didn’t put new tires on the back as agreed he said “ I always like to go over the estimate with the customer before I do anything.”THIS is how he treats NEW Customers?!?I paid the 136$ for the safety check and radiator hose replacement and left .... never again
First experience was terrific, they educated me and was honest about what was going on!! Great team
Best car shop ever!!
I have been a customer for over 15 years and I have complete trust in their opinion and their service. A good mechanic is very hard to come by. I would recommend them to anyone.
Reliable and the job was done in a timely fashion!
Only car repair place I ever went to that doesnt rip you off.
Great; very friendly and honest.They explain everything and are very reasonably priced. They even drive you to and from your house and the shop!
This is an excellent repair place and I strongly recommend it to anyone who needs a good auto mechanic.
Reliable and honest
They were really knowledgeable, without making you feel stupid
Great repair center for your car!! Honest, value for your money, and detailed report of work done.
Good service from honest people
I had an issue with my Dodge that was in the internal engine. They were not able to fix it but they went out of their way to find me someone who would and they called to check the warranty with the dealership to see if it was covered. Very friendly and very professional staff!
Local business. Good service, felt confident with recommendations for service, good value.
I love these guys, they do great work and they know more about cars than any other mechanic I have ever been too. I wouldnt take our cars anywhere else!
Knew them since middle school they do great work
Reasonable and perfect service simple💯
Great customer service.
Fast affordable service
Called to make an appointment because of all of the reviews. But they never called back.
Mr. Rick is the best and sweet heart
They wouldnt replace my spark plugs because they wanted to run a full diagnostic on the car see if anything else was wrong and then give a quote. Then they said they wouldnt use the premium plugs I bought from advanced auto because they only used their brand and their brand were the lower quality ones. Will never go back.
Great work and honest, trustworthy staff.
Quality work!
Great & friendly service
Awesome service!
Great guys
