Toup’s Auto Repair

Jose the mexican… Honest, knowledgeable and humble. I started bringing my cars over to him cuz he was referred by a friend. He diagnosed the misfired that my car had. Something that the dealer quoted me just for diagnose it couple of hundreds bucks. He did it for way less than d dealer.

I whole-​heartedly agree with the previous review. His love for his job shines through in his work. He gives advice at no expense to himself and does not hesitate to tell you if a repair isn’t urgent. His prices are extremely reasonable compared to other mechanics and his work is top-​notch. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

Absolutely the BEST auto repair place I have ever been to in my life. Matt Toup, the mechanic, is an incredibly honest, straightforward, and nice guy. He is just one of those people you meet who you can immediately tell knows his stuff thoroughly, and will never ever rip you off.
My first experience was when I needed my brakes and rotors replaced. The dealer quoted me $ 600 for rear brakes and rotors. On top of that, they told me my front brakes were in dire need of replacement as well … another $ 400. I found Matt Toup on Google Maps, and called him up. He quoted me *hundreds* less, told me exactly how much the parts & labor were individually, and got me factory parts when I asked for them. On top of that, he looked at my front brakes and very honestly told me, «you have about 3000 more miles on them, come back then or when you hear the indicator.» On top of that, I have a very difficult work schedule, so he worked late to get my brakes done while I waited!
Since then, I have had nothing but great experiences with Matt. I trust him so much that when my wife had trouble with her care in another state, I had her call him for advice … and he freely gave advice without expecting her to come to him for service (although of course, once we knew it was safe for her to drive here, we brought her car to him as well). His quote was again significantly lower than her local mechanic’s quote, even though he too was well-​established as a relatively honest mechanic that all her colleagues used.
Since I started using Matt as my mechanic, I have also gotten to know him superficially outside of the shop, playing ice hockey with him. I mention this because it’s clear from the way he interacts with people outside of work that he’s a solid guy. People frequently ask him for auto advice in the locker room, which he freely gives — even if it’s to tell them they don’t need work done yet, or need another specialist. On the ice, he shows great sportsmanship — and is a pretty solid player too :-)
I can’t say enough about Matt, so I’ll stop here. I hope that people read this review and latch onto an incredibly rare resource — a solid, competent, and honest mechanic.
