McLaughlin’s Auto Service

My old school Pops who did most of his own repairs on our hoopty mobiles taught me at an early age to never trust an auto mechanic. They’re all snake oil charlatans who are out to get your money by making you get repairs/​replacements of things that are completely unnecessary. Especially those mystery sensors that trip the check engine light 2 weeks before your damn inspection.
McLaughlin’s was no exception to this rule when I begrudgingly took my car in for a control arm repair on my old 04 Civic. They were the best price out of 5 – 6 shops. Then came the need for some motor mounts for my «nice car», our 05 Altima. Then one of the guys helped me with my little tractor tire that came off it’s wheel.
With each experience, I went from singing the woes of Adele to the cheerful praises Colbie Caillat in my bipolar relationship with auto mechanics. No really though, these guys are straight forward, not overpriced, transparent, and trustworthy. I highly recommend, especially if you have older rides like me.

McLaughlin’s offers a wide range of maintenance and repair services for cars and trucks. Its services include oil changes, emissions tests and inspections.
I have been going to McLaughlin’s for almost 8 years now. Most of my experience with them is for vehicle inspection and oil changes. They have never over charged me or told me that I need something replaced that I wasn’t already expecting. I know there are some places out there that make stuff up just to get money out of you, but McLaughlin’s hasn’t done that to me. Most times my vehcicles pass inspection without needing anything. They are very prompt and don’t keep the vehicle for longer than necessary and they always call to review their findings before doing any work.
