I’ve used them twice, first to get my breaks changed and second to change my battery. Both times they fit me in quickly and got me in and out in a very timely manner. Everyone I came in contact with was very professional. I will absolutely be using them again.

Great, polite guys. Fortunately I just needed a tire plug and nothing major. But they did it quickly. A nice waiting area to watch TV, and spoil the dog if you wish to. Highly recommend. I've had several tires plugged here, great experience all times.

First rate shop. I have 2 generations of family members that trust and rely on MTA Auto Service for repairs, oil changes, inspections, brake jobs, and major mechanical work, just to name a few things. They are professional and very honest. They’ve always taken great care of my in-laws, their kids. And all extended family members. I even referred my Mom. Can’t say more about this shop. It’s no wonder why they’ve been in business so long.

Holbrook MTA is a fair auto service, and by fair I mean they don’t try to sell you something that you don’t need just to bump their bill/sales. MTA is straightforward and they tell you what you need to get your car taken care of and not 1000 other little items that you may need down the road or anything that is unnecessary just so they can pad their bill . Perfect example I took my car for a recall to Hyundai,while I was there I asked them to check my air conditioner because it wasn’t getting cold. They tried to tell me that my compressor was gone and I need to pay over $1000 for a new one. I then took it to MTA who proceeded to fill it with Freon. That’s all it needed was new Freon. It has been fine ever since. Holbrook MTA is a service station that I can trust plain and simple, and in these days and times that says a lot!

This is a family run business that makes you part of the family after your first time there. I have been going to Richie for many years and my mom before me. Richie always treated my mom as I would a true gentleman. The work is always done right and pricing fair. Anthony at the front counter is friendly and knowledgeable. Give these guys a chance to make you happy. Old school ethics is a lost thing in most businesss but not forgotten at MTA.

Came in after I took my car to BMW service department around November. They had told me I needed new breaks and an alignment for over 800 with alignment. I dropped my car off four months later to do this preventative maintenance and they told me my car did not require any of this work, put everything back together and didn t charge me. Happy I found this place and will be going back.

I called Rich at 3pm the other day with a issue with my car. The exhaust was ripped off during transport. We called him and he got it repaired the next day for us. He repaired the exhaust instead of just trying to order new parts to make it easy on him and his employees. He really went out of his way to keep cost down and gain a customer for life. Thanks Rich!

My car was completely crippled, it was un drivable.. if it wasnt stahling out, it couldnt get out of its own way.. I racked my brain trying to figure out the issue myself and it was just Way out of My League..since Ive had the car it has never gotten good gas mileage and anytime I would get on the gas Id detect a funny smell.. Richie has known my family for years and just has the years of experience that you only aquire with time in the business. The staff is very knowledgeable as well .. he pinpointed the issue as well as an unrelated issue and after thinking about it for a little while it made sense to why the car got such poor gas mileage.. they gave me an excellent very honest and fair price.. anytime I use any small business locally if Im treated right I always like to let others know and try and support them.. thanks again MTA

If youve ever needed an honest, reliable mechanic, then MTA is definitely the place to go! Rich has been an absolute staple of this community for years. They are always busy, which is a true sign of the innate trust & reputation that theyve well-earned over the many, many years in business. Unlike many shady mechanics out there, hell never try to upsell you to generate more business. He doesnt need to. Also, his guys are great. I only wish that I would have found him sooner. Hes well worth the extra 10-15 min drive. Love him!

I brought my Mercedes SUV in for a dead battery and A broken passenger seat (Which the battery is Inconveniently located under the passenger seat) and Holbrook MTA literally had it done in under a few hours For a reasonable amount. The owner is super chill and the staff is awesome as well. When I was leaving, I requested a quote for additional minor repairs to my seatbelt, air vent caps and window control Unit..... literally within 5 minutes... I had a text message with the prices. Love this place!!! Definitely my new shop!!!! Thanks Richie and staff!!!!!!

Would give zero stars if I could. Brought my car in on a Friday morning and was told that it would be looked at before the end of the day. Called late in the day and was told theyd have time on Monday. Two weeks went by before I was told that they didnt know what was wrong with it.

Work was satisfactory but when time to pay keys were dropped on counter from guy holding arm high completely disregarding my open hand looking at me. Was very busy atm there but gives no excuse for unfriendly service. For this alone Ill never go back even though is conveniently close to me & a busy place.
