Received a quote from this auto repair shop to replace spark plugs on my 2006 Subaru Tribeca B9 which is a complex job to replace the plugs, The shop quoted me 3 hrs labor to complete the work and i provided the spark plugs. When I arrived to pick up the car, i was advised that it took a little less than 3 hours, charging me less and without asking, left my old plugs in the car for me to see! I was really impressed with the honesty of this repair shop and their attention to servicing the customer. While paying the bill, i asked MC to look into providing a temporary spare tire for my SUV. They researched it and came back advising me that the cost of a spare was very expensive and had I considered a used spare from a salvage yard? I had investigated this but with no luck, MC contacted their network and came up with a spare at fraction of the price. I was concerned with the quality of a used tire and wheel, and they indicated they would get the spare and if I didn't like it, no worries. I have been truly blown away with this repair shop who was referred to me by an acquaintance who had a similar experience. Honesty and integrity is a hard thing to find in the auto repair shop world with many shops extracting every penny from unnecessary work or overcharging. I plan to take all my automobiles for servicing to M.C. Auto who have earned my business.

Mark Calzia is the owner and main mechanic at this shop. He is the best mechanic in the Quad Cities. In fact, he recently won the award for the Snap-on best mechanic in the country. What makes him even more valuable than that is that he is honest. He does a thorough job, and a professional job on all the cars, but he doesn't recommend work that isn't needed, and he doesn't cut corners on the work he does. If he says it needs to be fixed, it really does. If he says it can wait, it really can. You can believe him, and trust him. We have used Mark as our mechanic for over 20 years. He has fixed all our vehicles and kept them in good working order. He is busy because he is so good. If your car is going to need work, I recommend you call ahead and see when he can schedule it in, because he has people waiting to get in to him. His shop is clean and comfortable. There is no coarse language or rudeness you sometimes see in other auto shops. His staff is all very polite and accommodating.

Very professional. Provided a thorough analysis of what needed to be done. Completely serviced brakes. The brakes work excellent after completion with no problems afterwards. Service provider did not track any dirt into car. They always do great work !!

Excellent, service performed on time and professionally done

I had a problem with vibration at high speeds. They got me in the next day and fixed the problem. They also informed me of another problem but determined it was not a safety issue and could be fixed later if it became a problem.

He will save you money, if you don't need something he'll tell you. He has worked out payments with me in the past when I had a big bill. He is a great guy. I can't recommend him him enough. He always runs a real clean shop.
