Ray was great - thoroughly explained the work needed, completed it quickly, showed me the parts afterwards and did it all for a fair price. I'll be taking my vehicles to Castle from now on!

Fixed my problem and was honest and upfront about it

Great place. We bring our vehicles here and have never had an issue. Vey through. Takes his time to diagnose the problem. Definitely would recommend to anyone.

I had a VERY BAD experience at this business. My vehicle was damaged while at this shop and instead of being truthful about it, I had to confront the owner about it. He agreed to fix the damage that occurred while my vehicle was in his care but refused to admit fault. Honesty and integrity should be a priority. He also overcharged for the service performed and marked up the cost of the parts. I feel taken advantage of.

I highly recommend Castle Motors for all of your vehicle repairs and servicing. Ray, the owner, will diagnose your vehicle and discuss any issues. I have always found him to be honest and knowledgeable, professionalism at its best. Ray has been servicing both of my cars for the last 10 years. A garage with integrity. I wouldn't bring my cars to any other shop. Thank you Ray!

Honest guy. Doesn’t want you to spend money you don’t have to.


Feb 06, 2019

Ray was incredibly kind and helpful as he sold me my first car. He took the time to go through each step and all the paperwork with me and it's an amazing car for the price. I know I can trust him with my car and I'm very excited to be on the road!


Feb 06, 2019

Ray was very helpful in assisting us whether or not to fix our older car we had brought in. Small shop I liked that it wasn't just all about the money.

The experience was great, they helped me through the whole process even calling me multiple times to update me. They were really nice and didnt try to sell me to fix more than I had asked. They got my car in the same day I called and fixed it super fast. Would recommend

This was by far the best place I have ever brought my car. I have had many problems with my car recently and all of the mechanics I went to couldn't find a reason why it was acting up, as soon as I brought it to Castle and Sons the owner talked me through what the problems could be (he was talking about things the other mechanics had never even thought of). Later the same day I was called and told what the precise problem was and what they needed to do to fix it. If you are looking for a trustworthy mechanic who actually knows what he is doing definitely bring you car here!

Ray Clavette is a throwback to a simpler time when a mechanic was a trusted friend: After years of going to places like Jiffy Lube, Sears, and Midas, I went to Castle Motors for a major repair to my Ford Fusion. My friend recommended Ray and after a smooth, affordable and even educational process, Ray and his team got my car back on the road--and operating even better than before. I highly recommend Castle Motors.
