Excellent and fast service for emissions test.

Matt's has been my mechanic for years. The best foreign car mechanic in the milwaukee area. It's cheaper than dealers and fixed right the first time.

Matt's is great - Dennis and Bill are great guys and I'm sure the rest of the team is too. They've looked after my Jaguar XJ with a lot of care and no BS.

Matt’s is the absolute best! Their service is prompt and friendly and their diagnostics are spot on saving you time & money. Wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Highly recommend- got me in quickly when my engine light was on, and fixed my car's issues quickly and at a fair price. Also completed my emissions test without any wait.

I won't go anywhere else! These guys fixed my BMW beautifully! I had issues with my timing belt, they fixed the problems and my car has been running beautifully ever since. Dennis went above and beyond for me. The customer service is excellent!

Dennis was fantastic. I’ve been having nothing but issues with my VW and was given a ridiculous price for repairs at the dealership. We found Matt’s and they were able to get me in and explained what needed to be fixed at about a quarter of the price. Will definitely be back, thank you guys again!!!!

Emissions test quick and easy

Excellent care and customer service. Plan in advance for any work you need as they do book out but that's par for the course everywhere these days. Worth the wait!

Expensive and customer service
Feb 06, 2024
First time taking my car to Matt's. They diagnosed the problem (bad wheel bearings) that another garage had missed, got the parts and I was on my way in a timely fashion! Not the cheapest in Milwaukee but not the most expensive either... and certainly cheaper than the dealership!

I bought a used Audi A4 less than a year ago and found out the hard way over the first few months of ownership that there was some service history missing from the carfax. I started experiencing issues and took the car back to the place I purchased it from. Once they realized they had to pay for these issues per our "30 day satisfaction agreement", they put a minor "bandaid" on my car to get me through the next few months so they would be off the hook for the problematic car they sold me. This is when I looked into foreign car specialists and found Matt's... and man, I'm glad I did. Matt's found EVERY issue with my car, and didn't just take care of it, but informed me that it looks like someone replaced the engine on this car and did a very bad job. They said it was a good thing I came in because there were lots of bolts missing in my engine bracket that would've eventually led to much worse problems (they replaced all the missing parts for me) ... Thank you to everyone at Matt's you all were very helpful and informative. I will be servicing all of my cars at Matt's and suggest my friends and family do the same!

I'm from IL and my daughter lives in Milwaukee. Had car trouble in Milwaukee and had my Volvo towed to Matt's, even though they had weeks of work scheduled, they listen to my problem and took my car in. They found hard to get parts , fixed things instead of just replacing parts and did it all for a really fair price. We will be using this place again. Great mechanics and a honest team.

Matt's does great work and are both reasonable and personable.

Matt's is amazing. I've been utilizing their services for several years and I have never been disappointed. I kissed the dealership goodbye a long time ago. Matt's services are phenomenal.

Great customer service. If you want your import fixed right the first time, this is the place. I can't recommend this place enough.

I am so pleased with the quote and services provided by Matt's. I own a Volvo XC 60 2016. I love my car and always wanted a VOLVO, so I take a great care of my vehicle, never missing mileage service and am always hesitant to take it anywhere, but the Volvo dealship, as it is fair to say I have trust issues. However when I discovered no heat was blowing into my car and took it to Volvo Waukesha dealer, after running diagnostics ($200), they told me the HVAC Blower Motor needs replacement and quoted me close to $3K. At this point I knew i had to get another opinion. I called Matt's (google search with great reviews) and explained the issue. They immediately quoted me a little more than half of what Volvo wanted, so I decided to go with them. The day I took my car to Matt's, Dennis said he wanted to look at it first as he was doubting the HVAC Blower Motor was gone. Later the same day I got a call from Dennis who told me it was my lucky day, as they only need to replace a resistor, which was going to cost me a little over $500 and the HVAC Blower Motor was working just fine. It was such a relief to hear, and the best part, my car was ready for pick up the next day! I just discovered my go-to car shop for life! Can't say "Thank you" enough to Matt's entire team!

In and out for testing. Their machine wasn't connecting, but they were efficient and customer service oriented.

Matt's auto shop has been servicing my vehicles for over twenty-five years. I think that says it all!

Matt’s is by far the best place in town to get your foreign car fixed. Dennis is a great at explaining what is wrong and what needs to be fixed. They do not waste your time and your money - like the dealers. I have taken everyone of my cars there. They took care of my sons Honda CRV air conditioning at a half the price of the dealer. The mechanics at Matt’s are the best around they do not guess like at the dealerships mechanics.

Nice & helpful staff. Super quick emissions test and got my stickers right away too. Didn’t charge an extra fee either! Clean & nice auto shop!
