Skelleys Garage

Marcelino is a honest man. I came in with a power steering leak and he told me it might be the power steering pump, he advised me to go get a pump from AutoZone. Quoted me 375 for the labor, Come to find out, it was not the pump and it was a hose that needed replacing. A non honest mechanic would've still replaced the pump and charged me the higher price, but Marcelino didn't. I left paying way less than I was originally quoted. He told me I didn't find just a mechanic, I found a friend and I truly believe I did.

I always take my Sequoia and my F150 toSkelly's. Marcelino and those guys they always figure it out. I have a safe truck again, a new transmission runs like new.

I suspect Marcelino and his team are burnout, the shop is a complete mess, tools, trash is everywhere. The repairs are poorly done and extra expensive, diagnostics is non existent so you can imagine the results. Unfortunately this use to be a great place to have auto repair but after COVID it has not been the same. I'm forced to buy a new car to avoid places like this. If you think Marcelino is over charging you, you are not alone. Good luck

Never again, this place rips you off and does a terrible job, if you do not pressure Marcelino your car gets move to the side and forgotten. Please avoid this place. Also here you don’t get a initial quote until the end which will shock you!

Had a small fix. Told me to buy the part and they would desk out in for $200. I went in to pick up the car and he ended up charging $100 more. Usually a mechanic will call you and ask/warn you that it's going to be more expensive. This guy didn't. Was very friendly but I can't do business with them again. Felt ripped off.

If you need an honest & good natured mechanic, look no further. I will definitely come to Skelley's again if I have car trouble!

Kind and honest! I needed an emergent tire repair so they saw me right away. Every single person I interacted with was incredibly lovely. The prices are reasonable and the service was expeditiously thorough. I will continue to come to Skelleys for any of my car concerns. Shout out to Junior and the crew for all their help.

Marcellino and his team are such hard workers and the most honest mechanics around. As a female I feel like people are constantly up charging me. I trust Marcellino with all of my family’s vehicles and I even moved away from the neighborhood but keep using him. Highly recommend!

Pleased with service and price was skeptical at beginning using new mechanic but turned out great, mechanic gave me options for me to get the part so I can get extended warranty on alternator and save money which I did.

This relationship started great, but after this last time I will not return. I took my car in for an oil leak, got it back quick and cheap which maybe should have been a sign. I found out it was still leaking a few days later. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and brought it back. This second time I did tell them it wasn’t a rush. But, after a month of them having it there was no progress and it hadn’t even been moved from the spot they first parked it when I dropped it off. I told him I needed the car in a few weeks. I followed up 1-2 times a week for the next 2 weeks and every time I was told “it’ll be done at the end of the week.” Finally, after getting in a fight with them about how I actually need my car at some point and a full 6+ weeks after I dropped it off, and $1500 (between the 2 times) I get my car back. 2 days later I notice both oil and coolant on the ground as well as underside of the car. I’m told first “it does that sometimes after you first fix it”, then when I press, I’m told they spilled both fluids while topping them off and that it’s residual fluids. So after being given the run around and proof that they are unable to fix the issue, I’m supposed to believe it’s fixed this time and that’s just a spill. Moral of the story here, I wouldn’t trust this place and I sure wouldn’t bring my car there. I thought it was going to be great and I lost 2 months and $1500 (between both times) and still have to bring it to another shop to actually get fixed.

Very fast, very friendly and a very fair price. What more can you ask for.

A Friend Referred Me To Skelley's Garage I Talked To Marcelino Garcia Automotive Specialist, Professional Service To Detail, Very Caring And Pleasant, I've Been Talking My SUV For 5 Years Always Satisfied. Just Went Today And Had My Power Steering Hose Replaced 👍👍👍👍👍

Feb 07, 2021

Absolutely love this place. Honest, good work at a fair price. You won't do better anywhere else. They're concerned their reputation; what a concept in today's world.

Feb 07, 2021

Friendly, affordable, thorough, and quick service. I've had them fix several things on my '08 Mazda, very satisfied with their work.

Feb 07, 2021

I wish I could give this place more stars. I am happy I found a reliable and honest mechanic close to home. The customer service to the efficiency of the work completed were outstanding. All of this for a great price.

It seems the shop offers more than just automotive services. They first botched a shock absorber job and overcharged. Then, after asking for a partial refund, the owner Marcelino Garcia offered to stick his finger in my rear with a vulgar hand motion to indicate how that service would be performed. Don't trust your car to this shop and find your pleasure elsewhere.
