I am another extremely satisfied customer of Moutain Auto Tech! I was very anxious about my potential very costly repair for an old Lexus LX which its AHC (auto hight control) is not functioning. I went through several suspension specialists who stated all leveling sensors need to be replaced which are very expensive. I desperately came to Mountain auto tech to see Chris. Chris precisely diagnosed the problem and found out only one senor needs to be fixed. Additionally, Chris got an OME part from his resource with less than half price compared to the dealer’s quote and made AHC working again! I am so grateful that Chris and his team repaired my LX with a high quality work and very affordable cost!

Chris is awesome, I know next to nothing about cars, but he was patient and kindly let me know what was going on. Great sense of humour, and priced me SO fairly. I brought my car in for a safety certificate and found out my brakes were worn down and tyres weren't up to standard. He quickly fixed my brakes and changed my tires (and patched up a hole) for me for such a great price. Car trouble is frustrating, but I was incredibly grateful for such fast and personable service. My family and I come back from this shop with great experiences every time. I'll definitely return any time I need something and recommend it to anyone! Chris also looks a bit like Walter White, which is awesome.

  • Lucrecia Garcia

Absolutely the best! Cannot say enough about how great Mountain Auto Tech is! Chris and his team are hands down the best auto shop I have ever been to. I went to him with my Benz that wouldn’t start, they spent the time and effort to figure out what the problem was and went above and beyond to ensure it was fixed. Also informing me about all the steps taken and what exactly is causing the Issue. I have always taken my car there since I moved to Stoney Creek two years ago and have never been dissatisfied with the service. Absolutely stellar ! I very highly recommend to everyone to visit Mountain Auto Tech with all your car needs expecially if you have a Mercedes Benz.

  • Maciej Walinski

Chris has the best shop in Hamilton; possibly even Southern Ontario. Literally did my AC for a 1/4 of the cost the dealership quoted me, and it works beautifully. Sent my pal to him who was using a shop nearby; got more work done for $200 less. He showed Chris the origianl quote too, so he could've simply matched it, but that's not how he rolls. I drive in from Etobicoke. It's worth every additional minute spent on the highway. Do yourself a favour next time your car needs a service, take it to Chris and his team at Mountain Auto Tech. You might have to sit through a political discourse or two, but your car, and your wallet, are going to thank you.

  • Charles Hentschel

Had the trailer hitched and was on the way up north for a week of r n r on Friday,Labour day long week end. Hardly pulled out and we heard a loud banging noise coming from the driver's side like someone was banging with a hammer. At 2:30 I called up Mountain Auto Tech. If I would come over right away they would look at it. Found out it was a drivetrain issue, alxe was popping out. They said I should take it to dealers as it probably is covered under warranty. The mechanic took a picture and showed me I could pop it in by hand if i got stuck. This prompt friendly service was definitely appreciated and just thought I'd throw that out there ...

  • George J

Chris is a car doctor. He is an intelligent guy and diagnose problems which others can't identify. He tries repairing stuff and not replace. He is genuine. My Toyota Sienna car had a quite difficult problem (it was not starting in between, not a battery issue) which many other couldn't rectify. The 1st time I showed him, he was not sure if it was sorted out. So he didn't take any fees. The second time around, he fixed it at quite reasonable cost. I introduced my friend and his Volkswagen car also, other repair shops told better not repair & he repaired it. I highly recommend him for any car issues normal garages can't fix.

  • Laleye Tobi

These guys saved me over $7000. BUDD'S BMW Hamilton misdiagnosed my vehicle twice. I was already in the hole $1500 and they wanted me to pay an extra $7000...they were just going to throw parts at the vehicle till something sticks. A friend's neighbor recommended I get a second opinion from Chris' shop. Without wasting time, he knew exactly what to test for and what part to replace. My car was back on the road within 48 hours. Cost me $1400. I'm happy I listened and went to Mountain Auto tech. This level of competence is hard to come by.

  • Cynthia S

Honest, hard working, and kind owner and employees. I just moved into the area and was worried about finding a mechanic. Thanks to the positive reviews posted on google, I went to see these guys. I could see why their rating is so high and the reviews so positive. They took my car in right away. They respected social distancing. They didnt even try to upsell me. They told me what I needed done to my car, advised me, and gave me prices in advance so there were no surprises. They went above and beyond. Thanks for everything guys.

  • Ash McIntyre

I was very VERY upset with the service at this auto shop. The one owner was very nice and gave us a great price. But then when we went back for the actual appointment and encountered the other owner he was extremely rude to us and actually threatened my boyfriend and then he went on to completely disrespect my father which is an elderly gentleman. I was and still am completely shocked at the lack of customer service at this shop. I would rather pay $200 MORE and get good service and be treated like a human being.

  • Victoria V

Chris got my business because he took a lot of time to explain what was wrong with my car during the diagnostic - that he did not charge me for. He cared that I understood regardless of if I serviced my car with him. He then did an excellent job at repairing my 2009 Pontiac Vibe. I drive a Pontiac because I do not want to put a lot of money into a car. He understood to make the car safe to drive on a small budget and gave me back a car that drives like new. He is a guy you can trust.

  • Tony DiTommaso

Top notch auto repair. I know cars and I do a lot of work on my own vehicles but when I don't have the equipment I only trust Mountain Auto Tech for service. After dealing with franchise shops that try to pad the bill by attempting to charge for unnecessary service, it's comforting to have a repair shop I can trust.Chris is like a breath of fresh air in the auto repair industry. It's rare to find a shop like this that actually does "Repairs" instead of simply replacing parts.

  • Greg K

After 35 years of car ownership and dealing with mechanics I can actually say Chris is the first mechanic I completely trust. Chris and his team are completely honest and transparent. Top quality work. I would never go anywhere else unless I had a warranty from a dealer. He actually came to my house when I was having a big problem with my truck. How many mechanics have you ever heard doing that? Great guy and top quality mechanic. Thanks for everything Chris.

  • Erin Dashney

I can’t give enough praise for Chris at Mountain Auto Tech. As a medical professional, I know very little about cars. I told Chris that I felt taken advantage of by other mechanics. He actually took the time to show me how much the parts and labour for a previous repair should have cost. It confirmed that I was way overcharged by my previous mechanic. When my car ultimately died, Chris handled the sale for parts for me. He always goes above and beyond!

  • Stephanie Assenza

Chris at Mountain Auto Tech is such a great guy! If you're ever having car troubles or need new tires, he is the guy to go to! He is super busy, but please consider giving him your business regardless because he really deserves it! He really made my day today. He is an honest and hardworking business owner, who is also incredibly knowledgeable. He us a real treasure to Hamilton and the surrounding area!

  • Rebecca S

I had a really great first experience at this shop. Chris and his team were excellent at diagnosing and fixing the brake issue with my car. Previously, I had only been going to the Kia dealership but was having issues so I am very glad that I decided to take my 2015 Kia Soul in here. Great prices, great explanation of the issue, and I will definitely be coming back here from now on. Thank you !!

  • George Voelk

Took my pickup to Moutain Auto Tech after calling first. On the phone Chris took the time to explain best practices for my vehicle. Truck was taken in at agreed upon time and completed while I waited. Chris does not try to upsell and is very informative. Best experience, this was my first time there and will now be using them exclusively. Great price, honest and informative

  • edit by cata

I highly recommend Mountain Auto Tech! I always trust them to help me with my car. Whenever my Forester has issues, I know I can rely on Chris and his team to get it fixed. 100% Professional, reliable, knowledgeable, efficient, affordable auto shop. I feel safe on the road knowing that my car is being looked after by Mountain Auto Tech.

  • andre bestman

Long story short, in the fall I did not tighten the clamps before and after the mass airflow sensor. The code for misfire cylinder 1 meant to me a coil pack and intake gasket. Mountain Auto Tech fixed the problem cleared the codes and would not take a penny! These guys are what you should look for! Honest mechanics with NO bull!

  • A

Absolutely love this place! Chris is an amazing guy!! I had some problems with my Mini Cooper and Chris took it and made it brand new. Worked on it for 3 days to make sure everything was running properly and smoothly. You have gained my business! Thank you for the amazing job and amazing price that came with it! 100% recommend.

  • Pulari Nair

The place is absolutely the best! My husband went their to fix the bottom plate on his Mazda 3 and they fixed it with for no cost. It was a walk in. He has the most reasonable rates we found it for oil change and tire change. The place is cheaper than Costco. We recommend this place to everyone. Thanks for the wonderful job!!

  • G Sci

This place is fantastic! I moved here from Ohio and was worried about finding a good, honest mechanic because I put a lot of miles on my Honda Odyssey. They’ve now worked on two of my Odysseys and have been excellent. Very professional, great service, great work and very reasonable prices. I can’t recommend them enough.

  • crito durastanti

wow.. was impressed with the knowledge and expediency of this shop... made my choices of tires for my F150 so simple.. had front end work done as well and couldn't be more pleased.. respectable and honest work.. to the point.... I have and recommend this shop for all your tire need and machincal items.. well done......

  • Parshin Missaghi

I will only trust our Mercedes to Chris and his team at Mountain Auto Tech. When you bring your vehicle to this shop, you can rest assured that you will be given an honest, expert opinion. You won't be sold anything you don't need and you can be sure that the work will be done right. I highly recommend this shop!

  • Baris Alkis

I recently had brake work done on my Mercedes at this mechanic shop, and I couldn't be happier. Chris and his team provided excellent service with premium parts at a great price. The professionalism and attention to detail were top-notch. I've found my new mechanic shop and highly recommend it!! Thank you Chris.

  • Kieth Fischer

Thank you for ĺoking after me in my time of need. I'm new to hamilton from Waterloo and looking for a good mechanic. Mountain Auto Tech was recommended and I'm happy you fixed my Corolla. Really appreciate you looking after me. I will be a new customer for life. If you're looking for a mechanic look no further.

  • Eric Gradwell

By far the best mechanic I have ever been to. Not only is Chris and his team knowledgeable, and professional, they also strive to do absolutely amazing work that matches a fair price. If you need a mechanic I highly suggest going over to Mountain Auto Tech for all your inquiries. Thank you so very much. Eric

  • Petey P

I am now a regular customer, I actually trust a Garage!! I recommend Mountain Auto Tech to everyone. I've never heard a raised voice there. Cars break , and sometimes repairs cost more than you want, but that's not the mechanics fault. They do good work, good prices, and you won't get ripped off.

  • Gina Del Fabbro

We had such a great experience with Mountain Auto Tech! Took our VW in since the transmission was having some issues. They did everything they could to diagnose the problem and walked us through exactly what was going on. Super honest, knowledgeable, and trustworthy - we will certainly be back!

  • Mary Griffiths

I just wrote a great review and lost it. So here is the short version. TRUSTWORTHY FAIR GREAT EXPLANATIONS NO EXTRA MONEY SPENT FEEL COMPLETELY COMFORTABLE THAT I WON'T BE RIPPED OFF LIKE SO MANY PLACES DO.. IM TREATED WITH RESPECT. THANK YOU CHRIS! See you soon! I'm getting another car!

  • Rhy L

I took my car in for a couple of issues after seeing so many great reviews and I am so happy I did. The price was fair and they took the time to actually explain what they did and what was wrong. They really put my mind at ease. I won't go anywhere else for any future issues/ repairs!

  • Bart Jedrocha

I recently moved to Stoney Creek and needed to find a solid mechanic who I can trust. I was recommended Mountain Autotech and so far these guys have been amazing. They're friendly, well-priced, and their work speaks for itself. This is now my go-to repair shop, would highly recommend.

  • Casey Danton

Had some rattling sounds in my 2013 Corolla. They were able to see me the same day. Dropped off my car, had it assessed, and repaired within 2 hours. Staff was pleasant and efficient. I will be returning in a few weeks to have my snow tires removed. I have found my new go-to guys :)

  • Sean Hatchette

My mini was towed to Mini Oakville Dealership where I was told the car required an engine. Had the car towed to Mountain Auto Tech for a second opinion as it seemed unlikely. Car was repaired for $1000, no damage to the engine. They saved our vehicle! Can't thank them enough!

  • Dawne Woodland

Excellent service! Chris really takes the time to figure out exactly what the problem is, and the most cost effective way to repair it. Straight up and honest. It's hard to find a good, honest repair shop, and this is it!! Will definitely be back for all my repairs!

  • Ilshad Moiden

Went there to have my vehicle checked for a noise. Chris was very welcoming and friendly. He got the issue fixed and didn’t charge me a dime since he said it was a minor issue. Wow, this is pure honesty and great customer service. I got my go to mechanic now.

  • Ryan Haynes

Asked for a simple quote on a transmission flush and fill. was grilled as to why I wanted it. Then was acussed of putting oil in the transmission. Buddy, when someone asks you for a price on regular maintenance, just give them the price. Will never return.

  • Amar Roopah

I wished I could give more than 5 stars. Fantastic service, affordable and the owner is really down to earth. There is not much else to say other than they are now my go to place to having my cars serviced. Thanks again guys and keep up the good work!!

  • K. Anderson

Mechanics can be hit or miss, especially with a Fiat. I've been to this shop twice now and can say that I've received solid work that's well priced each time. Chris has been honest with me and is very accommodating. Thanks for helping me out today.

  • Peter Geci

Had my suspension fixed here and got a set of new tires, the knowledge of Chris is amazing, the team provided an excellent work. In comparison to Canadian tire for a third of their price. Final price was exactly what was quoted. Great Job

  • rhodora dorado

I have had the most amazing experience with Mountain Auto Tech. I saved $3000 bringing my car in for parts replacement. Chris explained the diagnostic result and why these parts were being replaced. He charged WAY LESS than other repair
