I have bought 3 rebuild cars from Magic Auto Inc in the past. My first one in 2005, my second one in 2008, and my current one in 2012. The cars were great value and were maintained at this shop since day one. I blew my engine (my fault) on my first car and replaced it there saved hundreds, no problems on my second and third car, regular oil changes and brakes and maintenance done at the shop. I ended up selling my first 2 cars and making a profit on them after driving them for 2-3 years. Dimo (the owner) is the most honest man and will never screw you. I had problems with a newer car that I had purchased from the dealer and took it to the dealer, the dealer told me my turbo lines were leaking and it would cost me over a grand to fix. I took it to Dimo and all he fixed was an oil ring on the turbo cost $50. Overall great place to maintain your car, their body shop is also very great as all 3 of my cars from there have been rebuilt there. Great place for all your body and auto needs.

I drive BMW 335i and took the car in for an alignment and the experience and service was outstanding! The owner was watching like a hawk over the tech who worked on my car. They guy really took his time and was extremely carefully doing my out of spec alignment. He actually did it twice (charged only the regular rate), one for daily driver and second one for track and marked my adjustable camber plates and strut bar so I will have easier time adjusting front camber myself. Additionally, they check the tire pressure before they started with the alignment and reset the angle position sensor afterwards. Im associated with FireStone and have shop account with them. We take few cars for alignments every week. They are not this meticulous. Same with other shops I have used which make Magic Auto really stand out. The car drives and rides very true and straight now. No shakes and pulling to a side.

You work downtown, so you have no time to shop around? But you need to save $$$, right? Let Magic Auto Do Their Magic ! Bring your car to Magic and leave it there, no appointment needed (well, perhaps it is recommended for bigger jobs :). Better still, bring your car & Autozone parts to Magic. Then, get a complimentary ride to the train station ...both ways! Anyways, they will give you a very reasonable estimate and when you get your car back fixed....Surprise, surprise!...In most cases, you will pay a little bit less than you expected...that is how good they are in their estimates and workmanship. (Please compare this experience to the typical "stealership" surprises you consistently get !) I call this Customer & Quality Focus! The only auto mechanics I can trust! Sounds Oxymoronic? Find out for yourself and save a bundle!

10+ years of service and Ive never been disappointed. Dimo is the most honest and professional person Ive met and hes always provided me with the most affordable service! Ive been recommending Magic Auto to everybody I know! My girlfriend went to another mechanic with transmission issues and the mechanic suggested that she should replace the transmission, so I told her to go and consult Dimo before she spends a ton of money. Dimo inspected her car and found out that the only problem was the low transmission fluid. He topped off the fluid and saved us a couple of thousand dollars! He will never BS you on whats the problem and always provides the most reasonable price. Ive NEVER haggled for a lower price there because I know Im getting the best service!

Cecily, a girl who works here is a theif and a drug addict. Her and her husband plot to steal anything drug related from anyone including the cars she works on. I wouldnt trust a deceitful person like this near my belongings much less my expensive ones. Long story short if you get your vehicles worked on here then dont ever leave anything important in them, also make sure its not going to be any major repair because the person most likely working on it will be on a heavy amount of drugs.

Magic Auto is the place where you gonna get fair priced estimate , labor cost and good mechanics .Used their service couple of times already and from personal experience can say that just the last time I was there ,they saved me over $1500 ,fixing my car for the real price ,instead the price given me by another shop that stated $1700 in repairs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(IT WAS NOT A DEALERSHIP ,BELIEVE ME !!!!!! )HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Excellent Service!! I had to have major repairs done on my Audi, and Magic Auto easily gave me the best price. Not only was all of the customer service beyond exceptional, but I actually got my car back earlier than was expected. After my first experience at Magic Auto i know I will definitely be going back many a times in the future. Without a doubt I would recommend Magic Auto to my friends and family!!

I highly recommend the place. You know how stressful it is for a woman to deal with car repairs. Magic auto, makes it absolutely painless. You can drop off your car in the morning, if you need a loaner you can rent one. By early afternoon your problem is solved at a very fair price too. These guys are competent and reliable. I wouldnt go anywhere else.

For someone like me, who works successfully on all my vehicles i ve had repairs done on several occasions. Every time is on time, properly done so i am happy of doing it once, price was better than the 3 other shops in the area with good reviews. I DO RECOMMEND this shop

Unless Im driving a new vehicle with maintenance coverage, I always bring my vehicles to Dimo at Magic Auto. He is top notch, quick to help, reasonably priced, and friendly to boot. A trustworthy mechanic is golden. I recommend him and his shop without hesitation.

Always given fast and expert service. I went in for an oil change and simply mentioned an issue with the stopper on my door being broken. Upon entering the car after the service I had found that it was fixed, all free of charge.

These guys were very professional and honest. They just changed a light bulb for me, but I know other places that mess with you even for just small stuff. Its refreshing to find a place honest and fast... Thanks Magic!

The owner (Dimo) is very professional and honest person who cares about customers vehicles problems. He explanes everything and tries to save you money. A man of his word. Thank you

Professional auto mechanic scam artists. All I hear is bad things about them, tried them myself and regretted it. Dimo isnt trustworthy. Take your business elsewhere.
