Metric Motors

Inconsistent service. Like someone else said, a lot of things I had to have redone after they had been «fixed» here.
This is literally the closest mechanic to my house and when my alternator died I just brought it here. They «replaced it» and it literally did the same thing– aka it had never been replaced.
Basically long story short, just go somewhere else. Unless you need something really simple like, your wiper blades changed and you can’t do it yourself.

I just moved to the area and was looking for a good trust worthy mechanic shop. Well I don’t have to look any further. Family owned, honest, upfront. Don’t try to rip you off for things that are unnecessary! I’ll drive the 30 minutes here just so I can have peace of mind! Great work!

Wish they were better.
I used to go there years ago and received inconsistent service. A lot of repairs that were done I had to come back and get fixed over and over again. I was young, so I don’t know if it was me or them?
It’s been over 10 years since I went there and I figured I would try again. They are so close to me and I pass it everyday.
I went for an oil change and I was completely out of washer fluid. When I was driving home I noticed I was still out, had to drive back and get it filled.
I went back a few months later for an inspection, figured the windshield washer was an honest mistake. I was having a problem with my passenger headlight. It was really foggy and was only producing a dim light. Not enough to drive at night. I asked them to take a look and see if they could fix it. They said it was fine. It really wasn’t fine. I had it replaced by someone else.
The people there are always nice and you always see one of the owners. They waiting room is nice, but sadly, I still don’t feel confident going there. If they missed something as simple as washer fluid and a headlight, what else are they missing?
2 stars — One for location. One for being nice and friendly.

Metric Motors is one of the few trusted places we like to bring our car to. They only lost a star because of hours. Closing at 2 o’clock on a Saturday, not opening at all on Sunday makes things really difficult to get work done here but when it comes to a big job we have no choice but to rent a 3^rd vehicle to go back & forth to work. I would rather know things are gonna get done right the first time then having to worry. The car drop off is really convenient they have envelopes to write the info of what needs to be repaired, drop your keys inside and then slide into the drop box. Prices aren’t outrageous instead reasonable and we leave knowing 1 our car is truly fixed and 2 our wallets weren’t raped.

On the off chance that I don’t go to Metric Motors for an oil change or any other kind of service, I instantly regret my decision. The combination of quality service for a fantastic price makes Metric Motors the best place to take your car in Putnam County or southern Dutchess. I’ve probably never waited for more than hour, and I’ve never had a worker approach me about a «fantastic, can’t miss deal» going on or suggest that I do something small yet pricey to my car. We always get coupons in the mail for some sort of service (although it’s always ridiculously cheap anyways) and I always walk out feeling confident that my car was in good hands, not the mention that staff is really efficient and always friendly. Clean, spacious waiting area, too.

I’ve been bringing my car here for about 5 years. The place used to be 10 minutes closer for me, but I’ve moved, and even since then — I still make the drive to go to this place (and cross a bridge). I think these guys are very trustworthy. They are the best mechanic’s I’ve ever had to deal with — they don’t seem to find «something wrong» every time I go in there like other mechanics seemed to… always jackin up the bill. They are the CHEAPEST oil change you will probably find anywhere (about 18 bucks… and with monthly newsletter coupons it comes to about 12 bucks!) The staff is always friendly. The waiting area is nice & much better than I’ve experienced at other places. There is also a TV & magazines to read. The bathroom is usually clean & has a «woman’s touch»…a shelf with mints, lotions, tissues, and anything at all you might need. There is a nice waiting area outside, too where I like to sit while I wait with nice gardens/​flowers. They have a play area for kids too.
