MD Automotive

My car needed an oil change and I needed to find a new mechanic so I went on Unilocal and found this place. I called at 10:15am and was able to get my car in at 11:30am. I spoke with Mark who was very nice, thorough about my car, and didn’t try to up-​sell on any parts or services. And my car was done within half an hour! I believe I just found my new mechanic!
Only as an FYI: The only service they don’t provide is tire replacement.

Convenient location near the court house, quick and friendly service. Fair price. What else can you ask for. Definitely recommend.

Found MD Automotive looking for a Dyno test for my Porsche, but ended up needing some repair work on my Nissan Frontier. Mark was great. No pressure. He pointed out some future potential issues and repaired the current problems at a reasonable price. I’ll be back for repair work I can’t do myself.

It is pretty difficult these days to find a mechanic that you not only trust but is competent. I went here to have a new car checked out and not only was Mark exceptionally nice but he walked me around the car the whole time as we talked about the areas of concern that might be with the car. After that he hooked it up to the computer and went through every system to make sure there were no error codes or anything wrong. I thought it was a great thorough job, and I was shocked to find out when I went to pay that he was comping the whole thing. I wish I lived in this area as I would be a loyal customer but I will definitely spread the word.

Mark treat me right! He is honest, fair and very reasonable! I brought my daughters Honda CRV in for a head gasket, timing belt, and water pump. He did a fantastic job!!! The car runs fantastic!

Mark has been taking care of all my Hondas… and all my referred friend’s Hondas/​Acuras. He is the most knowledgeable and trustworthy mechanic I know! Becauae of him, I lean towards Honda/​Acura vehicles to own.

I’ve been to several automotive places and have been robbed due to low knowledge on cars. Coming here it brought back faith as the gentlemen I delt with was very knowledgable and quick. His pricing is responsible and he is quick! I WILL return here as I am very satisfied with what I received. Finally I can go somewhere without getting ripped off. I had my car towed in and it didn’t want to start. He had it up and going within 30 mins. Thank you :)

We were referred to MD Automotive by a fellow Automotive Industry Friend. We brought my Miata in because another shop had done some repairs and caused total failure to my motor. I needed someone i could trust to do the job right and so grateful i was referred to Mark DiBella at MD Automotive.
Mark is patient, understanding, and knows his stuff! I had the new motor delivered to his shop and Mark went through both motors completely, using the best parts from both motors, and brought my Miata back to life!
Thanks again Mark! We will definitely be back with all our Miata needs!

I see all these awesome reviews, but wonder how they even got in to see this mechanic. I went there on a Friday at a little before 4:30 after finding out they were open til 5. At least they were supposed to be. Everything was already locked up, which was irritating because according to their hours they were supposed to still be open. My dad tried calling for me to get a time to come in and still no return call.
This whole thing has made me not even want to bother trying to go there anymore even though the location is convenient. Absolutely ridiculous.

This is a great shop because of the owner Mark DiBella. I went there for a baseline dyno for my MK6 GTI and now that I’ve upgraded the turbo and clutch, I’ll be going back to re-​dyno and measure the gains. Super nice guy to deal with, and a real pro.

I found out about them on Unilocal and was not disappointed.
I called in at 7:20am on a Saturday morning and explained to Mike that my check engine light was on. He had me come in at 8 and was there waiting as I pulled in.
After some tests, he cleaned the sensor for FREE, and explained to me in detail what the problem was, and was very straightforward and thorough.
I think I will come back here again.

short: great/​honest guy. no bullshit. highly recommended.
context:
My accord 2006’s VSA light came on. brought it into Mark to take a look. their diagnostics showed a faulty brake light switch, amongst other fault codes. he recommended me to replace first to see how things go. He offered to order one from his regular supplier, and told me I could get one myself and bring it back for him to install as well. he told me about how much it should reasonably cost. i ended up buying one myself locally and brought it back to him. he installed it on the spot, but didnt want to charge me anything. said to bring it back if problem persists. it’s been about 48 hours and VSA light hasn’t came back on. great/​honest guy. no bullshit. highly recommended.

I recent purchased a 91 Mazda Miata with 175K and she needed a good look over to see what is needed. I found out about MD Automotive from a forum and decided to set up an appointment. Shop opens at 7:30am-2pm on Saturday, I got there 5 minutes after, walked through the door and Mark greeted me right away.
Since it is my first time there, I asked to see the shop and he was glad to show me around. We shoot the breeze for a bit and I told him what I was looking to do to the car. He made me feel right at home, very friendly and not rushing me at all. I needed a ride, so ask if he had anyone to drop me off at home, since my dentist appoint was coming up. He didn’t hesitate to give me a ride,
I had him use my car to drop me off so he could get an idea on how the car drove. Once I was at my drive way, we shook hands and Marked said he will give me a call to let me know whats going on on Tuesday. Over all it was a very pleasant experience, I’ll see what Mark has to say on Tuesday.
More review to come after I everything is done.

My husband has been bringing his Honda Accord to Mark for close to 7 years and has raved about how great Mark is since we got married three years ago. It’s hard finding a trusty mechanic and I’ve experienced more than my fair share of dishonest ones. Though Mark specializes in Hondas, I sheepishly asked him (well, my husband did) if he would be willing to take in my Jetta. Up until then, I’ve had the worst luck with my car. I thought I might have bought a lemon and was about to give up on it.
Fortunately, since Mark has worked on my Jetta, I’ve loved it! He’s extremely thorough, honest, and does good work. It’s been running fantastically since then. I feel extremely blessed to have such a great and trusty mechanic.

I brought Mark a challenge. My 1990 Miata had been modified by a mechanic I no longer trusted. Because of the modifications done, I could not just bring it to anybody… I needed someone that knew Miata’s and the modifications done by Jackson Racing and others to improve their performance. Other repair shops only want to deal with original equipment cars and do not have the experience to trouble shoot. Usually they just want to start replacing parts till the problem is fixed. Mark diagnosed the problem and knew the best way to resolve the issue at minimal cost. Because he did such a great job at this project I also had him do my clutch and breaks. His expertise saved my time, my money and my car.

My 2005 Mazda 3 was idling so rough it was uncomfortable to sit in the car. I had taken it various times to «Mazda certified» mechanics at various dealerships trying to pinpoint the problem. One costly visit after another i still could not get an answer as to why my car was shaking so bad and my check engine light had been on for over a year.
I was extremely lucky to find Mark’s shop. After taking it there once his shop pinpointed the problem and was able to give me a reasonable quote. When they had my car for a few days over then expected Mark called himself to let us know what was going on. He even changed the oil and replaced the windshield wipers, though not being asked! That’s above and beyond if you ask me! I trust this shop completely. So much in fact that I will drive 20 miles each way to service my car there.
Finding an honest reliable mechanic is like a goldmine these days, and that is exactly what this shop is.

Went there yesterday and was very impressed. Mark is a great mechanic and honest. How refreshing !!!

Mark is an amazing mechanic. As a woman, I’ve found it to be so hard to find someone I truly trusted with my car. In the past, I felt dread when something went wrong with my car because I worried that I’d be taken advantage of. Mark changed all of this for me; he is someone I trust COMPLETELY. I highly recommend Mark. He’s never pressuring me to get this done or that done. In fact, he does quite the opposite. He’s patient, professional, and thorough. I feel lucky to have found him and I recommend him to everyone I know.

Mark Di Bella is a great auto mechanic! He has taken care of three of my cars, since 1987. A very detailed and reliable technician, but mostly an expert on Hondas and Acuras. I’ve been solicited by many other mechanics with price as their main driver of attraction, but at the end of the day, who do you trust working on the vehicle that transports your loved ones?
Thanks Mark, for all these years of great service, and I will continue to be a loyal customer.

Mark’s been working on my Hondas and Acuras for almost 20 years. I couldn’t think of a more trustworthy & honest guy to work on my (or my family’s) cars.
I’m a Honda guy and having Mark as a resource has kept me that way. Now that he’s branched out into other makes, I may have more options (though I’ll probably stick w/​Hondas for now…).
