Reviews
"Today I had snow tires swapped out. They did it quickly and with the their typical great service! Nicely priced too. Previous: I got new brake pads and rotors put on my car. Staff were kind and pleasant and prices were fair. It was easy to schedule and the work was completed quickly. Nobody likes taking their car in for repair work but Marathon Automotive made it a good experience."
"These guys have been great. My older Hyundai needed a lot of maintenance and TLC after it sat outside all winter. Red squirrels had nested in my engine, and they ate every wire to everything in the engine! These guys fixed all that and got me back on the road again pretty quickly. I also had brakes done and oil changes. Every appointment I was greeted by professionals with great communication and service. I'm so glad I found this shop for my auto repair needs!"
"I was on vacation and was pulling my trailer with my truck, when the brakes went out on my truck. I managed to get it stopped right in front of Marathon Automotive. It was after hours, so I called them the next morning. By early afternoon, I was back on the road. The cost was more than reasonable. Highly recommend."
"Beware of unnecessary repairs. My Ford Expedition was involved in a parking lot collision and my insurance company mostly worked with Gerber. They don't do alignments, though, so they sent my truck over to Marathon. Marathon said they could not do the alignment because the rear upper control arm was seized but they could repair it for $750 or thereabouts. I was a little skeptical because my car has lived almost its whole life in Florida... After looking up the part and learning that it cost about $100, then using a database to learn that the labor time is less than one hour, I declined the repair, which also means that I'll have to pay for the alignment out of pocket. I took it to my own very reputable mechanic who was able to loosen the bolt with a hand wrench and a quarter turn. He said it turned easily. Literally, zero repairs were needed. And this is anecdotal, but he shared with me that someone else had been in the shop two weeks earlier because Marathon had told them a repair would cost $2200. It was actually a $600 repair. No need to editorialize further, just take that information for what it's worth."
