I had been going to a dealer I have since learned was cheating me. I tried Paddy’s on the recommendation of a neighbor and discovered honest mechanics who deliver on their promises. My air conditioner was not working. Dealer had told me I needed new compressor. They had added two times recommended amount of coolant to a/c which was choking compressor. Paddy’s checked this, then they revised their original repair estimate written based on dealer’s written repair estimate, reducing a list of things be done by $2,700. Not many mechanics would have been that honest I suspect. Certainly not the

These guys are always awesome. Took one of my vehicles in to get an alternator replaced. During the repair, they found some other issues that required another part. I got a phone call letting me know what the other issue was, and that they were already on top of it and wanted to make sure it was repaired as well. I trust these mechanics 100% and have never been disappointed with the price or the turnaround times.

My recent experience with Paddy’s Autoworks was outstanding. They were able to quickly diagnose the issue, and set a realistic date for completion. Communication was excellent, and they treated me as if they were spending their own money. Very glad to have found a new custodian for my older ML430. Highly recommend.

When I considered purchasing a new toy I was concerned about service as I live in a rural area of east Texas. The closest Jaguar dealer is a 2 hour drive from my house. I happened to talk to another Jaguar owner in a lumber yard and found out that he used Paddy's and was very happy with their service. On the basis of that recommendation I went ahead with the purchase and boy am I glad I did. The vehicle has been great but what was even better was that all the street talk about Paddy's was incorrect. I had heard that their service was good but expensive. As it turns out, I think their prices are

Paddy's offers the best service I've experienced anywhere! Period! They have consistently diagnosed and repaired quickly and have very fair prices. Not only do they know what they're doing, they are like family. Great folks to work with.
I recently had my engine die on me and had to make the decision of replacing the vehicle or replacing the engine. After weighing the options I decided to replace the engine. Paddy did an outstanding job in a very timely manner. I actually think what I now have is better than new. Very very pleased.

I took my wife's Ram 2500 in to have an oil leak repaired. During the repair Paddy's found that the leak was caused by some shoddy repairs done by another shop. Armed with the defective parts and Paddy's write up I was able to go to the other shop and get some restitution on the cost. She is back on the road. I have confidence in the work Paddy's does. KR

Myself and my family have been trusting our vehicles to Paddy’s for over 13 years. My current car is a 10 year old Honda and is in tip top shape with 170,000 miles. We choose Paddy’s for all our oil changes and basic maintenance because we know if there’s a problem that needs to be addressed, it will be identified and repaired RIGHT at a fair price. I’ve used shady mechanics in the past who were dishonest about work that was not necessary or parts that were inferior. I rest easy knowing the folks at Paddy’s are honest folks who care about me, the safety of me and my family, and my overall

Recently had repair on my Jeep. While he had it in his shop I would normally be walking. Paddy furnished me with a loaner car at no other cost. If it had been any other place I would have had to rent a car. As far as the repairs everything went well and he gave me a guarantee better than anything I've ever seen. If you need repairs I highly recommend Paddy's.
