This place is great. Brought my 2011 camaro ss in for some routine maintenance. They found a few other problems. Glad they found them. 2 bad coolant hoses. Going back on Thursday to have those fixed. Ray is a cool guy. Very knowledgeable about cars. Will be bringing all my vehicles here for future repairs and maintenance.

The Good - Quality of repairs. A+The Bad - Length of time of repairs(out of their control)The Ugly - No ETA of repairs once past initial ETA(completely within their control)If you’re not in a rush and want your job done correctly, this is the place.If you’re on a pressing deadline I’d go somewhere else.Service: Transmission repair

It was a pleasure to work with Ray at Master mechanix. I Just purchased a 1976 C3 Corvette. It Needed a new radiator, all new fluids, and break work done. I just got the car back today and it’s running Great! Breaks were REALLY bad before but now are perfect, and the overall sound of the engine is running much cleaner as well. I’m super happy with his work and his prices. I’ll be returning for his expertise in the future.

This is the best mechanic shop I have had a pleasure dealing with. They replaced my engine quickly and made sure everything was top notch, also took care of things I didn't even know was wrong and/or tried doing myself and wasn't very successful at. They also did it for a fair price, I would 100% recommend using this company. I will use this shop from here on out and will tell everyone else I know to do the same.Services: General repairs & maintenance

Ray was kind enough to work us into their busy schedule. They promptly identified and fixed what was wrong with our car, and the total price for the inspection and repair was fair and reasonable. I wasn’t familiar with any mechanics in the Pocatello area, and I’m really glad I found this shop.Services: General repairs & maintenance

My husband and I are full-time RV’rs and traveling through Idaho. We were on I -15 near Lava Hot Springs, ID when our truck began to lose power on the hills. My husband could not get it over 2500 RPMS even with the gas peddle to the floor. Our truck has been a work horse for 3 1/2 years of pulling our fifth-wheel and we have never experienced a problem towing even in the Rockies. We are making our way to Alaska this summer and will be traveling through high mountain passes so this was especially concerning to us. We pulled over at a gas station and I called 9 different auto repair shops (on a Friday afternoon) and none of them could help us. I called Master Mechanix and Ryan answered the phone. At first he said they were all booked up, but when he heard our predicament he came back to the phone and said that Ray the owner said to bring it in. So we hauled our fifth-wheel there and dropped it on the side street while they worked on diagnosing our problem. Turns out it was user error and we had bad gasoline in the fuel tank. They discovered this and educated us on gasoline here in the Western Mountain states. That was a very valuable lesson. Everyone we spoke to including the technician Mike that actually worked on our truck, was incredibly knowledgeable and professional. These are the guys you want working on your vehicle!!! Thank you SO MUCH to all of you at Master Mechanix as you really gave us peace of mind!!!!!Service: Auto engine diagnostic

My colleague and neighbor recommended this place for general maintenance for my 2004 4Runner. I emailed Rick and made an appointment and when I picked up my truck and it was exactly the price we discussed, no surprises. They did a much overdue tuneup and oil change and repaired a problem with my headlights. They went the extra mile and polished the headlights that had turned yellow with age and I didnt see a charge for it on the invoice. Truck is now running like a top! This seems to me to be an honest and quality mechanic that charges a fair rate and you cant ask for anything more. Im looking forward to a long relationship with Master Mechanix!

I’ve brought both of my cars here to Ray and work has been done quickly and reasonably priced. He takes the time to explain what needs to be done, gives options when options are available, and is honest in all his work. Would recommend Ray to anyone and will be continuing my business here!!

I broke down on the way through Pocatello. I didn’t know anything about any of the mechanics in the area, the tow shop recommended this one, so since it was after hours and I just needed to get off the side of the road I went with it. Spoke to Ray the next day, and he said he would try to work it into his busy schedule which was already scheduled a couple weeks out. I understood being scheduled out, but I wasn’t really happy about his apathetic attitude. I heard him on the phone; when I went to pick up my luggage out of the car, scheduling a car for service the next week. However, I felt stuck with having already towed it to this shop and needing to get back to work. After a week I checked back with him to see where things were with the car, and he told us it was one problem; that he “fixed” for $350, and after that he then told us it was the transmission which was going to cost $2000-$4200. Knowing the history of our car we knew it couldn’t be our transmission, so we paid him for the work he had said he did and took it to a different shop. It was obvious at this point that he didn’t really know what was wrong and was fixing things out of a process of elimination and charging us for it. We don’t have the money for him to do that, so after taking it to the other place they took 2 days of testing out our car’s systems and found that the work he said he had done still needed to be adjusted, and that our catalytic converter was plugged. Our transmission was completely fine. I hate to think how much money we would have sank into this car before he found the actual problem.Service: Exhaust

First: I have to give credit to these guys - they did a great job of fitting in an inspection on a vehicle I was purchasing. I was calling from out of town to purchase a vehicle down the street from them and they were able to do an inspection on the same day I asked for it. They charged a reasonable price and seemed to be pretty professional and responsive.Unfortunately: I specifically asked the folks here to check vehicle body issues as it had previously been in an accident - they reported that there were no issues they could see. The first thing I noticed after picking up the vehicle was that the driver side door sits about 1/4" lower than the passenger door from where it was damaged and repaired. This causes some seemingly obvious sealing issues - if the vehicle was road tested it would be pretty easy to hear from the road noise alone. Annoying but fixable. In fact I wouldn't have left a review if this was the only issue.My major issue: The shop missed a rotten rear brake hose that actually split at the caliper on the interstate less than 72 hours after their inspection (within the first few hundred miles of leaving their shop), resulting in loss of brake system pressure at 80mph. Obviously this could have easily ended in a serious accident. The only reason I'm not making this a 1 star review is that the hose may have rotted from the inside and not been easily visible from the outside for inspection. I can't conclusively say that this was something that could have been caught because I can't see what it looked like before the failure. I can say that heating up the brake fluid on a road test and then giving it a vigorous stomp probably would have made the hose fail in their shop rather than on the interstate.
