McLean Auto is my new go-to for car care and repairs. They always do a check in my entire vehicle to make sure things look good and they always follow up a day or so later to see if things are running properly! Services: Oil change, General repairs & maintenance, Auto maintenance

Great mechanics! I have taken my cars to many mechanics in the area. Most are not as thorough as Patrick and the crew. Its almost impossible to find a mechanic that will give you the complete run down on what is currently wrong, what can wait, and things that will need maintenance. The inspection is top notch. Pictures of issues, facts all in a very timely and prompt fashion. Patrick is great, and the crew that worked on cars made great recommendations on what to fix now, what should be fix later, and what maintenance care would need in the future. If you want to keep your car, take it to McLean Auto Repair. Thanks!

My experience at McLean Auto Repair put new thoughts and perceptions in my opinions of mechanics. Their service was excellent, vehicle inspection details were spot on and did not include any fabricated services. Their repair work was spectacular and without my knowledge they did a quick fix on my vehicle before I even asked. The service was beyond phenomenal and I will be back for all my car repairs including maintenance services such as oil changes. There is no place better than McLean Auto Repair. Great job fellas!

Great independent repair shop with knowledgeable staff and mechanics. They do a great free inspection that saved me from disaster on what is now my old car. If you think your dealer is not being straight with you, give this place a try. Worked well for me.
