5 stars JOSH G Featured review
they recommended replacement of only the parts that truly needed replacement. Cory didn't try to push additional parts and other unnecessary service items to inflate their price. Honest mechanics are a rare occurrence!
We had oil leaks and the car required an alignment pretty bad. He quoted us very fair prices that are significantly cheaper than any stealership.
He and his team were able to replace both valve cover gaskets, PCV valve, tranny filter, gasket, spark plugs, oil change, and an alignment in less than a day's work. the valve cover gaskets are time-consuming due to the amount of stuff you have to remove.
1. They stand by their work: the alignment tracked very straight but the steering wheel was slightly off index. No problem, as soon as I returned, they got right to it and started right away.
2. Cory and his mechanics are REALLY GOOD people. You can tell they love what they do and they are there to HELP you.
3. Quality - He didn't hurry the job to kick your ass out the door for the next customer.
Bottom line Pros:
- Honest
- Affordable
- Customer-committed
- Quality work backed by a decent 1 yr warranty (others are usually 90 days)
- Friendly and Helpful
- Super convenient location (at least for me)
Cons: there are very few but didn't affect my rating
- limited parking.
- waiting area is a little dusty
Id definitely come back and highly recommend to others

Went in for a routine oil change. Service was quick and staff was professional.

Brought our second family car to Cory for an oil change and we also needed our A/C serviced. We are very happy with the level of service that Cory provided, and the cost was very reasonable. Definitely bringing all our auto care needs to Moran Auto Center from now on. Thank you Cory!

I have a 2006 Mazda6i and i was due for a oil change and i thought all my car needed was a wheel alignmnet but after i talked to the owner he recommended me that my tires might need to be balance. i agreed to getting them balance and the service was great and freindly. They were also fast and effecient and my car is running great no more bumby ride. My car is running great i will definitly come back for my regular maintance and to top it off Prices were great

O.k here I go. I am a woman who had to get her car fixed. It was making the sounds of a car on its last legs. Well I thought if I go and get it fix will he charge me lots of money because I am A women or will he fix it right. well he sat me down and explained to me what was wrong with the car. He tried to explain as much as he could to me. He told me what needed done now and what I could wait on, what it would cost to fix. What I could do. For what I paid, I think I got alot for my money. My car starts right up and its not dieing. the car sounds great thank you for all the help you gave me by answering my questions. And thank you for not over chargeing me because I am a woman. I will be back. Ladys he is straight with you doesn't try to get more money then needed.

lazaro (mechanic) did a quick service and was very polite, the prices are high. Also the lobby is very dirty and look old and ugly.
5 stars BRYAN J Customer since 2012
No complaints. They did great work on my breaks and didn't try to sell me on any unnecessary work. Quick service as well. I will definately go back for my next service.

I was recommended to Moran Auto Center for an issue I had with my Mazda 3. The staff provided useful information and viable alternatives. The fact that staff shared the options created a trust and I plan on returning for future inspections and regular maintenance.

It's difficult to find a good mechanic, much less an honest one. Cory did everything right and proved himself to be extremely trustworthy. I would gladly bring my business back in a heartbeat. Cory went above and beyond to provide great customer service.
