My car is a KIA Carnival 2024, the folks did not have the oil filter that the car needed, so they had to order the filter that day. I was not a walk in and registered my car online... so I would've thought that a filter would have been ordered beforehand... but maybe that is not the protocol, anyways... That was the first unfortunate thing that happened. Not only did the person order the wrong filter, the filter took over 1.5 hrs to get on location. It was then that they realized that the filter was the wrong one. The second order of the correct filter also took over an hour... So at this point, it was around 12:30/1:30 and I was being as patient as I could... Losing a half days worth of work and then having to work later that night was what I was trying to avoid by scheduling the appointment at 10:00 a.m. The person working the computer that day was really nice and I really wish I didn't have this kind of experience.... But waiting 4 hrs for an oil change is not ideal and then having to pay full price without any discount for the time spent on site was upsetting. I saw that they did leave some stuffed animals and a pack of wipes in the car, but at this point the damage had been done. If I do come back to Matt's for an oil change... I might be inclined to bring a filter myself so this type of incident doesn't happen again... I apologize for writing this and I do hope it is a one off incident. I will still be bringing the car for the next one... But if that one doesn't go well, I might have to find another local place to take our vehicle. Thanks for taking the time to read this!

We needed a new transmission, which we were able to coordinate with a junkyard for a quarter of the price. Additionally, they recommended a power steering fluid change, and upon a further inspection, the fluid was at a perfect level and color. The worst of all was the $230 estimate to fix an evap purge control solenoid which is a $20-30 part that required no fancy tools to install and can be done in less than a minute. This would have been a complete rip-off to have them do. We will be looking for a new mechanic as this is the second horrible diagnosis and money grab we’ve had with them within our family. It is sad to see a ministry like this operating with such low integrity.
Way over priced
