Good. Honest. Reasonable. What more can you ask of an auto mechanic? And yet those people are so hard to find. We had a disabled car in Ocean City. A mile away was Island Auto. John was super nice on the phone and we felt comfortable having the car towed there on Saturday. Monday he had the car repaired ( a new alternator) and ready to go. If John wasnt 90 miles away from home, he would be my mechanic. We highly recommend this business!!!!!

I’ve used a island Motors since they opened ( turn of this century?). I have an old Honda that we only use seasonally. We normally drive very few miles. So, I’m always looking to keep it reliable and safe without spending “new car” maintenance money.In the latest instance, I had a drive belt that slipped because it overheated.The overheating was apparently due to a water pump pulley that had some corrosion on its surface. The dealer told me that in order to solve the problem, I had to replace the water pump….What? There wasn’t anything wrong with the water pump.So, I brought the problem to Island Motors. As usual, they solved it by using know-how and craftsmanship. They grinded the corrosion off the pulley. It cost a tiny fraction of the dealer’s new water pump solution.Island Motors is typically unsightly because of parked cars, tires etc. Don’t let that put you off. These guys are down-home pros and very honest.Thank you so much, John, Tyler and crew at a Island motors!

I was in OC on vacation and thought I possibly needed new ball joints. I was concerned as I live in ME and would be driving home in a few days. They took a look at my van and told me that I just had a warped brake rotor. They easily couldve lied and said that I did need ball joints, which wouldve meant a costly repair. I really appreciate their honesty! Honest mechanics seem to be few and far between nowadays, especially in ME.

Island Auto came through for me when my car broke down unexpectedly while in town for the weekend. They were friendly, helpful, communicative and timely. Very trustworthy and super reasonably priced. Highly recommend. Will be my go to mechanic if I ever have an issue again while visiting Ocean City.

Daughters car having issues, brought it in, Island auto took great care of the jeep, fixed it for a great price. Very happy with the result.

Lets take a moment to talk about the best experience I ever had at an auto repair shop. I was on vacation in Ocean City, four hours from my home. And my car needed help. What to do?!?! I called the closest place I could find: Island Auto Repair. The friendliest, most helpful guy answered the phone: Tyler. Told me to come on over, no problem. Met me as soon as I arrived. Got straight to work. Explained everything that needed to be done. Friendly and clear. Knowledgeable and efficient. I really didnt have to wait very long. And as a courtesy after the repair, he checked and filled my tire pressure. I left this place feeling like a happier version of myself. Seriously. I almost hope that next time I come to Ocean City, I have car trouble, just so I can once again have the opportunity to experience what optimal auto repair and superior customer service feel like. Thank you Tyler! And bravo to Island Auto Repair.

The owner, John, may possibly be the nicest mechanic Ive met, as well as the staff. Everyone is friendly and professional here. There isnt a variety of auto shops in OC to choose from but if you need anything done or fixed, absolutely take it here.

Got me in right away, everyone was very very friendly and professional. I was in and out in 10 minutes.Very fair pricing.

This garage offers great service and is extremely fair with their assessments of your vehicle. I had a great experience there.

Fantastic and easy to work with team! They keep you well informed about where youre at in the repair process. They have not tried to charge me for more than what is needed and have even been able to save me money with smart choices. Very happy to find such an honest and helpful repair shop close to home. I would recommend them for all of your auto repair needs.

The guys at Island Auto Repair were great! They helped me with my issue and had me on my way in 30 minutes!

As with other reviews, the staff and service is first class

Can always feel at ease having repair work completed professionally.

Incredible service and really good people . Highly recommend.

Great customer service

Unbelievably honest and helpful. Quickly helped me with an issue that turned out to be minor but could have been something much more involved. John was awesome. Highly recommend.

These guys are the best. Fixed right the first time at reasonable prices!

Found a nail in tire on way out of ocean city. Found Island Auto repair, they plugged hole in matter of minutes, were extremely friendly, great price! Highly recommend, especially if you find yourself with an unexpected flat!

A friend recommended this auto repair facility. We were very pleased and plan on continuing servicing our car there

Great service. The mechanics were very helpful and courteous.

Had a check engine light on, and needed an oil change. Had it in and out same day. Was happy with the service and price.

Everyone at Island Auto goes out of their way to help their customers. Each time i called with a car emergency they helped me and quickly diagnosed and repaired my car. I had two sick parents that I was caring for at the time they worked on my car and they were professional. kind and went out of their way for me. I highly recommend Island Auto!!!

John and Tyler are fantastic mechanics. The nicest thing about them is trust. When I walk in there, they are compassionate and reasonably priced. Ive never met a repair facility that I felt like I wasnt being taken advantage of. These guys make sure that when you walk in the door that they will have you taken care of. Thanks John, Tyler and Lenny for being there for me in my worst situations.

I would give 10 stars if I could. We pulled into town and the air compressor blew. They ordered the part and worked on it stat. They knew we had only 1 day and a plane to catch. Great job guys and thank you!!

By far the best mechanics in Cape May county, New Jersey. Even though Ive moved to the west coast, I miss having Lenny and his team available if anything went wrong with my Pontiac Vibe. They were always fair, reasonably priced, and for someone who doesnt know much about cars, they were always honest with me about what needed to be done. They even installed my stereo system! Miss you guys but my license plate holder still reads Island Auto!

One of the best shop experiences Ive ever had. Got me in and out in under 24 hours, and was very helpful all around with my situation. John especially was very helpful and a pleasant person to be around. Id recommend them to anybody.

Quick service had a flat fixed me up. In few minutes friendly and quality service 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Anthony Fixl

For years the guys have kept my vehicles on the road. Always fast service at very fair prices! When you find a honest dependable mechanic you stay with them!

Good place to get car fixed. Honest and fair price. They have 2 bays. One bay is for short jobs, the other is for longer jobs. You may have to leave your car overnight but like I said, honest and fair price...pick your poison!

Great Tyler and the guys rock efection knowledge able and quick very help acomadating

These guys are awesome!!! They nurse my 11 year old car with great skill and fair prices. They are very honest.

John is practical and honest, dont have to wait long for a job to be done

Lenny, John, Tyler & Rob have been servicing our cars for years! Were very happy with all they do!

Good honest and fast. What else can you ask for? I Highly recommend after our vehicle broke while in OC. (And I happen to own an auto shop in PA)

Best Auto repair anywhere!!! These guys know what they are doing and have been taking care of my cars for 25 years at least!!! I wouldnt think of going anywhere else....I wouldnt go anywhere else!

Great service! My rear wheel / brake was screeching very loudly. They were able to get me in and the issue worked on the same day. Everyone was very friendly and they got me back on the road in no time!

Quick tire repair. Very friendly and professional. Highly recommend!

They service and care for all our vehicles. We have been using Island Auto since they opened their doors. You truly will feel at ease leaving them you take care of your problems and routine maintenance.

John is the best, go to him for all your auto needs😊

Best car care in Ocean City!! I wouldnt take my car anywhere else.

Great service. Very knowledgeable employees. The only place I go to.

Great guys...my truck was overheating and its always unnerving going to a mechanic you dont know. They made me feel comfortable and it ending up only being a bad radiator cap. Would recommend to anyone in need of a mechanic while at the shore.

These guys are great! I had a break line problem on the 4th of July. Not only were they open for business, but they fixed the the problem and delivered as promised. The service was great and the price was very fair. I will be a repeat customer at Island Auto repair

John and Tyler are the best. Honest auto mechanics are very rare.

The guys did good work on my Civic, were up front and honest about needed vs. recommended repairs, and got it all knocked out in a day. Even picked me up and brought me back to the shop.

John and team are fantastic guys!

Always 5 star treatment! Thanks John and Tyler! J Comby

Island Auto peeps have always taken very good care of my care and are very considerate as well

My 1999 saab needed a thermostat. I showed up on their doorstep on a very crowded hot summer Saturday at 8:30 am. with no appointment. I was fixed and on the road home by noon. they were very professional and accommodating. Although my vacation cost me an extra 200.00,I am so glad they were there for me.

When replacing belts they stripped the belt tensioner adjustment bolt and let my wife drive off with a squealing belt. The mechanic who did that KNEW it as soon as it happened but would not take responsibility for correcting the damage. Asked the owner if he would fix it for free...crickets. Second shop had to rethread the adjuster for a couple hundred bucks. Never again.

Do not go to Island Auto.....looked at a Subaru and said the bearings were bad and needed to be replaced. Took the Subaru to Freds auto and the problem was the lug nuts were loose

Mechanic was knowledgeable and friendly. Completed my repair quickly and I was on my way.

They do a great job and go above and beyond to be helpful and thorough!

Just finished having my car serviced for an AC repair. The dealer told me I needed a new AC compressor ($1,150) so I took to Island. John told me it was a minor issue -- fixed the problem / completed the job in an hour - no compressor needed and done for a whole lot less. This was my first time here -- Ill be back...

Best shop anywhere. They always are friendly. They call with an estimate. They explain thoroughly and it is done on time.

Honest, fair, fantastic technicians, wont rip you off, always a pleasure to have work done here.

Good people, fair $, Not pretty in the front, but they know car maintenance and explain in clear language what needs to be done and what can wait.

Im an ocean city contractor and own several heavy duty trucks, i gotta say im always taken care of with quick repairs at a fair price. I live in mayslanding and even bring my personal vehicles to the shop

Needed a battery. Bought the battery there, then they even charged me to install it. 😠

We receive prompt efficient repair service from ISLAND AUTO for our two classic cars: a 1987 VOLVO Station Wagon and a 1986 BERTONE X1/9 two-seater sports convertible.. The mechanics are knowledgable,competent, honest. and charge fair pricesSeptember, 2015: One of the things we like the most about ISLAND AUTO is that when we have a problem, they stay with it until it is really fixed, even if it takes longer.

Island Auto has been repairing my cars since I moved to Ocean City in late 2004. Lenny and his staff have always been courteous, reliable, honest, and fair with every repair of my vehicles.

The BEST.....5 STAR

Knew I was from out of town. Had to purchase a new battery. Then they even charged me to install it. 😠

Friendly, quick service.

Honest mechanic
