Murray’s Auto Works

We had a scary issue with a stuck cruise control on an older taurus. They diagnosed the issue and showed me the broken part. They then gave me options and costs on what and how to fix it. The owner, Graham, was very helpful. We have gone to him for years and this is why we keep going back. Great Mechanic.

As a new resident to the area, I used the online reviews to find a mechanic. All the great reviews were right on point. I had an issue that I felt was more serious than it turned out to be. In fact, it was very minor. I took my car to Murray’s and they were excellent. As a single female, they could have easily sold me on an expensive repair, but they didn’t. Honesty and integrity seem to be rare in this day and time, and it was so refreshing to deal with honest people. I can highly recommend this business

I needed brake pads replaced on Thanksgiving eve. Angie’s List search was not working that day. A Google search for ‘brake service’ showed Murray’s on Unilocal with positive review so I thought I’d give them a try.
When I brought the car in, Graham took it out for a test drive (a rarity these days). He confirmed the brake pad diagnosis and also pointed out that the rotors were warped and couldn’t be turned and presented me with some options without pushing any particular one. I chose to just change the pads. After the pads were replaced, he once again took the car for a test drive to make sure it performed as expected. Again a rarity these days. Most places just replace the parts without ever doing a test drive. He also pointed out that my AC compressor needed to be replaced because of the whining noise it was producing. I appreciated the thoroughness of the service.
Four stars since it is my first time using Murray’s. I will definitely be back.

Graham, the owner, is as honest as they come. Murray’s was recommended to me by a coworker. I’d been there for nothing more than oil changes for the past year. This morning, I dropped off my fiancé’s car to have the timing belt changed. Not too long after getting to work, I got a call from Graham asking if I was sure that the belt had not already been changed because the water pump did not look as if it was original to the vehicle. I called my previous mechanic and confirmed that it had been done about a year and a half ago. Basically, he took money out of his own pocket and put it back in ours. This is someone you can trust.

Finally a mechanic that can be trusted. I have used this place several times and have never been disappointed. My mother took her car to the Honda dealership in Huntersville to get an oil change and they tried telling her that she needed over $ 1700 worth of work. When I took it to Graham he showed me that it did not even close to half of the things they said were required. It is evident that they were taking advantage of my mother because she knew little about cars and is in her 60’s.
Murray’s Autoworks have been my go to mechanic and has done a tremendous job. I have been so pleased that I recently took our Buick Enclave to get fixed even though I purchased an extended warranty from Randy Marion in Mooresville who turned out to be a bunch of crooks.
It is evident that this business is run by an honest person and that is very hard to find these days. I highly recommend this place as they do great work and do not try and take advantage of people.

I had my car towed here on the advice of a friend after I moved to town. Even without having met me, Graham in the office was up front about what they could and couldn’t help with, which is a great thing when you own a VW and can’t avoid occasional trips to the dealer for codes/​programming hibbity jibbity. Have taken multiple cars and always find they give me good advice on how to deal with problems for the short and long term.
