Why drivers choose us
The shop that
answers your questions.
Diagnostic equipment most independent shops don’t invest in. Conversations most shops don’t bother having. That’s the difference, and it’s been the difference since 1990.
- 01
Real diagnostic equipment.
OEM scan tools, factory service procedures, and OE-or-better parts. The same equipment the dealerships use, in a shop where the technician actually has time to use it properly.
- 02
We explain everything.
Before the wrench turns, you get a written estimate. After, we'll walk you out to the bay and show you the worn part. No invoice surprises, ever.
- 03
One family. One garage. Since 1990.
The Penacho family has been running this shop for over three decades. The person writing your estimate is the person whose name is on the door.
- 04
Warranty that means something.
12 months or 12,000 miles on most repairs, nationwide. If we missed it, we own it. That's the whole agreement.
- 05
Free rides, on us.
Can't sit and wait? Drop your car off and we'll run you home or to work, then come get you when it's ready. No charge, anywhere in Fall River and the nearby towns.
For most work, booking ahead gets you straight onto the rack instead of waiting on the lot. Oil changes are walk-in friendly, but a quick online booking still saves you time.
Always. We put the price in writing before we touch the car and separate what's urgent from what can wait. No surprise line items on the invoice.
Yes. Every repair we do is backed by a 12-month / 12,000-mile warranty, whichever comes first. We're a family shop that's been in Fall River since 1990, and we stand behind our work.
We're open Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm, and closed weekends. For most services we recommend booking ahead online at /book or by phone so we can get you in and out.

Since 1990.
“Whether you have a late model daily, or a weekend classic, these guys know their stuff. They are honest and reasonably priced. They know how to treat customers with respect and their care is bar none.”
“I have to say that Jason and Steve are amazing. I called the shop last week. Because some issues were wrong with my car. They took it in on Friday morning gave me an estimate Friday morning in regards to what was wrong in my car started working on it right away and completed it Monday afternoon. I also needed some body work done. They did it right on Friday. They ordered the other part, got me in thursday morning and replaced the other part of my mirror they are fair price, very fresh friendly and very accommodating, definitely going back.They've been great, and I would recommend anybody to go here”
“We 100% recommend Mike's/Complete Auto Tech: the oil change was easy to schedule, and they began at the scheduled time. All fluids were checked/topped, and they did a quick but thorough overview to make sure everything else looks okay. Extremely comfortable and warm waiting area with complimentary coffee, tea and fruit (if you're hungry). Out in a very reasonable period of time, car was clean in spite of the slushy snow, and the price was more than fair. Excellent experience!”
