“I’ve worked in the auto industry for over 20 years - mostly in dealerships- so I’m very particular about who I trust with my vehicles. After moving into a different field, I needed to find a shop that was honest, reliable, capable, and genuinely committed to doing things the right way. After years of being disappointed by various places, I finally found Powell’s.
This is a true family‑run business with Dan at the front desk, and his sons Tyler and Matt in the shop. They are exceptionally skilled, straightforward, and fair in everything they do. Their integrity shows in every interaction and every repair. I drive past at least six other shops to get to them, and it’s worth it every single time.
If you want a shop that treats you honestly, does excellent work, and genuinely cares about its customers, go to Powell’s. They’re exactly the kind of people you hope to find in this industry. Not to mention the prices are beyond fair.
Dan, Tyler, and Matt - thank you for your honesty, your skill, and your integrity. You’re great people, and I’m grateful to have found your shop.”
“Took my car for a pre-purchase inspection and they were able to find a bunch of things I didn't in my initial inspection, so it was definitely worth it! They were really fast and professional. Totally recommended.”
“I was travelling with my daughters and we heard a rattling near the tire. We showed up and the mechanic looked at it right away and fixed the problem within 5 minutes. It was a minor issue. We felt lucky that we found this mechanic and grateful for the service. I wish we lived closer so they could be our go to mechanic. Thank you!”

“After THREE YEARS of trying to get multiple mechanics to figure out an issue with our Subaru, we finally found this shop.
We were given every explanation under the sun, including blaming grocery crates for noise. We even went to the dealership, and it went nowhere.
These mechanics listened, took us seriously and test drove the car multiple times until they found the issue.
I also felt completely respected as a woman, which unfortunately isn’t something I’ve experienced everywhere.
Couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend!”
“Just had my 3.0L Toyota cylinder heads taken in for a full head job, turn around time was relatively quick as far as machine shops go; everything was communicated clearly and the heads are back to brand new condition. Will be recommending these guys to anyone who needs a machine shop.”
“Mike was fantastic to work with and I highly recommend his services. He was very honest and actually charged “half” the price of his quoted rate as he was able to get the job done much faster than anticipated. Pretty rare to see that type of integrity and shows this is a very trusty worthy and reliable business. Great work Mike!!”

“Took my th400 Transmission to Vern for a complete rebuild. Vern was Great to deal with and stayed on budget! Finally got to test it out and couldn't be more Happy. Thanks Shane Payea”
“Took my car for a repair here and was really impressed for how fast they had it done after dropping it off in the early morning. Service price is also quite reasonable. Definitively worth the trip to Carp for anyone in the westend. Recommended.”
