Makes We Service

Our Customers Say It Best!

always amazing work done by this shop. Fully recommend to anyone. They have rebuilt two of my cars

Carlo DeFalco

These guys are the best. They’re fast, courteous, and trustworthy. I take my Honda to them for all the services I need. The shuttle service in particular is awesome for helping me get from point A to point B. I recommend them to everyone I know and most people I talk to agree: these guys are good!

Mitch Peterson

Made an appt online, dropped off the next day, and it was ready when they said. Super easy, very nice guys, and the price was good. My new go-to place.

Sergio Vargas

They were very nice and helpful. They were able to look at our brake issue last minute and perform the work. They are honest and thoughtful as they recommended to wait a day to get calipers too on hand to make sure they had them if needed. Turns out they did not need it and were able to make the old ones work. They could have just used the new parts but did not overcharge for nothing thank for that. They also waived some labor time to look at the issue as it was pretty straightforward. Got AAA 1

Alexis Dugré

The guys at Continental are always kind, helpful, thorough and direct. We’ve been going to them for 20+ years now and would recommend Continental Motor Works to everyone.

This place was amazing! They not only beat every price I got in the area, but did amazing work within a short amount of time. John was super friendly and helpful! I would highly recommend this place if you are in need of quality work. They even washed my car for me so it looked nice and clean when it got picked up!! These guys went the extra mile which seems to be uncommon in your typical auto shops. Thanks again guys 😊😊👍🏻!

Cj Fox

Very quick and efficient work by the Continental Motor Works team. I called towards the end of the day and they were able to get me in the next morning to get my battery replaced. They also allowed me to leave my car overnight at the lot the night I called since I had already jumped it and couldn’t turn it off without risking my failed battery dying again. Appreciate the quick help.

Nathan Harris

John was most accommodating. He was professional & very efficient. My battery had died that morning & he installed a new one for me within a short amount of time. My day had started on a bad note, but turned into a good day due to the excellent service at Continental Motor Works. I highly recommend this business for auto maintenance.

Donna Blackie

After running diagnostic they found car may be under warranty with dealership and advertised I take it there. They didn’t charge me for test engine fault
