Our History

When Margaret Williams, the beloved mechanic that ran her shop for 34 years, decided to retire, she wasn’t willing to hand over the name and assets of her life’s work to just anybody. It was Margaret’s dedication, honesty, mechanical talent, and being an upstanding pillar in the community that drew patrons to the shop – it was important for the legacy and all it stood for to continue.

"Brought a vehicle for a pre-purchase inspection. Dan up front and the mechanic in the back both answered all my questions. The inspection was thorough and comprehensive and they both made our decision so much easier. Thanks again for getting the vehicle in the same day I called, and taking the time to talk to me. Appreciated all your help. Would have no issues bringing a vehicle here for servicing, you are in good hands."

"My drivers power seat stopped working so i went to the net and found out that the problem was common and sometimes hard to trace. I did some investigating and could not diagnose the problem. The net said expect to pay between 250 to 350 dollars to find and fix the problem . More if the motor was the issue. I went to Mar and they told me to go find a switch at a wrecker (cheap) or try on line and replace it and see if that solves the problem. Found the switch on line...cost me 31 dollars and installed it in 20 minutes. MAR advertises honest service. This is not lip service. They did no work but saved me about 300 dollars. Thank you MAR for dispelling the all too common narrative about most auto repair places."
