Murphy's Autocare is a trustworthy mechanic that I would recommend to anyone looking to get their car fixed. I just moved to Dayton, Ohio last year and my brake light switch went out. I searched the web to find a mechanic with good reviews and with all of the raving reviews for Murphy's, I decided to take my car in to get worked on. Now, about 10 months later the same problem has come up again. I called Murphy's and they told me that they have a 3 year warranty on their parts and services and told me to take my car in for them to inspect. With no additional charge, they went above and beyond to make sure there wasn't a deeper issue and installed a new brake light switch. Very pleased with their thorough work--Thanks Murphy's!

I really like the friendliness and professionalism that you receive at Murphys Autocare. My car is older and sometimes the pricing exceeds my expectations for repair If I had a newer car I would not question the cost as much. I have 2 times now heard them on the radio and it happens that that is exactly what I need to check and they are always what I say is honest in their assessment. I trust them. Marie is a gem

Brian and the rest of the crew are fantastic. Did a complete inspection and told us everything that needed repairing, and even told us what was urgent and what could wait. Great service and fast work. We were back on the road by the end of the day.

I was very impressed. They even sent me pictures of what needed repaired. Highly recommend.

I took my Lexus to two other mechanics before Murphy's and neither could figure out the problem. Murphy's got right to it and fixed it perfectly the first time. Very good job and the amount of detailed diagnostic information they give is simply amazing. Staff is courteous and professional. I've been to cheaper mechanics but you get what you pay for and these folks are definitely worth it.

07:24 17 Mar 18

Service is good here. I got a full vehicle inspection for $138 and a trade in value report printed for a vehicle I was purchasing in the area. When you drop off a vehicle you'll get status updates via email, text, and phone call which might be overkill.

Aaron Perry

Fast and honest service! Great price on services I needed done.

Had a brake down on a road trip. Quick professional service. I recieved periodic phone calls with statis of repairs without being promted. Also the cleanest garage I've ever seen!

Professional, fair, and honest work. I strongly recommend Murphy's for anyone that lives in the Beavercreek/WPAFB area. Thanks for helping me keep my 30 year old Ford on the road!

Murphy's Autocare is modern auto service. I was very impressed with their operation and attention to detail. This is the first shop in a long time that I felt very comfortable that my car was in good hands. Between the text message updates and being able to see all the details of each service visit on the web service they use (which is very cool), it makes you feel like you are truly involved in every little detail about your service visit. I don't think I've ever said this about a shop, but I actually look forward to bringing my vehicles in for service.

I’ve been looking for an independent automotive garage to have our cars serviced. I have found it at Murphy’s Autocare! Great experience with friendly knowledgeable staff that have been around a long time. I received an email first with a detailed estimate with pictures and explanation of what was needed to repair my truck and that was followed shortly after with a phone call to go over estimate. Repairs and routine maintenance were listed and ranked in order of importance so I could easily decide what needed repaired right away and what items I could wait to have done along with advice on each item. Getting auto repairs done can be very frustrating but the experience I had was top notch! Thank you Dave Murphy and staff who all helped me.

Today was my first time having my car serviced at Murphy's. I'm always pretty nervous about mechanics because honestly, I know very little about cars and you always hear people being taken advantage of. More than anything, I want honest and open conversations when getting my car fixed. They were able to fit me in on short notice after my tire blew and Ryan never made me feel silly for knowing so little about anything car related. He was very nice and understanding.The prices were reasonable (plus supporting a local business feels better than large corporations) and Ryan was upfront about the total cost. I look forward to seeing if this service and trust continues! Thank you for patience, quick service, and help. I'm still nervous about dealing with car stuff (I secretly wish I could sell my car and bike EVERYWHERE!!) but I hope continuing to come here and having positive experiences will help with that!

Wow, what a great service. Murphy's is the place to take your car if you need help fixing it. I had problems with my A/C, and they took me in this morning and by 330pm, it was fixed. They sent me a text an email and left a voice mail when they diagnosed the problem. Superb customer service. I asked around town and they were highly recommended, was told they are a little bit more expensive than other shops. It is worth paying the extra and get the great service that they provide. I dont think there is any other car repair shop in Dayton that can match their customer service and repair skills. Honest people. I will definitely return if i ever have issues with my car. A++++++++ Again thank you very much.

I was surprised how thoroughly detailed the inspection was when I got my report back. I declined their recommended repairs, but still received a few tips on what I should do next to fix the problems on my own. If I need services in the future, they will get my business again.

Eve Coots

20:48 13 Dec 18

I had my transmission oil checked using their analysis service and they did a free inspection of my car. It was wonderful to find out what needed to be replaced on my car and I received an excellent description on what could happen if I didn't complete these standard recommended maintenance issues. Very happy with the service I received. My dad also loves listening to their radio show.

Linda Hardwick

13:32 18 Dec 18

Dropped off our truck after hours and had a response the next day on everything it needed. Will definitely recommend you to others!

Jeff Brown

16:28 18 Dec 18

Murphy's is probably the best Auto repair shop I have been too. Friendly and Knowledgeable staff. They even reminded me when my car is due for an oil change! I generally prefer small buisnesses. I will be going to Murphy's in the future.

They serviced my 2006 Audi A3 and did thorough inspection of car. Even texted me progress status with pictures of work done. Service advisor Eric McFarland was great in explaing what was being done!

Very professional and knowledgeable. I really liked the way they communicate their findings via email and pictures. I would highly recommend this Murphy Auto Service in Beavercreek..

I was very pleased with the service at Murphy's Auto. It was the first time i had my car serviced there. They did diagnostics and showed me the screen shots of the results. Their diagnostics found a problem that other mechanics could not find. They serviced my vehicle promptly, called me with updates and took the time to explain the problems and how they would fix them.

Erin Stauffer

20:28 21 Feb 19

I still love these guys! I have been a customer for 9 years! They have never steered me wrong! They treat everyone with respect. Less expensive than the dealer for sure! Personable and Clean, Clean, Clean. And they have coffee!

First time at Murphy's. Hoping it wouldn't be like past experience with other garages. To my pleasant surprise, they did the job right and on time, kept us in the loop, very polite and professional. I plan to keep my car for 200,000 miles. Will be back the next time my older Chevy acts up.

Chris Klahn

03:35 19 Mar 19

Great auto shop that was very responsive to my short notice needs. They were upfront, thorough, and honest, and I don't know what else I could expect from an auto repair shop.

Took my wife's Equinox here as it was running real bad and leaking oil without notice. Staff was friendly and quick to check the vehicle, further trying to find the root of the issue instead of a quick repair and get me out of there. Unfortunately, the engine was done (6 year old car with less than 80k mileage, come-on Chevy), but they even contacted the manufacture to try and get some of the repairs covered, although without success. By Wednesday night, we had agreed on the work to replace the engine, along with some other repairs (minor in comparison). They started the work right away and the car was completely finished by Saturday, though they kept it until Monday just to make sure everything was normal. Even allowed us to drive one of their rentals (nothing fancy, but convenient and well priced) for those 5 days and ended up not charging us. Will return, though hopefully won't have anymore big problems. Have already told the wife we will use them even for oil changes from now on.

Dave Murphy and his staff treated our homeschool group to an amazing tour of their business. The amount of education about cars and maintenance was matched only by their friendly professionalism and patience with the students. It's very comforting to know such an honest and caring group of people work in our community. We thank them sincerely for hosting us after they had worked a full day, because they care about educating and inspiring the next generation of car owners and mechanics. Dave, as always, is approachable and kind, and I thank him for making the planning process easy. Thanks again for a wonderful evening!

My 14-year-old recently had the opportunity to participate in a homeschool auto care workshop hosted by Murphy’s. She had a great time and shared many auto care facts after the event. I appreciate that the employees were willing to work with our group after hours in order to teach teens about auto care. I feel that this business cares about the community and strives to give back.

J Brown

03:06 30 Mar 19

My 13yr old daughter recently participated in a tour/demo with our homeschool group. They were really great with the kids and taught them quite a bit. What a great business to take time out of their own day for kids in their community.

This place is awesome! We went here for a homeschool field trip, and everyone was very friendly and informative. My son is a car fanatic and loved learning about some of the amazing technology this shop uses. I’m definitely going to take my car (it’s my baby!) to this place the next time it needs work.

Liz Ramey

13:08 01 Apr 19

This place rocks! My 12yr old daughter attended a homeschool field trip at Murphy's after hours. She had a great experience learning about how cars work and what goes into to repairing them. She has a lot more respect for the industry and insists that we bring our cars only to Murphy's and I agree. Thank you for a wonderful experience and for giving back to the community!

Jeff Smith

11:23 04 Apr 19

Top notch place! My daughter recently attended a homeschool field trip here and I was blown away by the amount of info they shared with these kids. I also loved all the hands on teaching they provided. Everyone was so patient and kind. Thank you so much for taking the time to invest in the next generation..

22:56 31 May 19

Awesome shop. I received a pre-purchase vehicle inspection and was shocked at the level of detail they provided. Thanks to Eric for being extremely thorough and doing a great job. I'll be coming here from now on.

Laura Anderson

17:49 11 Jun 19

We've been taking our vehicle to Murphy's for about two years now. I love their inspection reports that clearly layout the priority of its needs and images of the vehicle's parts. They've always been very kind and patient when answering our questions about our vehicle and the repairs it needs so that we feel comfortable and confident in the work going into our car. Their customer service is top notch in our book.

David Harris

I needed a independent report on a used car before purchase,this auto care service was recommended to me,I called and they got me in the same day. I was very impressed with their service, advice and knowledge.Several of their recommendations helped me at the dealership later for purchase. This auto-care center is the real deal !

From someone that works random hours, Murphy's works with you and makes it as easy as possible to schedule appts. They are honest and upfront about costs and final prices often match initial estimates. No steps are taken without your prior approval. Most unique to Murphy's though is that you get an emailed report with pictures of your cars parts and is color coded in severity of needing addressed- immediate, recommended, suggested, etc. They will run through the report with you in laymen's terms. Much appreciated. I had a shop around the corner to my house that I could walk to and I chose to drive across town once I found out about Murphy's. They go above and beyond!

Addie Randolph

19:01 27 Jul 19

I had to get an oil change, transmission fluid flush, and check the engine light on my car. They did all that plus a general inspection which was super helpful. The people were very nice and good at explaining the issues with my car.

Linda Ballard

23:50 13 Aug 19

Great service! On time for appointment and Eric took time to answer all my questions very well. Love the real time updates during check and automated updates, reminders. Thank you!

Kyle Kelty

02:59 27 Aug 19

Outstanding service...second to none. I've been dealing with car repair shops in various states for 20yrs...This is simply the best most professional shop I've seen, bar none. They set the bar for how a mechanic shop should operate and accommodate their customers. Would recommend to anyone.

Dale Hill

19:57 30 Aug 19

Thank you for your service on my 2001 Car . It is time to purchase a new one. A new one will not have as many items to replace in the beginning but I do love your service and employees. They are always helpful and kind Dale

My first time at Murphy’s Autocare and I am very impressed with how thorough they are. Everyone is very knowledgeable and took a lot of time to explain things. If you have to depend on your car, Murphy’s is the place to take it.

Mindy Allen

02:34 27 Oct 19

I heard about this place from a friend who suggested we take our vehicle to be diagnosed for what I suspected was an electrical problem. I had taken my car to the Dealership 4 times in hope's of having the issue fixed with no success. We made the appointment late in the day and they were able to look at my vehicle the next day. Not only did they diagnose the problem in a few hours, I was highly impressed with their diagnostics procedures. They took pictures every step of the way and kept in touch with me the entire time! There was no doubt they knew their stuff! We def be repeat customers from now on!

Dave Murphy and his team have serviced my vehicles for 20 years. They are consistent in being professional, helpful/accommodating and friendly. A BIG thank you for keeping me safe on the roadways!!

I recently took my older Toyota Camry in for service and someone had recommended Murphy's to me. At other repair shops, they may fix your car but I never leave feeling like I understood what they did or that they really had my best intentions at heart. Not at Murphy's Autocare. When I called to schedule brake service, Eric talked with me over the phone for a very long time to ask me questions and to ensure he understood the problem. Then after fixing my car, they gave me a full, detailed write up of the service they performed, gave me photos and videos of areas my car needs attention to in the future (but not pushing sales). The experience was incredible and the customer service was best in class. I have since taken my other car there for service and had the exact same positive experience. I'm never going to another auto repair shop again - Murphy's is the VERY BEST!

Albert Hickey

16:21 15 Jan 20

Professional services at reasonable prices. They use a phone app to communicate with you about the car status.

Kathy Sakach

19:16 22 Jan 20

The crew at Murphy's is top notch. We had a puzzling problem with our vehicle. It took several visits to figure out what was happening. The guys even came to our home early one morning to problem solve. I always get a thorough explanation about the problems and a common sense approach to the repair needed. None of my questions or my lack of knowledge are judged. Great job team Murphy.

Erin Cuff

01:57 13 Feb 20

We recently moved to the area and I was looking for an honest place to take my car to get some work done and had a GREAT first experience here today! Brian was super friendly when I arrived and explained their process to me. They send a detailed report via email/text with pictures of the work that needed done or work they suggested to be done. When I picked up the car Brian explained in more detail what they saw and that they rent a car out or offer pick up/drop off services if needed! I will definitely be taking our vehicles there for future work!

Ryan and Kevin, Great job and appreciate a family business. Two hours after getting car back Sold it proudly. Thanks to all! Terry

Trent Phipps

20:36 05 Mar 20

Brian was able to fix problems with a “competitors” work. The equipment they use is top of the line. I would highly recommend them for any automotive repair. The shop is clean, staff is nice and the technology they use to keep you updated on your repairs and the ability to reference pictures of before and after is priceless. I really enjoyed leaving without that thought of “ did I just get screwed?, were the techs doing burnouts?” The typical questions that arise from leaving some shops. Thank you again Brian.

Andre Hutson

12:31 08 May 20

I"ve been to many shops over the years.This is the first shop that literally showed me ever part they checked and gave simple explanations why it did or didn't need service before doing any.That was amazing in itself.

My car is a 10 year old car with over 104965 miles. It needed several items to be taken care of and technicians at Murphy’s auto care identified maintenance into immediate needs and things that may be planned for future. The technicians did a test drive, replaced my very worn tires, fixed the hatch issue and door issue along with regular maintenance. During the whole period, Eric was in contact with me, explaining the inspection details, accommodating my questions, providing me courtesy transport (Kevin & Dave), and delivering the car completing services on time. I’ll recommend my friends and family to Murphy’s auto care for exceptional service. No, nobody twisted my arm this review! I also listen to the weekend radio program on 1290 WHIO.

Jack Leopard

15:26 09 Jun 20

Very knowledgeable and took the time to explain what was happening and reviewed all anticipated charges (parts and labor) upfront fo a kid surprises. Multiple updates through the process and they started with the least expensive / impactful options when ruling things out as opposed to just going for the high dollar items. Great communication throughout and I’m very happy with the entire process.

Nick Attillo

01:41 19 Jun 20

Eric was extremely professional, kind, and transparent. Diagnosis was very thorough with pictures and descriptions of the recommended work. Ultimately the labor rates were too high, so I took my truck to AAA to get the actual repair on my AC completed.

Landon McKibben

13:53 22 Jun 20

My car broke down in Beavercreek on a Wednesday. I recently lost my mechanic so I was super stressed. I came accross Murphy's during a basic Google search while stranded at the gas station. Just the calming voice of the dude on the phone made me feel comfortable bringing my car in. They got me a tow in less than 30 minutes! The text to phone breakdown with photos the next day really helped me understand the problem and what needed to be fixed. Overly convenient! Not even close to overpriced. I will go back and have already referred others. Stellar spot!!

mike elder

22:08 09 Jul 20

I would probably give you guys five out of five stars for your service team. The only other way my experience could be better would be if it was free. My grandfather was a retired air Force lieutenant Tuskegee airmen, knowledgeable mechanic, and proud beavercreek resident. He first recommended your shop, pass it to my uncle's which who have passed it down to me now. The service is great I don't feel like I'm being lied too, the friendly environment makes it my shop of choice. In which I will recommend to my family and friends. Thank you

Mike Holbert

22:14 27 Jul 20

This is the best automotive repair shop around. Eric and Christopher went above and beyond to make sure I was happy. Very friendly and helpful. I will be going to Murphy's for all my automotive needs.

They took such great care of my Buick! Worked with my warranty company to drop my out of my pocket costs from $1200 to $300. Came and picked me up when she was ready, just a really great experience. Will be a returning customer. 🙂

Raymond Vogel

12:09 23 Sep 20

Hadn't gone there before but definitely will again. They made room for me on short notice and had no issues working on my Prius. Plus their notification system and approach are both top notch. Highly recommend.

12:05 13 Aug 20

Murphy’s Auto Care is the absolute best in the business — professional, knowledgeable, and thorough! With car care, remember, you often get what you pay for. In and around the Dayton area, there’s no better place to go.

Lindsey Shedd

00:45 05 Nov 20

I have taken my car here three times now and each time I’ve had a wonderful experience! Not only do they address the problems with excellence, they are also extremely kind and helpful. I definitely recommend this place!

S AS (Anonymissy)

02:58 12 Nov 20

These guys are so nice! They're very knowledgeable and explain everything in perfect detail. I love that they take pictures of your vehicle parts that need to be replaced. They show you the pictures and explain the function of the parts and how they affect the performance of your vehicle. They also print out pages of the parts that need to be replaced/ repaired, but put them in order of importance. It's evident they put safety first, but also know some things may be very expensive and make it easy to get the most important work done first. I'm very leary about mechanic shops, being a female. I've been ripped off before. But I didn't feel that way at all at Murphy's!

Craig Smith

19:24 23 Nov 20

They were consummate professionals and handled me and my vehicle with great consideration and care. They listened to my concerns and offered realistic and reasonable solutions. I cannot recommend them highly enough. This is an automotive shop in which you can reliably place your trust. Thanks to Isaiah, Ryan and all the staff.

Amy

15:28 21 Dec 20

I’ve been going to Murphy’s for auto service for years. They are not the cheapest in town, but they do have the best customer service. To me, it’s worth paying a little extra for service that definitely goes the extra mile. After every service, I get an inspection report with photos of my vehicle and the issues that need addressed now, in the near future or long term. They are always willing to work with you to make the best decisions for your vehicle as well as your pocketbook. Appreciate everything they do. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

keren sluus

15:09 04 Feb 21

The tire and rim on my car got busted while I was driving. I called AAA, and while looking for auto mechanic locations I came across Murphy’s. I called them and Eric was great about continuing contact as I was waiting for AAA, and through the process I’m trying to get my car to their shop. They were very great about working with me, they were so helpful, the communication was great, and I really imagine that I’d have that good of an experience at an auto shop. I will absolutely be coming back to the shop when I officially move to the Dayton area. If I could give 10 stars I would! Thank you to Eric and everyone at Murphy’s!

The Genesis handles great after the BG power steering flush and tire rotation/balance. Their expert technicians thoroughly diagnosed the ABS and related systems. Ryan and Eric are knowledgeable, professional, and cordial in their communications. I highly recommend this great team of professionals!

Aaron Williams

12:44 13 Feb 21

Very professional staff, free shuttle service, photo updates of your car and detailed explanation of every service suggested. These guys will definitely be my go to for service from here on!

Gregory Sparks

20:23 25 Feb 21

A+ service from these guys. Love that they always explain what they want to do and why, and that they include pictures of what they found with their inspection results. Diagnosed and fixed two separate engine issues I certainly wouldn't have been able to diagnose myself. Way better than a dealership that tried to tell me my front brakes and rotors were totally shot and needed to be replaced when they were actually in good condition!

Rachelle Miller

17:38 19 Mar 21

Everyone was super nice and professional. I appreciated that they took the time to take a ride with me to listen for the noise that I was hearing. They also explained the repairs that are needed for my vehicle and even printed out an invoice for me to keep/schedule maintenance and budget for the items on my own timeline. I will definitely be doing business with them in the future!

Sydni Phebus

17:23 26 Mar 21

I am not a car person, but they explained everything thoroughly so I could understand what needed to be done and why. Ryan was very friendly, professional, and good at communicating. My car was done in a reasonable amount of time and runs way better than before. I will be taking my car to Murphy’s for any future repairs I need. 10/10 would recommend!

Felix Santos

19:22 26 Mar 21

Amazing customer service from this place. They performed an inspection and provided pictures of what they found and were able to send them through text along with a description with each picture. Staff were really welcoming and professional. They were knowledgeable and made suggestions about possible future maintenance to give you time to budget for them. I spoke with Ryan throughout my experience and will definitely bring my vehicle back for future services.

Geo Was

02:04 14 Apr 21

As always, the team at Murphy's is cheerful, professional and exceedingly competent. The inspection pictures and description of recommended (or not recommended) services set the standard for what their industry should aspire to. I always have confidence in their recommendations because they are plain, forthright and with the pictures and information they provide they know I could have any other mechanic give me a second opinion (although I've never felt the need to do so). Their value is beyond compare.

Heidi Fosberg

If you’re looking for a shop with friendly and knowledgeable employees, you won’t find a better place than Murphy’s Autocare. As a first time customer at their new Centerville location, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but their staff went above and beyond to help me. From listening to my concerns about my vehicle, to their easy to understand yet thorough explanation about my options, and timely service, I couldn’t have been more pleased!

Marilyn Hayden

15:52 06 Jul 21

Eric carefully listened and he did not make me feel stupid when I was explaining my car's problems. He really took the time to explain the diagnostic, what to expect and what was wrong after their diagnostic as well as carefully detailing the upcoming expenses. I did not feel like I was getting duped into paying for more maintenance than my car actually needed. I also got this super helpful report post-fix . I have a 12yr old Chevy Colbalt that had Solenoid issues and I will absolutely come back for any other issues and oil changes!

Sara Harrison

11:35 12 Jul 21

I've been a Murphy's customer for 2 years and appreciate the quality of their work, being able to book appointments online and the way they communicate detailed reports including pictures via text and email. 6 weeks ago, we purchased a used car as a private sale for my 16 year old daughter. The seller did not disclose a major issue with the vehicle. The owner likely played DIY mechanic lifting the car misplaced a jack on the starter. The weight of the vehicle caused the starter to break off part the engine block leaving only 1 screw for the starter to adhere to the engine block. The starter was held in place with one screw and the car ran for 2 weeks. Murphy's creatively designed a mold of the missing piece of the engine block and clamped it in place. This ~$400 fix is working 3 weeks later and my daughter knows she can always stop in. I will never do a private party sale again but, if this fix works, we will have a running vehicle. Murphy's has a customer for life.

Had my wife's Subaru in for brakes and air conditioning work. They had it in more quickly than anticipated and quickly diagnosed the problems along with a courtesy check of all the vehicle's systems. Needed repairs were completed at a competitive price. No pressure to do additional or unnecessary work. Highly recommend.

For the times I have had my car serviced at Murphy's, it has been thorough. I like that they provide updates and take photos of areas of interest, as well as listing future possible maintenance that would be beneficial. They never pressure me into getting things done all at once if there are multiple issues, and help me prioritize what can't wait. Happy to have this place as my go to now!

I am extremely happy with Murphy's Auto Care. Another shop in the area recommended them to service my Infiniti G37X. The extensive diagnostic that they ran on my vehicle, found the problem that I've been dealing with since buying the car used in December 2018. When the car would get very wet after a day or two of rain, it simply would not run properly. By the time shops took a look at it, it would be dried out, and would be running properly again. Murphy's Auto Care took the time to run their own thorough and complete diagnostic, to evaluate my engine including the vacuum systems and air filtering systems. Because of the issue they found during their diagnostic, my car is *finally* repaired and it has not ran better since I've owned it. I highly recommend Murphy's Auto Care for their professionalism thoroughness and processes. Thank you so very much!

We cannot thank Murphy’s Centerville location enough for their help last week! At the end of a 650 mile trip to bring our daughter back to UD for the semester, we started to notice a slight shimmy at low speeds in our Hyundai Sonata. After being turned away by two local dealerships (one of which could fit us in if we stayed in town for 2 weeks), Murphy’s agreed to take a look at our vehicle on a busy Friday. We had to borrow a vehicle to move our daughter into her dorm, but Murphy’s was able to diagnose the problem as a tread separation in a rear tire that could have resulted in a tragic accident on the interstate on our return trip. We were able to pick up our car with 4 new tires and an alignment by closing that day for our trip home.

I have used Murphy Autocare for tire installation and balancing for a few years on multiple cars and have always been pleased with their service. Today we found out that their balancing machine would not work properly with the wheels on my 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HC Dual Rear Wheel truck due to something the depth of the wheel. This was the first time that they've had a truck with this configuration in for tire mounting and balancing. They were very professional with mounting the original tire back onto the first wheel attempted, loaded the six new tires into the bed of my truck and made suggestions for other shops in the area equipped for larger trucks.

As always excellent service and speedy! I love the detailed report that comes with any service, it includes pictures, which is helpful in helping me understand if there’s a problem. Customer service is always polite and upbeat. You will not be treated like, just another number. The free pick up and delivery and the transport to and from the vehicle’s location is a great bonus. Lastly, the shop is very well kept and clean unlike many other repair shops i’ve used in the past. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!

Murphy’s will always be my first choice when my car needs any service…they are honest, dependable, personable, professional, and the work they do is the highest quality! They went the extra mile to fit me into their busy schedule, and I feel confident knowing my vehicle is getting the best care! You can’t find better service…highly recommend!

We had always taken the Jeep elsewhere but had seen the level of service decline. We took it to Murphy's and they discovered a number of areas that had been neglected previously. They made the repairs in a reasonable time and at an appropriate cost. Eric kept us up to date at all times along with detailed and accurate repair costs. Bo, the technician, provided detailed information and pictures of all areas being repaired (a first for us). The repairs were performed properly and the vehicle was as clean or cleaner when I picked up as when I dropped it off. The facility is very clean and professionally managed. I highly recommend Murphy's and wish we had begun taking the Jeep there long before we did.

My wife went to the shop with my vehicle keys and asked if they could take care of the needed winter maintenance. Murphy's went to my house and picked up the truck, brought it to the shop, did their full assessment with photos, and sent me the report. As I had anticipated, this was going to be more than just a normal oil change since the truck had rolled over 50,000 mi. I called them after reading the report, authorized all the work, and they simply took care of it - everything. When the work was done, they dropped the truck back in my driveway, brought the keys back to the shop, and let me know when it was all complete. My wife went back to the shop to pay the bill and pick up the keys. Ladies and Gentlemen - THIS is what good, old-fashioned customer service looks like! My special thanks to Dave, Jan, Sean, and the whole team at Murphy's Autocare - You guys are the best!
