Contacted Paul to inquire about some estimates for rebuilding a GM 3.1L engine. Decided to go for it. Sadly, the engine needed A LOT more then we both expected, but Paul and his staff did a good job. It took a few months to get done but it runs like new. I went back 2 different times for small things, and also got a lot of "general" repairs done. Its the type of place that has 100 cars on the property and is full of parts and everything you can name for any kind of car. Paul is easy to talk to and knowledgeable. Not sure if the prices are fair as I've never had this type of work done, but it doesn't look easy. If I needed this type of work again, I'd go back.

Beware!!! Did not have a good experience with Mardinly's. Brought my Mother in law's 94 Lexus there for work. My normal mechanic recommended them. Bad decision!! They always kept the car way longer then planned or expected (two weeks the first time). Also, were hard to get a hold of many times and never kept me updated on what was going on. The story goes: They replaced the power steering pump that was bad. Ok! Then the steering rack because the wheel was still so hard to turn with new pump. Fine! When I picked it up Dave said may be a slight leak from pump or rack, drive it a week or so and bring it back in. Definitely leaking...so brought it back. Said it was fixed after having the car longer then planned again! After awhile we noticed fluid was low again and pump noisy. Brought it back in again and now Dave said the power steering lines had been damaged and now leaking under the car somehow. Said that my Mother in law must have ran over something. Not sure how the lines could have been damaged when they are up in the engine compartment and there was no other damage to the car and it also had the plastic water deflecting shroud protecting it????Whatever, so he repaired them. And guess what! Sure enough there was still a leak after we got it back again.... wonderful!!! Brought it back AGAIN! Supposedly they fixed it. NO! Still Leaking. Finally we got smart and brought it to the Lexus dealership. The mechanic there while checking some other minor things out, found the power steering pump was where the leak was coming from. Even sent me a video of it leaking and said its going to need to be replaced. Now I'm going to have to pay to replace the pump again a little over a year later!!! Wondering if the leak all along was the aftermarket pump they installed.... So I called Mardinly's back and told them the news. Now this leak was going on for almost a year with all the work, return trips to fix the leak. Now if they determined the leak the many times they had the car, the pump could have been replaced under warranty. Well now, because it's been so long, they said the pump is out of it's 1 year warranty and there is nothing they can do for me after all that hassle and wasted time and over $2,000 later. Dave never spoke to me, I was told by the secretary....what great customer service. ? Obviously would not recommend!!

I don’t know any other shop I could’ve took my 14-year-old Chevy Tahoe for electrical repair. The dealerships were scratching their head trying to figure it out. Mardinly Enterprises had it fixed in one day. The price was exactly what I expected to pay. No surprises.
