Customer Reviews

I am currently in Texas and my son is a soldier at Ft.Bragg in Fayetville. Thomas totally exceeded my expectations being that I’m so far away I had no clue what I was in for trying to get my son’s car fixed. He was very helpful, very knowledgeable, and very polite! This is now our mechanic and I wouldn’t trade him for the world!!! Do not sleep on this shop they are bomb!!!

deshaundra washington

Nice to work with. Diagnosed problem, recommended to take to dealership as repair was covered under extended warranty. They were very helpful and friendly and I would feel confident to take my car there again.

Reesa D

Im from Buffalo NY and i was in town for Foxtober fest (Fox body Mustang event) i want to install Magnaflow stainless steel tips but couldn’t find a shop that do it around area. They got my car on short notice and got the job done on a flowless way! Great costumer service!

Carlos Lopez

….following up my review. Joshua is an expert. I consider myself fairly automotive experienced. And, he bull-dogged my problematic issue beyond the call of duty. This goes for his technicians as well. They all seem knowledgeable. With good insight. I’m not a full-time resident. I visit my daughter, here every other year. And these folks stay up to date with me. ‘Sam’ is great to interact with. I have no reservations about continuing my patronage here.

Barry Urias

My family and I were struggling to find an affordable fix for our starter. We called around to many places and this was the only place that was reasonable and helpful. The lady was super sweet and got the car in the same day we called. Great price. Great service. Will always be returning with any issues in the future. Recommend!!

Brooke Cruz

They did a good job on my truck. Had a wheel bearing fail catastrophically resualting in a fire that I regrettably put out. Because of location tire could have expoded. Don’t do that. The repairs are well done and they were on target with the quote. Fast response to Phone calls. I live 5 hours away. Which was painful. If I had a problem I would use them again.

Christopher McGraw

I contacted Thomas about getting the factory exhaust reinstalled on my 2019 Mustang. I purchased the exhaust off ebay and it came to me cut right in a 45* bend. He was very professional as well as came to the table with a great attitude mixed with vast knowledge. I brought the car in and for a very reasonable price James had the exhaust reinstalled on the car like factory. James first brought me to the shop to ensure he fully understood what my request was. They delivered exactly what I had aske

J Smith

And this is the reason why I will ALWAYS go with a Mecanic shop that’s home owned than a dealership. I was quoted a price from the Toyota dealership for my car to be inspected and my Keyfob to get fixed which wasn’t working (dealership said they would have to “reprogram it”) it would cost me about 300.00 dollars???!!!!! I took it to the MonkeyWrench automotive on Ceder Creek and the lady help me out got my keyfob fixed by the way was just a battery issue and got my car inspected for 43.

Eva Peterson

Their service was quick and fast, and they were even knowledgeable about my car because they found an hidden issue I didn’t even know I had! They were able to fix it quick with no problem for a good price. Also were able to mod my car to make it sound a way I wanted it to.

Elisabeth Kirkland

Katie is a sweetheart she kept me updated on the costs and the repairs. The shop is very clean and the mechanics seem to be very knowledgeable. After having multiple people work on my Mustang an no one could seem to figure out what was wrong. Monkeywrench got it fixed. They may be pricey in comparison to other places but remember you get what you pay for. I am extremely satisfied with the work they did my car is driving like new again. Thank you Monkeywrench !

Letizia Green

My experience at MonkeyWrench Automotive was phenomenal!!! I brought a Mercedes Benz here for a pre-purchase inspection. I called last minute, and Dennis was so helpful and squeezed me in as I was on a time constraint with the vehicle. The technician, Josh, was very informative with the report, a wealth of knowledge, and provided important data based on based on his findings. I felt confident with the car because Josh explained the engine and other components to me in layman’s terms. He answered

Chevon Jackson

Jeep began overheating randomly on a road trip. We ended up stuck in Fayetteville. Unfortunately we wasted time with Firestone before we found this gem of an auto shop. Firestone swore up and down there was no leak with our coolant system despite fluid pouring out like a faucet. We took the chance on driving it to Monkeywrench and I am so glad we did. Not only did they figure out it was our temperature valve not opening properly, but they also saw a massive crack in our reservoir. The team was s

Akua DaWolf

I had my exhaust upgraded on my 69 Camaro. The workmanship was outstanding. The welding was professionally done. Customer service is second to none. The shop is clean and neat. I highly recommend them.

taf190

In my experience, it’s very hard to find car repair service that a woman can trust. I am so grateful to have found this business. Jordan explained everything that they would be doing to resolve my car problem and what it would cost and what to expect after. I knew I was in good hands. They fixed my ac unit as well as a few little extra things that I had been procrastinating over. When he told me the total for all of us it, I was so pleasantly surprised. I’d never before experienced a tot

MsJivers

Jordan and the rest of the team were super helpful. I’m not knowledgeable about cars (including my own) so I came in with some simple questions and concerns, and they explained everything in a way I could understand. Service was professional and very quick. I’m glad to know about this shop and will be back.

John Hewitt

Folks, Fayetteville’s hidden gem to get vehicle repairs monkeywrench , check it out you won’t regret it. As busy as they were the wait time was what won me over. Outstanding customer service shout out to Katie and Daniel. Much love ❤️

Horace Jackson

I want to give a 5star + rating to Dennis & Josh. Had them install a reman motor in my 2007 Sierra 2500HD Classic in January 2024. The warranty was a 4 year unlimited mileage which is why they were chosen as the supplier. A long year of oil usage issues and tapping noises when cold and finally using 1/2 quart of oil in 500 miles lead to a discussion between me and Dennis. Since the engine supplier was not cooperating with a resolution of the problem Dennis & Josh honored their part in

Clyde Odom

MWA took the time to discuss my vehicle issue and propose a solution. They were friendly and genuinely concerned about my vehicle fix. They worked with my schedule which allowed for the parts to be ordered and fixed in a timely manner.

Ecclesiastes 3:8

Greatly impressed with Monkey Wrench. Have had several services done. Jordan keeps you updated on what needs to be done, explains charges for the repairs and calls when the work is completed. James is a reputable mechanic. Does what needs to be done in a timely fashion. Their prices are fair and even get a military discount. Will return to Monkey Wrench for future car repairs.

Rita Warren

I have nothing but the absolute best things to say about this company. I got “we can’t do what you’re asking” from 4 other shops prior to coming here. I needed a simple cut and rerouted on the exhaust. The stock exhaust came straight out the back, and I simply wanted the exhaust to exit from the side behind the wheel and add a nice tip to dress it all up. It was only about 8-10 inches of pipe that needed to be adjusted. Anyone with a Toyota 4Runner (Non TRD Exhaust) will understand that the stoc

Sean Callahan

I called them last min for a multi point inspection before I was set to leave for a cross country road trip. They made time for me right away and inspected my suv. Thanks a lot!

Arjun Moger

Monkey Wrench Automotive is hands down the best in the business! Their honesty, expertise, and top-notch service set them apart from the rest. I trust no one else with my vehicle—these guys know their stuff and always go the extra mile to make sure everything is done right the first time. If you want reliable, fair, and skilled mechanics, this is the place to go. Highly recommend!

K V

Best shop in town!!!! Took my vehicle there for the check engine light. Monkey wrench did a diagnostic test and showed me exactly what was wrong with my vehicle and suggested what I should attack first. I gave the ok and the parts for my vehicle was ordered, delivered and fixed the same day!!! Courteous staff extremely professional great service reasonable price just all around the best shop for car repairs!!

Tariq Patterson

This is a high quality automotive shop in town. These guys are such a nice people and they did excellent work replacing ball joints on the axle. Josh was honest and transparent, which I highly respect and appreciate. Katie at the front desk communicated with me throughout the process so that I wasn’t kept in the dark and she also was honest and transparent. Shop was very clean and they have plenty of spaces to accommodate customers inside and their vehicles in the parking lot. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Robert Kim

Monkey Wrench on Cedar Creek Road in Fayetteville, NC will always have my business when it comes to vehicle repairs. And Ms. Katie was amazing to work with in person and on the phone. She got my truck fixed with a major repair quickly and professionally in one day!!!! I expected it to be a couple of days before the problem to be diagnosed and fixed. She called me the same day my truck was towed there and told me the issue. When I said ok and please proceed with the repairs, she said I will see y

Jenny Washington

Not from here and they treated me with so much respect and really didn’t beat my head in about the work that was being done on my truck like shops normally does because of the type of vehicle I own the customer service was excellent Katie was great company and really helped my wife and I she also went the extra mile just from the kindness of her heart and priorities what I would need done next to help me on my travels I believe found a decent shop that I wouldn’t mind taking my vehicle to a

Denise’Mariah Woodson

I was referred to Monkey Wrench last summer. James (mechanic) was highly recommended by a mutual friend. Prior to booking an appointment, James took the time to listen to the issues on my vehicle over the phone. I also spoke with Jordan, to book my initial appointment. Jordan was also very knowledgeable and pleasant. I brought recommendations from a competitor to James’ attention. With thorough inspection, James told me the services that were not needed. This saved me a few thousand dolla

Christi Duran

The fuel pump went out on my work van. One call to James at Monkey wrench on Bragg blvd. And he had my van towed in and back on the road in no time. I never missed a service call. Good man

Terry Shea

I recently had my 2020 Honda Pilot serviced at Monkey Wrench,and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. They repaired my horn quickly and efficiently, diagnosing the issue in no time. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, taking the time to explain the problem and the solution.

Claretha Mckoy

Quickly diagnosed issues with my vehicle that needed immediate action. Gave me options and kept me updated through repair processes. Very nice people at this shop and did a excellent job. Will come back here for any vehicle related issues without hesitation.

Christian Krause

James took care of an electrical issue I was having in my 46’ Ford. I couldn’t have asked for better service and outcome! They will be my go to shop from here on out.

Alexander Herrera

I went to MonkeyWrench on Bragg to install an after-market rear axel back exhaust on my Ford Mustang. They took a look at everything and gave me a estimate. I gave the go ahead and they did all the work within an hour and half while I waited. The exhaust system sounds much better and I could not be happier. All of the personnel at MonkeyWrench were courteous, professional and honest. I would certainly recommend them for work on your car.

Joseph Edwards

The staff at Monkey Wrench were professional friendly and knowledgeable. So far they have performed two major repairs on separate vehicles for me both with excellent results. James took extra time and effort to explain various options available during the projects to insure I would be satisfied with the outcome and Jordan kept me posted on the progress. Monkey Wrench will definitely be my “go to” shop for future automotive repair needs.

Robert Kringel

I always enjoy coming here. I came in recently to get a state inspection done and I was literally in there for about 25 minutes, if not less! I was very shocked how fast they got me in and out. Friendly staff and very professional. I also appreciate how clean they keep the place (which is something I look for in businesses). Keep up the great work guys!

K W

Just wanted to thank the MonkeyWrench (Cedar Creek) for an awesome job in fixing my car. This is the second time I have brought my car to the location. Each time the turn around was in less than 6 hours. I truly did not expect to see my car for two days. Their work is exceptional. Thank you!!

Jeffrey Fitton

Josh is an honest and great person to deal with. His muffler technician is beyond incredible and will always get my business and anyone else I know that needs amazing work done !

Donald Helfgott

My wife took her 2017 Escape to MonkeyWrench. Where we spoke to Josh and we both had a good experience. He kept my wife informed of what was going on with her vehicle which they took no time getting the car in and doing the diagnosis. Within 1hr after getting the vehicle towed to his business. We really appreciated his honesty and will be taking My 2005 pt Cruiser in for repairs. With that being said I highly recommend this business. If you don’t wanna get ripped off. Keep doing what you do Jo

reeso1968

Very honest business and took care of me immediately. Will continue to work with them. Update I had an issue with my vehicle unrelated to the work they did and they went above and beyond to take care of me. This is a great shop with amazing people and good customer service. They work with the customer schedule and are very understanding. They have provided me the best service in town so far. I refer them to anyone and everyone.

M Fig

Absolutely Top notch. Josh and his crew truly cared about getting my vehicle taken care of no matter what the issue was. They do not shy away from taking the hard to figure out issues. Totally satisfied!

Greg Green

They did a great job with my vehicle and I really enjoyed the professionalism when I spoke with everyone there. Definitely helps when you have people who can relate to your situation and help make you laugh. A big plus when it comes to courtesy. Highly recommend

Freeman Williams Jr

Josh, owner of Monkey Wrench, is very professional in his automotive business. The staff is very friendly and I would recommend Monkey Wrench to everyone who needs a mechanic. They never start on any work until they’ve received permission from the customer. Great people, and excellent service!

Sistah Dee

Monkey Wrench Automotive saved us. We were traveling and started having to add air to our tire repeatedly. We stopped at Monkey Wrench Automotive and they were able to fix the puncture in our tire that had been pierced by a 2-inch screw within a very short time and charged us a very low price for their work. These are great people, and we are so glad we found them. If you are in the Fayetteville, NC, vicinity, you should definitely check them out for your automotive needs.
