I've taken my 2014 Ford Fusion to Martin Automotive for a couple years now and every experience with Paul and his crew have been extremely positive. Paul and Karrie are very thorough in their communication and their integrity can't be matched in the Indianapolis area. They're very friendly and have affordable costs. Paul's the type of guy to stretch himself so thin so that others can have what they need. You don't find too many people like him these days. I recommend anyone and everyone in the Indianapolis/Broad Ripple/Fishers area to get their car taken care of by Paul and his crew at Martin Automotive. I've now moved to Florida and started a new life in a new city and will have to find a new automotive business. (btw no car issues the whole way here. Doing great down here!). I'm so sad to leave this business and these awesome people behind. Tell Lexi I said hi. Give her a treat for me too :) Best, Grace M.

Looking for an honest, kind mechanic? Martin Automotive is the place for you. I had taken my car to a different corporate owned place to have an opinion and estimate done for an “airplane sound” I was having during acceleration. After inspection, the other place said I needed all four wheel bearings replaced and quoted $2700-2800 for the work. My gut and google research told me this was way too expensive, so I sought a second opinion. My colleague suggested Martin Automotive and I’m so glad he did! They worked up a quick estimate for the work at about half of what was quoted at the first place, but told me they highly doubted I’d need all 4 done. In fact, I only needed one done and in the end paid less than 1/6th of the original quote from the first place. From the ride to pick up my rental car to the family feel and honesty, Martin Automotive just made a customer for life.

First time customer. Lifetime client! This auto shop is awesome! Remember the good ole days when Dad and Grandpa had that one shop, that worked, harder, faster and was more fair than everyone else? That’s this shop! Took my car in for a full brake job. I had gotten a quote from a big name tire shop. Did some research and talked to a few people and was eventually referred by a friend to come here. Gave Paul the quote from the big name tire shop. Paul looked at everything that was on the quote list and he told me you don’t need X,Y, Z those parts are fine. Paul was HONEST and that seems to be a hard quality to find these days! Take your vehicle here you won’t be disappointed. The whole staff was great, shop was clean and Lexi (dog) is a sweetheart. Support the locals come get good quality work done! Thanks again :).

  • Matheau Luers

Edit: 9/28/23 - oil change on the truck. Full synthetic, in and out in 30-ish mins, they were as friendly as always. Took them three cars in three days: Oil change on my 2007 Honda S2000. They were awesome, friendly, professional and did a great job! I fractured a Fox 2.0 at the front left of my 17 F150 Limited; they diagnosed it quickly and got me turned around, installing my replacement coilovers and giving it an alignment. Rides like new! Oil change, plugs, and air filters on my wife’s 17 Lexus LS460. They recommended the same OEM plugs that I would have used which made me feel good about them. In and out the same day, 14% cheaper than the dealer and just as friendly! Great folks, the shop is really clean, and I trust them with the cars that I need for my life and that I enjoy running around in.

  • Jeff Miller

I've been in a few times with friends dropping off vehicles as Paul has been their local mechanic for years. The waiting area is great! With TV, WiFi, comfortable furniture, free snacks and soda/coffee, it's only a fake egg short of a continental breakfast. I.e. better than any dealership I've sat in. The guys there took care of me today by replacing the brakes on my truck at a very reasonable price. The brakes work now and that's what matters. Safety first, but the creature comforts are nice. Eavesdropping while waiting I heard Paul explain to ppl multiple times what may be needed later, what needs repaired, and whether anything is a safety hazard/not. Paul looks out for his customers. You can tell by the fact he takes time to read reviews- and respond (!). Can't recommend highly enough.

  • Liz Lima

Wanted to give a quick shout out. AC went out in my mini van (our main family vehicle) and they’re one of the few shops outside the dealership who can service the R-1234yf refrigerant. They fit me in, in between their scheduled appointments for a diagnostic. Sadly it ended up being more than just low Freon but they are honest, upfront, and not pushy at all! They are definitely another go-to auto place for me before I ever even call the dealership. Everyone was courtesy, nice, took their time, explained everything, and promised their quote for 90-days- no thinking about it coming back and suddenly “inflation” hitting within that span. Thank you guys for an honest work!

  • Lee Folger

Whenever I'm considering doing business with a company that I haven't used before, I always do some research. I was pleased find that several of my friends whom I know to be very discriminating shoppers highly recommended Martin Automotive. After my first experience with them, I can definitely see why! What a breath of fresh air! Paul and his team are a group of first class professionals. Honest, knowledgeable, punctual, reasonable in addition to assessing the priorities of repairs for safety and necessity, you just do any better! I'm telling everyone that I know and anyone who asks, to take your vehicle(s) to Martin Automotive.....you'll be glad that you did!

  • Zaelin Goodman

Went in with a car that had a slew of minor repairs needed. They were excellent at communicating the issues as they discovered them, kept me in the loop on the time frame, and gave me extremely transparent pricing every step of the way. The day before I came in to get my car, they discovered an issue that was missed at first inspection and repaired it pro bono. I couldn't be happier with the service they provided. A big thanks to the whole Martin Automotive family, as long as we're both in the Indianapolis area, they've gained a customer for life!

  • Alexis Worl

I went here today because I could not physically remove my extremely rusted and stripped screw from my license plate. The owner and his mother were so kind and helpful. I am a young woman who knows NOTHING about cars and I never once felt scared or taken advantage of which is a rarity nowadays. I will be going back for any and all of my car issues now! If going to the auto shop is a daunting task for you I 100% recommend you give this one a try!!

  • Diego Bolaños

2015 Silverado 1500, This company offers the best trustworthy service any mechanic has to offer. I will always bring my vehicle here for services I appreciate their willingness to go out of their way to find a problem going on with my module system and battery wiring they was very clean with their work im very satisfied and can’t thank them enough the whole crew is amazing people highly recommend this place to everyone with a vehicle!

  • Roger Vail

Every time i have taken my vehicle to Martin Automotive the Quality, Service and Professionalism is second to none. The owner, Paul, makes sure my vehicle is working perfectly before i leave with it. He checks it thoroughly to make sure it is safe for me to drive with my family. Paul goes that extra mile! I drive about 80 miles one way to him. Simply the best! POLITE, HONEST , TRUSTWORTHY Worth the drive!!!

  • todd tiede

First impressions are important. Was taken very good care of at Martin... my vehicle needed some diagnostic services which Martin performed. Came up with a plan and executed it leaving me elated and thrilled to bypass the stealer. Have some more work to do on this vehicle unrelated to this visits issue. I will be back to see the folks in Martin for future concerns and needs. They'll take good care of you!

  • Tyler Boulden

Paul Martin has been servicing my vehicles for the last 18 years. I've had him work on both foreign and domestic vehicles and they've always been repaired properly the first time. He's extremely knowledgeable and takes pride in his work. He's trustworthy and his rates are fair. He's serviced vehicles for my grandfather and father as well and we've never had an issues. I would highly recommend.

  • Donna

You can't find a better Automotive Repair shop than Martin Automotive. Paul, Carrie, Derrick, and staff are knowledgeable, honest, and real good people to do business with. They go the extra mile when it comes to customer service. In the short time that I've been using Paul's shop for automotive services, I have been very pleased and have referred his shop to family and friends.

  • Caylie Rentsch

Really great people to work with! I've taken mine and my husband's car here multiple times and they have been super helpful every time. They are always honest about the work that needs to be done and take the time to explain what the issue is, show me the parts, and tell me how they plan on fixing it. We will continue to take our cars here as long as we're in Indianapolis!

  • Nick Schaller

Strongly recommend anyone looking for a mechanic that you bring your vehicle here. Local, family owned and operated business. Honest, dependable, high quality, the list goes on and on. To make this review short and sweet, you leave Martin Automotive with the feeling that you can tell your friends, "you got a guy." I will only bring my vehicles to Paul at Martin Automotive.

  • John Ooley

Going to New Hampshire Saturday morning and found out on Thursday that the tie rods were bad as well as a locked back brake. They got me squeezed in and were very helpful, informative, and professional. Paul and the crew here are not only good quality mechanics, but very nice people. Will be back in the future(though hopefully not soon). Highly recommend this business.

  • Mandi Iratoo

I had multiple issues with my Honda CRV. I took it to Martin Automotive to have a diagnostic done. Once he figured out what all was wrong he gave me multiple options as to what was most important to have fixed and what could wait until later. They do quality work at a great price! If I need my cars fixed I refuse to go anywhere but Martin Automotive! Its worth it!

  • Keith Smith

Paul has worked on all of our vehicles. The whole staff is very polite, courteous, knowledgeable, and professional in what they do. Great work with a personal touch. Paul personally walked me through the issues we were having to explain exactly what the problem was. He saved us $300 over another local mechanics estimate to fix the same issue.

  • Tamara Price

Found this place at the very last minute and I am glad I did. The service was impeccable, they got my car in and out without any issues and were more than accommodating for me and my son. Their overall 5 star rating is ACCURATE. Will most definitely be referring and using in the future for all of my automotive repairs/maintenance!

  • Samantha Ryan

I've had Martin Automotive work on my car twice, once in the fall of 2021 and again in the summer of 2022. They worked on my front hub bearings of my car and were professional, thorough and really friendly! It can be hard to find an auto shop you can trust but I trust them to work on my car and make sure it's safe and reliable.

  • Jillian Gregory

Paul has taken care of me and my entire family for several years now. I also have referred him to friends and employees. I can't say enough good things about Martin Automotive. Kerrie and Paul are fantastic - they're not only very communicative but also extremely efficient in getting the cars fixed quickly. Highly recommended!

  • Harvey Jefferson

I am a long time customer of Martin Automotive. The reason I stay is not only because of the professional, sincere and genuine work they do, but because Paul and Karrie have become true friends because I have been such a long time customer. Thanks Paul and Karrie for doing what you do for all of us. You're truly appreciated.

  • Alexis Methner

The service provided to me was amazing. They called me before doing any work on my car, and made me feel at ease once they found the root of the problem with my car. I admire their sincerity, honesty, and helpfulness! So thankful my car was in good hands. I will be going back for future work to be done to my car!

  • Lydia Bronner

I think I have already reviewed this place, but I honestly can't rate them highly enough. As a single woman, it's really comforting having a trusted, family-owned mechanic that knows what they're doing. Their rates are reasonable, they have high integrity, they're really friendly, and they give good advice.

  • Ethan Aberg

HONEST MECHANIC! After I moved states away from family friends that have always been my mechanic, I was worried I'd never find an honest fair priced mechanic. This is the place, man did I get lucky. So very refreshing to have a good experience in Indianapolis. Thank you!

  • Sharon Vail

Paul has worked on our vehicles for years, because we trust him as a professional. He always tells us if we need to have something replaced now or "down the road". We have recommended him to other family and friends. He has always been honest and stands behind his work.

  • Drew Kincius

Came in with a busted radiator. They did an absolute perfect job on the repair. Fantastic, friendly service. They went above and beyond to explain the work in detail to make sure I knew exactly what the diagnosis and repair entailed. Would highly recommend to anyone!

  • Rodney Plew (Indypal)

Paul was very up front with me about the problems with my vehicle. He could very easily have taken advantage of my situation but he did not. In fact, he didn't even charge me for looking at it! I finally found an honest mechanic. Thank you, Martin Automotive …

  • Duane Law

Paul replaced the water pump. Did an excellent job and double checked everything to make sure all was good. Even looked things over so I would know of some things to watch for in the future. Very reasonably priced as well. Don't be afraid to take your car to Paul.

  • Rachel Williamson

Took my van to get fixed and he was not only able to get it taken care of in a matter of hours, but was able to give me a better price than the other places I called. He knows his stuff and is such an honest mechanic! If you need some work done Paul is your guy!
