Matt's Air Conditioning Radiator - Dallas, Texas

Sharhonda D.

This Macanic deserves no stars. My boyfriend took his car up there because he had a wiring issue And Matt said that he can fix the issue. When my boyfriend first got there Matt begged him to walk across the street to the store to buy him some beer then asked him to go again for cigarettes. Matt charge him $350 to not fix the problem He kept the car for four days. He never fixed the issue. The car will not stay running. The windows will not let down and the radio will not come on. my boyfriend asked him for some of his money back because he didn’t fix the problem. He told him no he’s not giving him his money back. My boyfriend took the car to another shop, the shop charged him $600 because they had to redo Matt work. Matt had all the wires on backwards and some of them was crossed up. Please if you want your car done right and not just him taking your money don’t go to him. He would act like he fixing the problem and he never really is and then he will not give her money back if the job is not right.

ISSUE- Not blowing cold air, sounded like a muffled noise

I found Matt thru word of mouth from a friend of my father. I left my car with Matt so he could properly diagnose my car and after a few hours, he called me and advised me what he found. He systematically explained in layman’s terms what he needed to do to get my car fixed and asked me to approve the work before he started. He gave me an estimate and also gave me less expensive options regarding the cabin filter. My car needed a recharge of freon, replacement filter, and apparently the previous place that worked on my car doubled capped my valves which cause a small leak over time. He said that he didn’t think it was the compressor but advised me to keep an eye on the air flow. Everything cost about a couple hundred bucks.
When i picked up my car he provided a detailed receipt, which I appreciate because I like to keep meticulous records on the work completed on my car and also explained that he topped off the fluids. He did a basic multipoint check on my tires and brakes which i thought was great customer service. I will definitely continue to see Matt and drive 40 miles from Little Elm to Oak Cliff just to have him work on my car. He also does other auto repair and i possibly need my struts replaced so I will write another review and let you know how it goes!

Only thing I caution you about is to make sure you actually go and see Matt. His shop is a shared building with another completely different mechanic and when i pulled up to his shop for the first time, the other mechanic was waving me into his bay. Matt’s shop is on the left and it is painted a light green. I thought that was very shady behavior on part of the other business.

Needed r1234yf in my 2017 Land Rover. Matt was very knowledgeable and very nice. He ran into some unexpected issue and instead of charging me extra he gave me a discount for the taking longer than expected. Couldn’t recommend his business more. Thanks Matt!

Had to get my a.c. fixed on my 2005 Honda Accord. Went to Matt's first for an estimate and he showed me what was wrong and what would need to be replaced. He gave me a few estimate options depending on what he would end up fixing. Took it to another shop and they agreed with what Matt had said and gave me their estimate, which was considerably higher compared to Matt's estimate, so I went with Matt. He was very knowledgeable and amiable, and I felt comfortable letting him do the work. He kept in touch with me regarding the fix and was able to get it everything done in the time he promised. It was a bit of a wait getting in, but I think he's just there by himself and it was only about a day or 2. The final cost was a little bit more than his initial estimate, but it was still pretty close and definitely a fair price for the work. This was about a month ago, and my a.c. is still blowing ice cold. Very satisfied. He can talk your ear off if you let him, but he's usually pretty funny

Please avoid using this place. I went to get my AC looked at and was quoted $1300 for a new AC compressor. Got a second opinion and paid $65 for an AC service. My AC has been working like a charm for months now (I specifically waited to post this review to confirm a service was all that was needed). Sketch and scammy. Stay away.

Matt has worked on my families vehicles for decades. He used to be in charge of making sure the emergency response vehicles of the city of dallas where in top condition. I've never had to bring something back for anything. He's very meticulous - does the best job he can - every single time. He's a wealth of knowledge and will always give you his honest opinion. One of those rare bread of mechanics.

One man shop that does things however he wants. Had my car, in the morning said he would call back shortly, ended up calling me at 9:30 PM. Said he would call me back the next morning to confirm cost before starting, but salls me after 10PM that night, telling me the car is fixed and he needed me to come then to get the car. I live 30+ minutes away. Pain in the neck to deal with.

BUT, if you don't mind the way he runs his business, he did fix the problem. Not cheap, but did a good job on the van.

He wasn't a man of his word. He quoted me on an AC repair of $350-$450, after running his diagnostic check. He ended up charging me $673.85 and never fixed my AC. I had my family with me, so I didn't want any problems. He got belligerent with me for disagreeing with the service rendered. He said he gets a lot of good reviews and that ppl like me come and go. I'm actually someone who believes in doing good business, both ways.. and Matt.. he's not someone who handles business in a good way. He does not take debit, credit, or anything plastic. He'll brag about how he is the best, and you'll actually feel confident about his work. He is long-winded, and talks methodical mechanic talk knowing that you are not an expertise in this subject to lull you away from getting to the point. He wasn't professional and truly treated me as one of a hundred who don't really matter because he has ninety-nine others left. He cheated me, and I dont believe in talking negative abt anyone. I hope maybe an honest review will help the reader understand that Matt knew better, but he didn't act on what him and I both knew was right: and unless his heart changes, his smooth talk will never change how he views customers. I learned a lot from this experience. It wasn't good. But it was good for me to go through it.
