Been there 3 times this year, 2 different vehicles, only because the service was top shelf and prices better than the dealer.

My dad recommended this place. They're always fast and thorough. Communication is easy and the report they give you is a real plus. Many years and multiple vehicles later and they are still the best.

I have always been pleased with the service from McPhersons. The availability of a loaner is important for me.
Mike Jeays Nov 11, 2021

Dawn Bone Feb 2, 2022
Friendly and fast I was able to book a last minute appointment due to another shop having to reschedule my appointment I will definitely be a returning client
Jennyne Kennedy Oct 10, 2023
Performed a transmission inspection, kept me up to date with what was happening, got me in a day ahead of appointment and were very kind and friendly when I went in to pay the bill. They even had my vehicle towed there and covered the bill and added it to my bill. I’d recommend their services.
Tyler Cole Oct 10, 2023
Great service and attention to detail.
Gilles Chercuitte Aug 8, 2023
I appreciated the communication I received as it was detailed and regular. (Texts and paper) . Spencer at the front desk was courteous and respectful. It took 4 days to get a loaner( car was in shop total 7-8 days) but I was thankful to have it after no vehicle for 4 days. I mentioned to a couple people and they thought the price for used starter and installation was expensive…I’m just trusting McPhersons gave me a honest price as I’m not into cars and mechanical things. Overall my experience was very good.
Janice Gartner Aug 8, 2023
Service was great, they were very prompt with replying to me, and did a great job on my car. They really should use paper floor mats when they get into a vehicle. I did not appreciate the big very dirty footprints on my mats as I just vacuumed it the day before to bring it in! Other than that, very good service!
Colleen Wood Aug 8, 2023
Very professional staff that are willing to help. A friend recommended them and glad that they did. I will also recommended to my friends. Thanks Spencer and staff.
Darlene Kennedy May 5, 2023

Marcus Blaszczyk Aug 8, 2023
Great customer service, easy experience using text or email to see recommendations and approve service.
Kelly Broadfoot Jul 7, 2023
They were able to get me in quickly and repaired the problem sooner than expected. They answered all of my questions (I had a lot) and made the whole process as easy as possible.
Katie Graham Jul 7, 2023
We had a really good feeling about the service done recently while getting a safety and vehicle emissions test done on our car here in Carleton Place. MacPherson's was a great place to go for auto service as the staff were very friendly, honest and professional. Also I was blown away with how clean and organized the whole front office was. Super clean and nicely appointed, with a delightful lounge to sit and wait too! We didn't put the loaner car to much use, yet we really appreciated it's availability also. Highly recommended!
Michelle Jan 1, 2016
Quick service!
chris gabriel Jul 7, 2023
Very organized and professional. Gave me options of what was needed to fix my immediate problem and I decided not to do some work because the car was old and wasn’t worth the expense.
Terry St. Croix Jul 7, 2023
Macpherson’s in Carleton Place is the best place for practically anything to do with a car/truck etc. They are competent, super friendly and accommodating. After years of being a customer with a modern and classic car I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Highly recommended indeed! Two years later I can say the same things over again and I do! They are calm, cool, collected and always with a smile. They stand by their work and that means a lot. A family operation for 70 years. Holy moly! Give them them a try if you haven’t yet.
Anthony Hollenstein Sep 9, 2021
Awesome service across the board. I’ve been burned by others before but macphersons delivered; fast and super friendly service. They didn’t try to talk me into anything unnecessary and understood my needs and budget. Exactly what you want in a garage. Totally recommend!
Moritz Schmidt Jun 6, 2023
They did a lift kit and new tyres on my truck and I couldn't be happier with the results. The truck looks great and drives like factory. Would definitely recommend.
