Our Story

Built by hands that have been doing this for years.

Prime Motors opened in Matthews in 2023. But the question driving every repair is older than the shop: "Would I trust this with my own mother's car?"

The answer to that question is what builds — or breaks — an auto repair business. Most shops in this area are franchise locations, chain stores, or dealerships with corporate scripts and quarterly targets. We're none of those things. We're a family-owned shop where every car that comes in is touched by someone whose name is on the door.

Our master technician has been a mechanic since 2011 — 15+ years of careers spent in European service bays, diagnosing complex BMW, Audi, Porsche, and Mercedes systems where the margin for error is measured in degrees and micrometers. That training translates directly into the work we do on every car, whether it's a 2024 X5 or a 2008 Civic. The same diagnostic discipline. The same factory torque specs. The same standard.

"Would I trust this with my own mother's car?" — the question we ask before every repair.

We didn't open this shop to learn the craft. We opened it to do it our way. Not a corporate showroom — a working garage. The kind of place where the money goes into the tools and the training and the work itself, not the waiting room. You get a real person on the phone. A written estimate before any work begins. The truth about what your car needs — and what it doesn't.

We're ASE-Certified, AAA Approved, and BBB Accredited with an A+ rating. We've earned 4.8 stars across more than a hundred verified Google reviews. We've served thousands of satisfied customers in our first years. None of those numbers happened by accident — they happened one honest repair at a time.

How we run a repair shop.

Three principles that shape every interaction — from the first phone call to the moment you drive away.

01

Tell the truth, even when it's smaller.

A $150 sensor fix instead of a $3,000 rebuild. A "this can wait six months" instead of a panicked upsell. We tell you what your car actually needs — including when the answer is "nothing." That's how we earn the next visit, every time.

02

Quote the job, not the clock.

Flat-rate pricing. Written estimates before any work begins. No "well, it took longer than we thought" surprises on the invoice. You see the number before we touch your car — and that number is what you pay.

03

Stand behind the work.

Every repair carries our 6-month / 5,000-mile parts and labor warranty. If something we touched isn't right, we make it right — no questions, no fine print, no charge. Your trust is the only thing we've got that we can't replace.

By the numbers

The proof is in the paperwork.

What we believe about cars and the people who drive them.

The small commitments that add up to a shop you actually want to return to.

  • Plain English, not mechanic jargon.

    We explain what's wrong in the same words you'd use to describe it to a friend. If you want the technical detail, we have it. If you don't, we won't bury you in it.

  • Photos of every replaced part.

    We document what came out of your car — so you can see for yourself why we recommended the repair. No "trust us" required.

  • Same-day service when we can.

    Most maintenance and many repairs are completed the same day you drop off. When something will take longer, we tell you why — and we tell you up front.

  • Loaner cars and shuttle service.

    Complimentary shuttle within 10 miles. Loaner vehicles available on request. We don't want a repair to upend your day — and the more we can help with that, the better.

  • After-hours key drop.

    If your schedule doesn't fit ours, drop your car off when it does. Secure key drop-box, online intake form, and we'll diagnose first thing the next morning.

  • We remember your car next time.

    Every vehicle we service has a digital history on file — what was done, when, with which parts. So when you come back in two years, we already know your car.

Stop by, give us a call, or just say hello.

Same family, same shop, same veteran hands behind every repair. If you want to talk about your car — or just see what an honest auto repair conversation sounds like — we'd be glad to have you.
