Real Diagnostics. Real Fixes. Zero Guesswork.

Hewitt's highest-rated auto repair shop, trusted by fellow mechanics for complex electrical work and thorough craftsmanship.

About Us

When other shops hit a wall, they call Motorheadz Garage. That's not a boast, it's something a fellow shop owner in town actually said in a review, and it tells you everything about what Matt and Pete have built on Union Valley Road in Hewitt. A 4.9-star rating across 72 reviews is hard to fake, and these two have earned every fraction of it.

Matt's reputation as an electrical diagnostics specialist sets the shop apart in a real way. Chasing down intermittent shorts, decoding complex module faults, untangling wiring harnesses that stumped three other garages, that's the kind of problem he actually enjoys. Bring in a neglected used car loaded with deferred maintenance, and you'll leave knowing exactly what was wrong and exactly what was done about it.

Pete and Matt run a tight operation out of Suite C in Hewitt, open Monday through Friday so working adults can plan around a predictable schedule. The shop doesn't chase volume. It chases quality, and the customers who find it tend to stay for life.

What We Offer

Motorheadz Garage handles the full range of automotive repair and maintenance, from routine oil changes and brake jobs to the complex diagnostic work most shops quietly avoid. If your check engine light has been on for six months and two other shops handed it back unresolved, this is the right call.

Electrical diagnosis and repair is the shop's signature strength. Electrical faults, faulty sensors, CANBUS communication errors, dead modules, and wiring issues that defy a basic code reader are all in-house specialties. Beyond electrical, the team performs suspension and steering repairs, cooling system service, timing and engine work, pre-purchase inspections, and comprehensive deferred-maintenance catch-up jobs on vehicles that need a full reset.

Every job is communicated clearly before work begins. No surprise line items, no upsells you didn't ask for. Just an honest assessment, a fair price, and a car that leaves in better shape than it arrived.

"Matt and Pete have been amazing to deal with. I purchased a new to me used infiniti that needed some TLC from the previous owners neglect. All problems/ issues with my car were resolved in a timely manner, done right the first time, and they did not pressure me to fix what wasn’t broken. They addressed all concerns and really went above and beyond . I always drive away feeling that my money was well spent and the service provided was better than i could hope for. So far they replaced my radiator, heater core housing,front suspension, electrical work, brake rotors/ pads, oil change/ filter, new Toyo tires all around, a broken fog light, new bulbs for fogs/ headlights and aligned the headlights along with a rear sway bar and end links with wheel spacers. My car not only runs better but looks and handles better on the road. I also would like to add that the front fender liners were missing all grommets that hold them in place so they don’t rub the tires from the previous owner. I never brought this up to them because i was going to buy them myself down the road. When i got the car back from having the front struts and all that done I noticed the grommets were installed. They never mentioned they did it but i know they did and it was well appreciated and thats the extra step they take. Sometimes it’s the little things and they definitely notice them and do them. Thanks guys for all your help i know my cars in good hands and will use you in the future!"
