About us

An Auto Repair Shop Built on Honesty

Jarred Mason started Mason Automotive in his home garage, treating every customer’s car the way he would treat his own. Word spread, he left his full-time job, and the shop opened in March 2021. After outgrowing the first location, we moved to a larger shop in December 2022. Today we are a full-service auto repair shop in Bloomington, and the idea behind it has not changed: one honest evaluation at a time.

Before finalizing my purchase of a used car, I told Jared about the top 3 cars on my list. He strongly advised against the 3rd one, and then made room in his schedule to inspect my top pick. The inspection was thorough, timely, and provided the information I needed to close the deal. I highly recommend Jared and his team!

Where do I begin!! Paul was absolutely amazing!!! My daughter at college was having an issue with her car, Electrical Safety issue. Looked online for a garage near her, found Mason automotive. 5 stars reviews, they were highly recommended. Mason automotive went above and beyond! I cannot be happier with their service, pricing and professionalism and most importantly their honesty. Paul kept me informed with everything. Between Paul, technician and the owner they figured out the issue. I felt very confident they would do a great job from the beginning just by speaking with Paul. Being several hours away I needed to be able to find a place that would find the issue, fix it, make sure it was safe and not take me to the cleaners. I highly, highly recommend Mason automotive! Give Paul a call if you have any issues with your car. You will be very happy!!!

Masons tool my truck in because it failed to start I put a new battery in still wouldn't start I just figured not the battery most likely the starter? Masons said it could be the starter, ignition or battery cable. They said a starter would run 1200 dollars if that's the problem. It was decided to try the cable first and once replaced it continued to start daily for the next week or so. So far a week later still seems ok. Just wanted to thank Masons for being honest and saving me some money.
