The guy who checks you in is so incredibly nice and everyone is so helpful. They make everything easy-whether you’re getting new tires or repairs. Very trustworthy
They did my tires, rims. Balance. I even dropped my truck off and they took me to work there in town. Above and beyond and everyone very friendly and helpful. Will give my business to them anytime!
Great honest service!
Finally!! I found a professional auto repair shop that is trustworthy and very knowledgeable, reliable personnel who explained everything upfront and in my emergency they were kind enough to change my flat tire and get me back on the road I’m very impressed with these guys and I will become a long term customer going forward
Fixed my zero turn mower’s bad tire so fast!! Don’t waste time watching YouTube on how to change your own tire….just use that time driving to Bernhard Auto!
The crew at Bernhard is excellent! I go there for everything from oil changes to having the suspension in my front end fixed. The guys are always in a good mood, provide great service, and genuinely listen to my issues. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a great local automotive service!

As always great friendly service
Always excellent and consistent service provided by both the front desk and the garage. We are long term customers and will always go to Columbia Firestone first before going anywhere else for service to our cars.
Once again the Bernhard Auto Works Team has totally, bent over backwards, to provide what they promised in follow up service to the customer. Thanks Client and Team…
Bernhard Auto Works was a pleasure to work with, I called 15-20 shops to find a one stop shop. They were able to handle every issue from electrical problems, failing suspension, replacing torn weather stripping, tires, ball joints, tie rods, and a fresh oil change. Not to mention were able to get my steering wheel…
My adult children and I all trust our vehicle repairs with Bernards Auto. It is wonderful to have a group of mechanics that you trust to keep your vehicles running well.

High quality professional shop. They have repaired several of my company vehicles and it’s a great experience every time!
Always a pleasure to do business with Bernhard. They are very helpful and detailed oriented. Highly recommend!
I absolutely love the business, Mr Clint always keeps me updated as well as Neil. Literally the beat, took my car in Wednesday night and it was out on Friday. They kept me in touch every step of the way. Love them.
01/01/24- I wouldn't trust my car to anyone else, and I don't. 2/22/21- Add electrical repair to this list. Issues with Smart Junction Box, they found it, fixed it and got me back on the road in no time. 9/30/20: There's nothing these guys can't fix! 2015 Hyundai Veloster, Clint helped me with new wheels and tires,…
Finding a mechanic you can trust is a difficult task these days. My experience with Bernhard a few years ago has solidified my trust in them to do what is right. Forget the excellent quality of work and customer service. Those are just add ons! Trust is my number one reason for taking all my vehicles to Bernhard.
Great service--nice guys. Had a wheel refurbished to remove some curb rash and four new tires installed. Accomplished on time and with quality work. I'll be a repeat customer. Returned for new tire installation. Not disappointed. They were quick, reliable, affordable, courteous and professional!
Wonderful! great staff. Highly recommend.
All excellent. Superb. Outstanding.
Great group if guys that are well educated, caring and professional. If you want a place that will fix the issue correctly on the 1st visit, this is your place.
We have been going to Bernhard for the past few years. They are thorough, honest, and do quality work. Highly recommended
They did a great job! My new tires are wonderful and it really made a huge difference for my truck. Everyone is very friendly and helpful.
From a tractor tire to my SUV tires , I appreciate you keeping me moving!
Bernard Autoworks have been servicing my vehicles for several years. I can count on their prompt timely service or assistance with problems, needing wiper blade replacement due to a sudden icing sleet or a quick check on tire pressure when a sensor alerts. I recommend them highly, they have a work friend named Zeus⚡️
Excellent service and friendly customer service! Thank you.
Clint did a great job working us in and provided details regarding our questions. Would definitely recommend.
Everyone was polite and helpful. The job was completed quickly and with great results!
ALWAYS, great service!
