Always a great experience at Comptons. Austin at the front is always such a huge help and will answer any question you have. Shop dog Cooper is such a good pup!

Great experience from start to finish. The team provided me with constant updates, and presented me with all of my options prior to starting any work. They even provided me with a loaner vehicle while my my car was in the shop and coordinated my appointment with a larger rental vehicle to accommodate for car seats. I highly recommend Compton’s Automotive.

My experience here at Compton was awesome.They treated me very kindly.Because I am a woman.I never felt like they were trying to get over on me . Customer service has always been awesome.I love the cleanliness of the building.I never have a long , wait a lot of the times when I dropped my car off, they have a loner, they can let me use. So I can continue to work. I cannot say enough good stuff about Compton's automotive, I will never go anywhere else as long as I have a car that needs repairing, I appreciate them. I would suggest them to anybody.

I found Comptons while trying to repair my Jeep after getting nowhere with the dealership. They were upfront with me, thorough and truthful in their diagnostics, and extremely courteous and helpful. They did a fantastic job on the Jeep, followed up with me, and I've already recommended their services to two of my friends. I highly recommend them.

The team here was awesome to work with. I dropped my car off first thing in the morning. They gave me a ride to work. Stayed in touch throughout the day on the work that needed to be done. Once my car was ready they offered to pick me up from work. Saving two uber expenses. Great team here!
