Oswald handled my car with care and professionalism. I would highly recommend there team and shout out to Amber.
Oswald Service has a good reputation with some of my friends and I have always been satisfied with everything I have had done there. I trust them to tell me what needs done and know they do a thorough job. I will always rely on them when I need anything done in the future. The people that work there are good people.
I always receive great service.
Needed an emergency repair. Josh worked me in immediately and got me on the road right away. I have never had a bad experience with Oswald's. The above was posted a year ago and I wanted to add to it. I have been a customer of Oswald's for six or seven years. Kevin the owner and Josh the service manager bend over…
Thanks for the great service of replacing our dead battery and the explanation of how the new technology drains the battery, especially when it is not a daily driver. We had already bought a "trickle charger" and hope we can keep the problem under control. The battery was still under warranty and we really…
Oswalds goes above and beyond. I wouldn't go to any other mechanics!
We love Oswald’s! They always do a phenomenal job with any service.
Have been really happy with Oswald's overall, with the exception of an unfortunate incident wherein the back latch on my car was accidentally broken by the owner around mid 2019. It took months to get it fixed due to poor design on Nissan's part, but Oswald's stuck with it and eventually completed and paid for the…
I used to trust these guys to work on my vehicle. Now I am very disappointed. They could not detect a problem I had with trucks battery. I asked them to check out the system for my battery was only a year old. Well their mechanic stated that the battery was from 2019, which was wrong, so the battery was bad. I had…
Great place for all things automotive repair. Friendly staff that does top notch work. Took my mustang in to have some work done and they were very honest with what did and didn't need to be done. Highly recommend
Oswalds has been our goto mechanic shop for a long time. Consistent service, quick, accurate and fair. Can’t ask for more.
I took my truck in to have diagnosed for a fuel system issue. Was told they couldn’t get to it until March 2nd. They had it diagnosed & repaired a week & a half sooner than I was told as well as the repairs were half the price I was quoted! Very satisfied with the prompt service, friendliness & cost savings! I will…
I brought my car in because it had a check engine light. They did diagnostic testing and told me what the problem was. Instead of telling me I needed to do the most expensive thing they told me that my car would drive fine. I could fix that check engine light but it would be expensive. I appreciated their honesty.…
They were very friendly and professional in helping me get my car ready for a road trip I have planned in the fall.
I love taking my vehicle to Oswalds. I know that every time I do my vehicle is in the best hands possible. They are very meticulous in their inspections and they are not pushing for services or repairs that aren't needed. Oswald's is the best in town by a long shot.
Got us in promptly. Text when services were done and ready pick up. Called and asked to confirm work and if any other services was needed. Have been great to work with on our vehicles for several years now.
I’ve taken our vehicles to Oswald’s Service for literally decades. They provide the confidence we need in letting family members drive our sometimes “not so new” vehicles safely. I HIGHLY recommend Oswald’s Service for your auto repair needs!
Been coming to Oswald’s for years now. Only people in town I trust my vehicles and my kids’ vehicles with to take good care of them.
After a snow storm my battery died and the car wouldn’t start. Being elderly I could not handle walking in snow so called Oswald Service asking for help. They sent a courteous man to my apartment and he drove my car in for service. They later phoned and told me the battery was bad but that I had purchased it there…
Oswald’s diagnosed several problems with our minivan and were able to repair the power steering pump, rack and pinion, and several other problems and items that have been lingering with the van. Josh communicated and explained all of the issues and repair work in a timely and professional manner. Thank you!!!
Oswalds has always done great work on my vehicle. I trust them and they are so friendly and professional I recommend them to all my friends. Thank you so much!
Everyone at Oswald's is always courteous and efficient. They are honest in their dealings and take good care of their customers.
Great place to do business. They treat you nice, and take good care of my car
They have done great jobs everytime I've taken my truck there and they find the problem and fix it.
Pleasant, thoughtful and high integrity. Always like how they treat me and the. car🙏♥️
Excellent service I will continue to take my vehicles to Oswald’s
I went to Oswald's for a second opinion on an alignment problem and their quote was nearly half the price of their competitor. I also had a oil leak problem. Their competitor only found one leak whereas Oswald's was able to find three and repaired all three for less than their competitor quoted for one. They gave me…
Love Oswald’s have been using them since I started driving 25 years ago
They replaced my starter. They were fast courteous and friendly. In and out in a day...
Amazing! These guys take the time to get it done right. Will forever be the place I take my vehicles!
These guys are the best bar none! Responsive, honest, dependable and extremely fair pricing compared to other mechanics I have used in the past. Oswald's is my favorite.
Had noisy brakes that I thought were wearing down so I brought my car into to have them inspected. They were very polite and quick with getting it in and looked at. They told me I still have 50% left on them. Any mechanic could have said they were at the end of their lifespan and requested them to be replaced.…
They are always friendly, professional, and do a great job. My car always comes back repaired and smelling nice. They are honest, so they don’t fix something just so they can charge me. The only downside to a great shop is that sometimes I can’t get an appointment right away. However, the last time that happened,…
Great, courteous and efficient in every respect!! Auto service as good as it gets, and the people are the best!!
Oswald repaired my car quickly. They were very friendly and professional. Taking off one star because they were overly eager to sell services I hadn't requested.
Great mechanics and very affordable.
they payed amazing attention to detail and were very cost efficient.
