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…

Oswald's replaced my the latch in my sliding door of my fan very quickly and efficiently. It even cost less then what they quoted me. I've used them for other repairs on my mini van and every time the work has been amazing.

Needed a thorough inspection to diagnose a one-time vibration at highway speeds. Had spark plugs replaced and they checked for error codes that might indicate a misfire and drove vehicle at speed to attempt to recreate the problem.
