I called to get an appointment to have an alignment performed on my new tires. I was able to get in right away, in fact he very next morning. Also my vehicle was given a thorough check to see what all would be important to get repaired in order to keep my car maintained well. I was a little surprised of the çost, but I am grateful to have my car safe.

Most professional and one of the friendliest visit to a front-end shop I’ve ever experienced. Clean waiting area, tidy shop space. Got me in on short notice, drove with a tech to get a sense of the noise, repaired the immediate issue quickly, didn’t push me on upselling the other maintenance item they found on…

They were super nice, easy to schedule with, communication was great!

I was first impressed with Oswald Service & Repair back in June (2020) when they very quickly did some repair work in multiple areas on the 2005 Subaru that my teenagers drive. I had shopped around and received quotes from other shops but their quote was the lowest so I went with them. Best automotive repair…

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.
