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 don't know what to say. I've taken all of my vehicles to Oswald Service for many years, even traveling from out of state to take my vehicles to them. We purchased a suburban about 5 years ago. We had it in a few times for electrical problems, including the battery kept dying. We spent a lot of money, yet the…

I will always take my vehicles to Oswalds. They give you an appointment tell you what it will cost and usually get done the same day. If not they will tell you why and it's usually because there is either a lot of work to be done or the parts weren't there when they were supposed be. There is never a lot of cars…

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.
