Oswald's Service has always treated me fairly and provides quick turnaround service. And they are honest when they miss a diagnosis and work to resolve the issue.

JUN 2026 - 2007 Honda Pilot. Yup again... Thanks again for putting up with my inner Karen. Josh, Chris, Amber, and Jesse, you guys/gals are awesome. So far no leaks... knock on wood! APR 2026 - Yup!

Great service and quick only issue with all auto places is waiting on parts, but has nothing to do with the repair shop. Also giving 5 stars due to them taking care of my mother's vehicles. How they respect and treat her and each customer says a lot thank you!

Way overpriced! Went in to have one outer tie rod replaced and decided to have them both done. $860. I asked for an itemized bill but did not get one. Took the car to Toyota a week later and a master technician found a loose wheel bearing after a short drive and pinpointed the problem. I don’t believe they took it…

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 always does outstanding work. I had a steering box replaced, oil leaks and the A/C repaired. Everything works great and when I’ve had any issues with repairs they have stood behind their work. Great shop and even better people!

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…

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…
