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.

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.

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!

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!!!
