Sanford Auto Service has consistently been good to me since I started going to them for my car issues. When my car’s AC needed replacement last year, Tracy was especially helpful in diagnosing and resolving the issue. Work was completed in a reasonable time for each issues, and subsequent maintenance and repairs have performed reliably.
2nd visit for maintenance. Very pleased with the work and the price. Excellent Mom and Pop business since 1956 I believe. I highly recommend them.
I just want to repeat my pleasure with The Sanford Auto Team, from Tracy to all the Techs that work on my car. See my review from 7 months ago. Your work is excellent and you can tell you pay attention to detail. Your labor and parts costs are always competitive. I like working with an Independent Team instead of…
Had a minor issue after a semi-expensive repair but they got it right back in and fixed it quickly for no additional charge. 100% satisfied.
I’ve been using this shop for a few years now and I keep coming back because I have full trust in them and have always received an honest answer on my car that is at 101,000 miles. Even the times I shop around they seem to be the most reasonable.
I relocated back to texas and was having slight issues with my BMW that was fixed prior to moving here. After research and finding they were a authorized napa car care center and would honor any of the previous works warranty they got me in. Quickly found my issue and a day later i had my baby back. Tracy was…

My issues with this shop: The parts they recommended where really expensive. Once the work I requested was done, they called me to give…
Very kind and professional, knowledgable, and prompt. They gave me rough timeframes and were very on point- although my vehicle was more expensive to repair than it was worth, i got great service and thorough explanations on the diagnosis. Great crew would take there any day
Excelente service very professional and responsable people. No expense for the work you need.
Working in San Antonio but live in Houston, someone tried to steal my truck and damaged the key ignition they made room for me to get me back on the road I highly recommend using their services.
I do a lot of my own work but take my vehicles here when the task is beyond my ability or comfort level. They have solid mechanics with a speedy turnaround and very fair prices for their high quality work. I won't be going anywhere else.
I have been talking my cars and trucks to Sanford for the past thiryfive years. The service has always been excellent . Steve and his crew are old school mechanics. They can fix anything . I highly recommend them for your auto repairs.I will always use Sanford Auto Service .
I’m a new resident to San Antonio, I was looking for a reputable car shop in the area for my wife and I and we found Sanford. Got my car in two days after I called. The day of they diagnosed the problem AND fixed it all in the same day. Gave me a 20% discount for being a new customer and explained everything they…
