Loved how transparent they were with my repairs and the surprise repair needed!!
My Corvette needed some wheel work done. Scott's understood the issue, I brought it in, and in a few hours, it was all done. Fast, efficient, competent, all at a price that rivals anywhere in the metro. If you are looking for a shop to service your vehicle, this team is fantastic. Highly recommend.
They were fast, efficient, and incredibly kind—from the woman who answered the phone to Jason, whom I had the pleasure of working with throughout the entire process. The team at Scott’s truly went above and beyond to help me get my rear differential repaired properly and make sure everything was done right. They…
First off, everyone there is absolutely outstanding in their ability to not only fix, but also and most importantly provide an interpretation of your vehicle's actual issues from what you told them. Anything involving "It makes this weird..." or "When I drive it, it does..." can apparently be completely understood…
I will always bring my van here. Great service and great prices!
Very pleased with my first visit here. Inspection was comprehensive, price was reasonable and service was great! I'll be back!
I was recommended by a friend for "Scott's Automotive Services Inc." and now have found mechanics that know what they are doing and very friendly and professional. I will be using them from now on for all my vehicles. I am very Happy their services.... and recommend them ..... Thanks Scott's Automotive, Chris My…
Thank you for the attention to detail you take with each service request I need. This last visit was for a second opinion on a variety of issues. I moved out of town and tried to find a local mechanic. No one I have found is as HONEST, reliable and can get my car in rather quickly than Scott’s Automotive. You can…
Took a real chance when I gave you not only my vehicle, but my wife’s as well🥹 I go with gut feelings as they’re never wrong with me and it has turned Out for the best, at least for now🙏🏼🙂↕️🌅. Thank you so much for checking in with us✌🏼
Scott’s always seems to find time to get your vehicle into the shop in a timely manner to work on it. Have never had a problem with any of their work on our cars. We have been bringing our vehicles to them for years. Our cars, our son’s car and grandson’s car.
Always friendly, reliable service!!
I was recommended to go to Scott’s, actually by a different shop. Scott’s team did a great job on our Silverado. The communication was great and the turnaround was quick. They did such a good job, when I went to pick up the truck, I dropped off our older Explorer for new tires and an alignment. Highly recommended!
Scott's repaired a tire on my Outback much sooner than I expected!
Shop is clean and inviting. Staff was friendly and knowledgable. I had a great experience and would recommend this repair shop to everyone.
Excellent service! Emergency tow, response time very good. Repairs and maintenance taken care of timely dispite their busy schedule. They kept me informed. I am always pleased with their thorough, professional service.
It's running good, curious did you do something with the PVC valve problem, the check engine light was off.
Great customer service. Prompt service. Honest and realistic every time. My parents have been going to Scott’s for over 25 years and I continue even after leaving the Southside.
Honest people, great service.
Very great service. Got my car in very quickly.
Very friendly, knowledgeable, and approachable staff.
Scott's Automotive installed a remanufactured engine in my 2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer in a timely fashion. They kept in touch with me from beginning of the job until the end. My vehicle runs great.
Knowledgeable staff, honest, on time and easy to work with. I’ve been going to Scott’s for years for service and tires. I’ve had 4 different vehicles go through their shop over the years. David W.
AMAZING customer service!!! I have been using Scott’s for all of my cars for over 10 years!! They are easy to work with and repairs are done right in very little time. I refuse to go anywhere else!
I was told by another shop I needed a thousand dollars or more work on my car. I told this to Jason and also told him I had x amount to send because I am on Social Security. He called me within a couple hours and said all I needed was new tires and then called because I had a couple lug nuts stripped. He…
