Really happy with my experience at Solar Automotive! I brought my 2024 MINI Countryman S in for an oil change, inspection, and tire rotation, and they made the whole experience so easy.

We cannot say enough about the honesty, reliability and professionalism of Solar Automotive. Unfortunately, we have to leave after six years to care for parents. We can only hope to find a place half as good as Solar!

Tony and the team were amazing. I lost my husband a year ago, but he always spoke highly of everyone at Solar Automotive. So this was all new to me, but they made it so easy and seamless - even when I forgot to inform them about something. I was received with empathy and immense kindness. My car now feels brand-new…

Friendly service. Wait area clean and quiet. Came on referral from family as Solar has reputation for honesty. I almost hate to give these folks a good recommendation because then everybody in town will want to come and I won’t be able to get an appointment! They are so nice to work with.

This is by far the best, most honest, knowledgeable, and fair auto repair shop. I think everyone has had some sort of negative experience at a repair place, but not here. My family has used Solar Automotive several times now. I never feel gouged, pressured, and most importantly they are honest humans. We recently…
