Thank you for trusting your vehicle with us! Your Cadillac looks great after all the work you wanted done. Always here to help
Stan, Alex and the crew fixed my check engine light issue by resolving the problems that caused codes. Great job, thank you. 👍
- Price assessment: Great price
Called around and this was luckily for me the only place who could get me in same day, they had my car ready for me same day and I was expecting to pay double of what I did pay so that was also a pleasant surprise. Replaced something that was old (needed to be replaced anyways) as well as the actual issue which was the alternator. Everyone was very nice and efficient! Couldn’t be happier with the job! And they checked all my fluids which was great because I would have never done that haha.

I want to let you know that Stan is a fantastic auto body. I sent all my friends to him because I love the work that he does on my car.
I started going to Stanley about a year ago. It's takes some time to build trust, but after a few visits my review is that they're honest and have the skills to do the job right. Good marks for responsiveness and communication. I highly recommend!

I had taken somewhat of a risk and impulsively purchased a 26-year-old Toyota Corolla a couple of weeks before taking it to Stanley's. It needed inspection stickers, but more importantly I felt like it needed a professional look, aside from what I could see and figure out myself on the surface of the car. It had been a while since I had taken one of my previous cars to other shops, which I had bounced between for multiple reasons and dreaded. I decided to try going with Stanley's this time around because it was the nearest option and I saw that they have overwhelmingly positive reviews on Google. I dropped off my car on a Monday at around 5PM. On the next day at around noon, Alex had left me a voice message explaining exactly what needed to be done to the car along with the total price. I was able to pick up my car later that same day at around the same time I had dropped it off the day before. Thankfully, after the shop looked at my newly purchased car, it turned out that all it needed at the moment was new front brakes and a coolant flush. This shop didn't try to sell me on anything extra, yet they were able to address some of my concerns about the car that were unrelated to the work done. The interaction with the staff was friendly and professional. The price was very reasonable and my experience dealing with this shop was very positive overall. I will definitely be returning to this shop and I will recommend it to others.
