I saw Steve's sign and decided to stop by. I am glad I did. Eric handled everything very professionally and unlike the dealer, they did not try to push for additional tasks. Their pricing is very competitive. We are satisfied that we have found our 'go to' place for auto maintenance and repairs!

Our extended…read morewarranty had just expired, and a friend recommended Swander's to us, so we towed our vehicle there for our first visit. Within 90 minutes, the customer service representative, April, called to inform us that the engine was dead. She also mentioned that the manufacturer had recently added an extended warranty for engine failures. Unknown to us, our engine was still covered under this warranty, and the manufacturer would replace it at no cost. We appreciate the thorough and complimentary service provided by Swander's and April. It's refreshing to find such outstanding service and goodwill in the automotive maintenance industry. We will definitely return to Swander's in the future.

UPDATE TO MY PREVIOUS REVIEW (2014 FORD FOCUS ST):…read more We made four separate attempts to contact the shop, including emails and a phone call. We were ignored until after filing a complaint with the BBB. When we did finally get a reply, it dismissed all concerns and offered no solution. We again responded professionally, hoping for resolution--but were ignored yet again. The lack of accountability and poor quality control is completely unacceptable. We're now stuck with a $467 loss and additional fuel and logistical costs from relying on one vehicle. Avoid Swander's if you expect honest, thorough, or responsive service.
