I had a failed windshield washer fluid pump on my '14 Ford Focus while on vacation here with my…read morefamily. The local Ford dealerships couldn't help me in the time I was around. When I called CW on New Year's Eve, they told me to come by the next day. They'd be there at 9 AM. I asked if they were aware that was New Year's Day. They were. I brought it in that morning and they looked at it, determined that the pump was bad and we agreed for me to come back in two days. Short take, they were willing to work with me on fixing my problem while I was on vacation and were reasonably priced. Let's hope I never have another car issue while on vacation here. But, if I do then I will come back here and recommend that you do as well.

Very nice, very well priced and very accommodating. The building was a little hard to find and not particularly slightly, and they didn't quite have a great area to wait, but I would definitely still recommend them!

Use extreme caution with this shop. This isn't a one-off complaint--it's a pattern I've watched…read moredevelop. My employer and I used this garage for years for routine maintenance with generally acceptable results. Since they opened a second location, the consistency, transparency, and pricing have changed in ways that are hard to overlook. A company vehicle was returned to us with a stripped drain plug and an active oil leak after service. That's not a minor oversight--that's a fundamental failure. Soon after, I requested a quote for front brakes only on a 2021 Hyundai Palisade and was given an estimate of roughly $1,600. I sourced a complete upgraded brake set myself for $397 and completed the job without issue. Draw your own conclusions from that gap. Most recently, I brought in my wife's Subaru for tires, an oil change, and a noise diagnosis. The tires were installed, but the oil change and diagnostic were completely missed. I was told it "wasn't on the work order" and asked to bring the car back. That's a basic process failure. After returning the vehicle, I was told the issue was front wheel bearings and advised to replace both--quoted at approximately $1,000. I purchased the parts myself for $178, and standard labor time for this job is widely understood to be around 1.5 hours per side. When I asked for a clear breakdown of how that estimate was calculated--parts, labor hours, and rate--I was told their system could not provide that level of detail. That answer alone is concerning. If a shop can't explain how a four-figure repair is priced, that's a problem. At this point, the pattern is hard to ignore: Work not completed as requested Pricing that does not align with commonly accepted parts and labor ranges No meaningful transparency when questioned I have no issue paying for quality work. What I will not accept is unclear pricing, missed work, and answers that don't add up. If you're considering this shop, do your homework before approving any repairs. Take a few minutes to verify parts pricing and standard labor expectations. Without that, you may not realize how far off a quote actually is. Based on multiple recent experiences, I will not be returning.

My son's civic was overheating so I brought it into Route 11 to get checked out. I let them know…read morespecifically what diagnostics had been run at a previous shop before my son left for JMU, but they said they had to run (and charge) for their own diagnostics. I get that, so I agreed with the assumption they could resolve the issue. After review, they advised me the wrong coolant was in the car (which I have trouble believing because I've always bought the same coolant and never had an issue), they advised a coolant flush was needed, they said the fans were not working, and they let me know that there was an unrelated power steering leak. Additionally, they recommended I replace the upper and lower radiator hose. They said these were not an issue, but it was probably about time. I agreed to let them do everything except the upper and lower hose being they said they were fine and not leaking. I also agreed to a dye test which included putting dye in the power steering so they could find a leak. All of this was to the tune of roughly $1,000. A few days later they said it was ready and my son picked it up. I asked him what they said about the dye test and he said they did not say anything about. I called the shop and was told, oh yeah, he should bring it back in a few days so we can see if the dye is leaking. Unfortunately, I only found out about this because I called back in. Then a few days later the car was overheating again. My son takes it back and we are told the issue is the upper and lower radiator hoses. I asked how they were fine a few days ago when they were just a "recommendations" (that I declined), but now they are the root cause of the issue. They told me they watched it and now they see after it's been on a long time the hoses swell and leak. The explanation did not sit right with me, but I'm hours away and my 18 year old son needs his car so I let them do it for another $350. However, unfortunately again, my son drives 4 hours home a few days later and the car overheats. The shop texted me and called me that day asking how it was going and wanting me to come back and get some other work done. I responded it wasn't going well and the car was overheating still. I sent them photos of the coolant under the hood, but they stopped responding. I took it to a shop locally and they diagnosed it as a bad thermostat and the car has run smooth since. I wanted to like this shop as my brother recommended them, but unfortunately I cannot recommend them as the customer service is lacking. I'd advise to find a different shop for your car repairs.

After paying $1200 for these services, the next time we tried to start the truck, the battery was dead. Turns out they never replaced the battery. We took it back and they did. Then a month later the oil light came on. We brought it to another mechanic who told us there was no oil in the truck, and the oil filter had not been replaced. They also never fixed the other minor issues we asked them to look at. When we went back to complain, they were very indignant, and only begrudgingly refunded part of our money. My advice is to avoid this place at all costs. They messed up our friends car when we went in for an oil change and inspection. They have terrible quality control.
