Larson's Service We love Diane and her team. We have been taking our two old cars there for several years and service is always great. I also feel that they explain everything in detail so I feel like I'm making an informed decision. They are also honest and actually advised us against doing a big repair job on a car that would have been costly, and the car just wasn't worth it anymore.

Brought my 10-year-old Sienna in to have the rear coil springs replaced. They turned down work to point out that due to the extensive rusting on basically everything, it was really not worth doing the work, it was just time to call it on the car. I really appreciate their honesty, and it's earned them all my future repair work. Service: Steering & suspension repair

Great service as usual. I live near the shop so it's super convenient for me to take it in. Diane and the crew always take good care of my vehicles and are always thinking preventively to keep my trucks running great and ahead of the maintenance curve. Thank you!

I used them on my 09 Tacoma for Corrosian Free rust treatment. Called the other day for info on a new truck Om working on ordering. Found them to be honest family run business. Corrosian Free seems to be the most cost effective and you don't have to spray every year. Every three years or so. There arnt many dealers around. Larsons does this treatment while you wait. I can't leave my truck for three days like other services require

The folks at Larson's are unbelievably thorough, honest, friendly, professional and knowledgeable about all things auto repair! They went over my car with a fine-toothed comb and gave me a second opinion on what the dealership had recommended. What needed immediate attention was done and I was given a list of repairs that can wait a bit. Everything they did was explained in detail and I feel totally confident that my car was taken very good care of.

FINALLY.a trustworthy, honest auto repair shop! They checked over my vehicle head to toe and discussed everything needing attention. I'm very satisfied with their knowledge and customer service. I won't go anywhere else ever again. They checked recalls on my vehicle so as to not fix and charge me for things that fall under recalls. I am so grateful.

Larson's Service was recommended to me by a friend and I could not be happier with the professionalism and fairness I experienced. Diane (owner) was extremely helpful and upfront about everything that was going to happen regarding my '06 Honda Pilot. After the initial evaluation of the undercarriage, we decided the best option was to trade in the car since the pending repairs would not be worth it. Diane even credited the evaluation at no cost to me. I will definitely be keeping Larson on my list for any future car servicing.

Super positive experience recently getting my tires rotated and an alignment. Easy to book an online appointment. Staff was helpful and clearly explained what would happen, time-frame and cost. They also offer an overall review and maintenance for $100 on top of whatever service. There's also a beautiful waiting area behind the shop with a view of the pond. Plus, an ice cream shop across the parking lot. I'm always happy to support a woman-owned business, especially in a male-dominated industry. Highly recommend!

I took my vehicle there for a rustproofing spray and found the crew there honest and knowledge. They were great at communicating with me and the price was reasonable. I highly recommend them.

My sister's car died randomly last week. She towed it to her brand dealer who first said they'd look Monday, then Thursday. Then the diagnostic fee was high. Yelped it and found Larson's and was impressed with a woman owned co. so told her call. They told her to tow it over and they'd take a look. Its now that same Monday afternoon, they've already diagnosed, quoted and her car will be back in her hands tomorrow and the price is amazing. We just found our new family shop. I am amazed with the timeliness and friendliness. They have been amazingly communicative and helpful. If you need a place, try them.

Stopped in on a whim to have a blinker light replaced. Diane, the owner, was kind, welcoming, and professional. The mechanics were helpful and prompt, and checked every single light for me, not just the broken blinker. I was charged only eleven dollars. I appreciated the garages's mere willingness to help me at all with such a small job, not to mention the good service. It does not surprise me to see so many excellent reviews for maintenance and repairs, beyond the tiny job I visited for.

I've been a grateful Larson's customer for almost 5 years. They've never let me down. When I bring my car in for its regular check up, they go over it from headlights to tail pipe. If they find an issue, they explain it to me in language I can understand. They advise me on the regular maintenance my hard working baby needs, but have never tried to push an unnecessary work.

How much do I trust these folks? I do a lot of late night and all night interstate driving alone. But when I pull out of my driveway at 3am to to head for a job in New Jersey, the one thing I'm not worrying about is my car.

Wow I am blown away by the service and the friendliness of the whole staff here at Larson's. So this will be my first winter and I did a lot of research and trying to find a great place to get the undercarriage of my car sprayed. I called them set up an appointment was very very easy found out they've been doing this for years and I put my trust in them and at the end I am very very satisfied.

If you need your car sprayed or just need a great automobile shop and live nearby this is your place to be. They have a great waiting area in the back overlooking a lake on spring or summer days I can imagine how pretty it's out. This will be my new Automotive shop to come to whenever I need any kind of work done to any of my vehicles

For something as simple as a trip in to plug my tire, the folks here went above and beyond. Big fan of the personalized service and hospitality.

I am thrilled with the service that I have recieved from Larson's. My Acura is my baby and I am give it everything it needs. For years I was afraid to leave my dealership in fear that other repair shops wouldn't be able to provide me with the same level of precision that Acura trained technicians would. Larson's has VERY knowledgeable and friendly people that will give you an honest recommendation for your vehicle.

I had some suspension work done by them for hundreds of dollars cheaper than the dealership quoted me. I will return to Larson's for all of my car's needs. Check them out, you won't be disappointed!

I can't say enough good things. Every once in a while someplace lives up to your expectations It's rare but it happens. This is that kind of place. From the first phone call to picking up my van it was exactly what I was hoping for. They take the time to explain what they are doing and take the time to show you the parts they replaced. It isn't the cheapest place but the prices are fair and the quality is excellent. The staff is friendly and informative. I will definitely be returning and highly recommend them. My only problem is I wish I found them years ago.

This place ROCKS. I made an appointment with Diane for a second opinion and estimate. Being told over the weekend that I needed to replace my front brakes and rotors, I was curious. Turns out they either lied or know nothing about cars, because Diane and her crew explained to me that my brakes are fine, in fact just ten percent used. The place I USED to go I thought were honest decent people. Turns out I was mistaken and could have cost me. Thank you all for taking good care of Bella. We need more honest mechanics like yourselves.

I went to Larson's because they were the local dealer for rustproofing that I wanted to try to save my new car with. I got a phone quote of no more than $110 based on the amount of material used which I thought was fair & judging by my car I thought would come under since there wasn't a lot of area to spray. I get there & everyone is really nice & the tech shows me the car before & after which I thought was really nice.

I did watch much of the application, which was quick & seemed to involve very little product (which was confirmed on the look "after"). I was surprised to pay the max quote, but I thought it was worth it since the tech seemed so competent, but for my other car I decided to buy the identical product in two spray cans for $30 & apply it myself. Fast forward to post-Winter & I was incredibly disappointed to find how rusty the car done by Larson's was.

It was worse overall than the one I did with spray cans for a fraction of the cost & I actually needed three cans so I didn't do a perfect job to begin with. Needless to say, I won't be back since apparently I can do a better job by myself for a fraction of the cost. I gave two stars because the people were really that nice.

I was very surprised that my experience was not like everyone else. I brought my car to them a few times but the last time left a bad taste in my mouth. While I think they are fine mechanics, I do not like how the owner keeps trying to sell me on expensive services that my car does not need. Every time I brought my car in, she would push me to take them.

I understand that she is trying to make a living, so I do not mind her asking but if I say no than should be the end of it. The last time I was there in December she was kind enough to look at my vehicle in a emergency situation. The engine O2 sensor was faulty and causing the car to go into limp mode. Well it took them two days to replace it and an oil change.

They also conveniently found a host of other issues, that they did not find during the complete care inspection they preformed when I first brought the car into the shop a few months earlier. She wanted to replace the muffler and most of exhaust system even though it was replaced four years ago. She did allow me to use their shop car one day so I did not have to use a rental car.

Been going here for over two years now, friendly, honest service. I like how they remember your name. They take the time to go over everything that was done and show you what parts came out. Also recently they had suggested that I check with my local dealer to see if a certain engine code was covered rather then just telling me it needed to be fixed and charging me.thankfully it was covered saving me a ton of money.

This is definitely the best garage experience I've ever had. The owner serves you hot chocolate and the technicians show you the parts they had to replace. The price was right on the nose, and when they realized I was on a budget, they prioritized the safety features and told me what could wait and how long. I'm going back in six months and expect to become a regular customer.
