Took my car to replace sunroof glass came back key fob not working. My insurance sent me there. All of a sudden technician had it on the work order. I never say the work order nor did My key fob looked ran over it was dirty of course if someone ran over it. They left tools in my car. Im wouldn't recommend my dog for service. Wong was not understanding had no empathy.

He was nasty nice and he said the owner was okay with not trying to resolve this issue. Couldn't speak to owner he became the spokesperson all of a sudden. My glass not on track will have to take to Nissan to get them to look at the work that was conducted. They will probably say it was functioning before thats they thing no accountability at this place. So unfortunate

Multiple issues with my interaction with the owner. Firstly, he was on multiple times off site when I attempted to visit the shop during normal hours. Answers the listed "work" number aka his cell phone, and refused to come back to the shop during his normal listed business hours. Secondly, when I explained that the dealership informed me that the windshield needed to be removed to properly install the new headliner, he told me that this was impossible to do without breaking the windshield, and told me the dealership would give me a new windshield if they did it there.

He implied that dealerships do this regularly. Thirdly, he insinuated that I should commit insurance fraud and claim windshield damage in order to have a third party replace the glass under a claim. Fourth, I asked for suede and he said that no cars have suede (false). I'm not giving him 1 star because he referred me to Sargent Upholstry, who after speaking with, has a much more comprehensive understanding of this replacement procedure. Won't go back.

They ruined my steering wheel&gear shifter.both are now crumbling soaert in my hand.they were not sticky&crumbling when I left the care in their care, but upon pickup had a very disappointing experience! I am out, on my own, &they win'teven consider helping right the problems they created while they had my vehicle in their shop! Very disappointed at their Ryder, abrupt dealings&unwillingness to correct damages that were caused by them.

Very professional and polite guys. The convertible top on our 350Z was beginning to operate eradicatly and literally failed when I went to show the technician at Sargent Upholstery. (Of course it happened after the warranty period had passed!) The guys identified the issue and so far the repair has been successful. Not cheap- but honest people who do good work in the automotive arena are worth thier weight in gold!

We sought the assistance of Sargent's because we got sunscreen on our brand new leather seats. We were fully prepared to have the leather replaced, and took our vehicle in to get a quote from Jim. Jim told us that he wanted to try and clean it up first. Thankfully what he did worked and we did not have to replace the leather! Jim refused to take payment for the few minutes of wiping and cleaner he put on the leather in our vehicle.

We were very appreciative of the fact that he didn't try to make us replace and pay for something we didn't need. Jim was very professional and personable, from the phone conversation I had with him to the experience my boyfriend had with him at the business. We will definitely return to Sargent Upholstery for future needs and we highly recommend their services. Thank you Jim, for your help and saving my sanity!

Sean T. was fantastic. He helped me design a fantastic seat for my Triumph TR7 restoration. I brought the seats and a few pics of the car that was in the process of being painted at a different shop. I wanted bold, and he nailed it. The pic I am posting is of the passenger seat and the driver's seat can be seen but it is not bolted in just yet. We chose a black vinyl seat with a hounds tooth black and gold inlay and gold piping.

Everything came out perfect and the seats really make the car pop. They also met an aggressive timeline to get me the seats just in time for an event where I wanted to show off the car. I could not be happier. I highly recommend!

They were very helpful and did not give me the runaround at all. They gave me a quote on what I needed and we're very nice and pleasant to talk with. When I decide to get something done on my motorcycle I will be reaching out to them again. They seemed really great.

Outstanding service and professionalism! I would recommend this family-owned and operated business over and over again. I called Sargent in a panic about my convertible top while on a road trip from South Carolina to California. I stopped in Jacksonville and Sean was extremely professional and knowledgeable. He fixed my top and gave me advice on how to maintain and protect my convertible.

His customer service was above and beyond! Sargent really takes care of their customers. Thank you again, Sean, for all that you did. I really appreciate it and will definitely use Sargents services again!

Mike was very thorough and informative when I arrived for an estimate to repair the headliner in my Porsche Cayman. The Techs were awesome in that they made sure the material on the headliner matched the rest of the interior. And the quality of their workmanship is second to none. the car was ready when stated and it was clean as well. I'm very pleased with the outcome and recommend their service to anyone. Excellent job guys & gals!
