Report
Absolutely a fabulous experience and exceptional customer service. Brought my car in with no brakes and received VIP customer care. I had a loaner vehicle offered to me so that I was able to get to work, and I was able to get my car looked at the same day and given a summary of the problem including an estimate. The work performed saved me not only time and money, but my brakes have never felt better. I am truly impressed with Stan's and will take my vehicle including my wife's there for future maintenance or any unforeseen repairs.

Report
I have been going to Stan's Automotive for a couple of years now. My neighbor recommended them and I have been very happy with each visit. Most recently, they alerted me to the fact that I had a nail in one tire. The next day, while waiting for new tires to come in, my tire pressure light came on. I went back to Stan's to ask their advice. They checked all 4 tires, added air to the slightly low one, and told me to return if I needed more air - no questions asked. Thank you, Stan and employees!

Stan's took my vehicle in and repaired it in a timely manner. I asked about the condition of the brakes and was told that they didn't need attention at this time. I've been to other shops that would've recommended brake replacement regardless of condition. Services: General repairs & maintenance, Brake service & repair

I really enjoy giving my business to them, they're reasonable and walk you through why they need to charge you for certain things. They also break down the price of parts and labor. They communicate well as to when they can have your car finished, and recommend things they think will be good for your vehicle. Everyone there is really nice also which always makes a difference to me.
