Do not bring your car here or use them to tow your car! The owner is shady. He lies out of his a**. He's also an appraiser that scams insurance companies! He charges customers for things he doesn't even do to your car then holds your car hostage if you don't agree to the bill. Not a place you want to bring your car!

I had a battery replaced through AAA. Cameron called me to let me know he was on his way to get the job done. In 15 minutes I had a new battery. Cameron was responsive, told me what he was doing, especially with the need to keep the car running in order to preserve the settings, and he was extremely polite. I'm so gladAAA sent Entwisstle's Garage to do the job.

This is a tough one. Had my Ford Focus picked up to be towed to another shop in the area for a diagnosis of a problem with the front end. The driver, Jamie, showed up promptly and with a very upbeat attitude. He let me know that if I have the car towed to Entwistle's that they would be able to do a free diagnosis and if I have the car repaired with them I would get a rental car. He was quick and very professional.
I have been getting constant updates on the status of the car and that is thanks to Brandon and Nicholas. I have used Entwistle's for an oil change before and my experience was similarly great. But on another occasion, needed my car towed to local shop and called Entwistle's to tow it. They offered to take to their shop instead.but after they did and I got their estimate which was 5 times the price quoted by the other local shop, it took almost two days to get Entwistle's to just tow it to the original destination. So the prices are def outrageous but if you don't mind paying way extra, the staff are very friendly

I initially called for a battery technician to come out and check my vehicle. Next thing I knew, I had a tow truck at my place with a rental. They took my car to Entwistle's for me and the technician Jamie J handled everything. I have never experienced this sort of help before he was so knowledgeable and nice. I will definitely be back and I'm happy to pay someone that actually knows what their doing! Thank you Entwistle's you all rock!
