    By Tim C. in Santa Barbara, CA

    I have trusted Powelll Garage with my truck and highlander for years. When ever there was warranty work, they let me know it was under warranty. They were always friendly and professional. I never felt I paid too much, in fact there were numerous times that there was no charge.

    Superior service

    By Kathleen M. in Santa Barbara, CA

    After a flood of my car, Powell Garage rescued and resuscitated my wonderful Hyundai Elantra Touring hatchback. They kept me apprised of the insurance claim, work progress and reclaimed the soaked carpeting, etc. I don't know of any other shop who would have done this so well and I am heartbroken that they must close shop December 19th, due to real estate forces beyond their control.

    One satisfied customer

    By Jim C.

    Excellent service as always. It took me several years to find a trustworthy automotive repair shop that didn't try to upsell me additional services when I took my Lexus in for servicing. Paul is great as is the rest of the Powell Garage team. Really sorry to see the business close but wishing Paul and the rest of the team the best.
