Honest professional service
Paul thoroughly and objectively explained the issues and options for my vehicle without pushing for any of them which was important for me given the age of my Camry. The work we agreed on was completed when he said it would be and within the estimate.

I am very satisfied with your service with one exception. I think the engine cover should have been fastened down regardless of how it was. I cannot remember taking it off in the past. I am going through the list you gave me and will bring it in for further repairs that you recommend if I cannot get them done but I hope you will include fastening down the engine cover when I do.

Thank you
As I am currently in England, my brother, Robert Brown, brought my car in for servicing. He has been a long time customer with you and has recommended your services for years. My car was serviced quickly and efficiently with the resulting cost reasonable and fair. With much appreciation. Kathryn Brown

I’ve been going to Powell Garage for many many years. My dad had originally recommended them to me and I’ve been going here ever since. They are honest and do excellent work and are easy to work with.

I trust them 100%
I drive a 2002 VW GOLF. I have the AC unit fixed in January and fuel pump replaced in March. In between, I stopped by without appointment because I thought my car was making strange noises. The staff at Powell Garage kindly checked it to make sure everything was okay.
The day after having the fuel pump repaired, they called me to tell me that the part price was not correct and they gave me a refund. If they had not told me, I would have never noticed it. As you see from this, they do really honest business and I trust them 100%. I recommend Powell Garage to everybody in town.

Honest and responsive
A Lyft driver who used to run a garage recommended Powell to me. I've been using Powell since. Powell takes the time to call and explain the problem in a clear and simple way. They always tell me what needs to be done and what can wait. I never feel rushed or patronized. The car has always been fixed and ready when they said it would be. It's a well-run, friendly shop.
