I know a little about cars and I know a lot about paying to keep them in the road. I also know about automotive service and the three things that are important: Honesty, friendliness and timing. I found Sargeant Service Center to have it all.
I was driving from Florida to California in my 2016 car and I wanted an oil change. I called and made an appointment. The woman on the phone was FRIENDLY. We scheduled a day and time, because I had to wait for it since I'm on a trip. She quoted me a price for the oil change and it was reasonable. I got there on TIME and they were ready for me. The tech took my car and changed the oil while he checked it over. When it was done, the service writer told me that things looked good and I didn't need the air filter changed, the brakes were ok, etc. That was HONEST, no pushy upsell. I'm not in town regularly to go here, but if you are reading this, then you are and need to take your car to the shop. I recommend this place. Even if you have mechanic phobia like my daughters do, this place is going to be good to you. I promise. - John B. (5 Star Yelp Review)
