“This business is absolutely the best! Since my auto repair business in Sanford recently changed hands, I had no clue where to take my car for repairs.
I tried a big name chain in Sanford for what I thought was a little noise under the hood. I was treated like a number, given an outrageous estimate, and worse yet, when my car left their lot after the diagnosis it was in worse shape than when I brought it in! It was literally undrivable when I left their lot.
Word of mouth is wonderful advertising, but I have to spread my good news this way as well! These mechanics at Atlantic Auto & Tire went straight to work with their own inspection and diagnosis.
They repaired my car instead of jumping straight to a replacement of a major system of my car. They treated me as a person, not a number. They repaired my car in the time they said they would and they saved me $1000 in comparison to the quote I previously obtained from the other business!
Their labor costs are reasonable compared with the other business. I know that when I need repairs on my cars, they will seek out parts at the best price and value!
If you are looking for mechanics that are trustworthy and knowledgeable, this veteran-owned small business in Sanford is a gem!
Go there first and save yourself stress and money. They are in the business of fixing vehicles, not ripping people off!”
“I have been there twice with my Chevy Silverado 1500 LT and both times the techs gave me exceptional service! The price of my service was very reasonable. The ladies that checked me in and let me know it was done were very attentive. I would recommend them for any service you need!”
“Hailey was very friendly and helpful and guided me to need for an alignment, extending the life of my tires. Service was scheduled and performed as scheduled with a minimum of waiting.”
“Me and my wife get our RV serviced here. Every one in the office is really nice and helps you out any way they can. The technicians in the back are very knowledgeable and take great pride in what they do. They treat your vehicle like it’s theirs and make sure they take care of it and make sure they don’t see any issues. And if they do come across a issue they let me know before they do anything. Me and my wife how you recommends this place and will be going here for all of our RV services for now on.”
“I had a great experience! Everyone was so kind, welcoming. I went in for an oil change and inspection, and the whole process only took about 30 minutes. Super quick and efficient service. I’ll definitely be coming back! ?”
“Alan and team at Bill’s Body Shop did an Amazing Job on our 2015 Rav4! Looks like it’s Brand New! I Highly Recommend them for any and All your repair needs!”
“I brought my Vehicle to Mr. Powers and his crew, and I must say that they did a good job with my Front and Rear Bumper repairs. Trey, even went as far as installing my passenger side Fender liner and my passenger headlamp assembly. The paint job came out great as well. Ladies and gentlemen’s, if you want quality auto-bodywork please bring your vehicle to Powers Automotive and Body, you will not be disappointed .”
“Gordon Enterprises is family-owned. Their long-standing excellent reputation is trustworthy, focused and caring. This business cares about quality of work they do. They are always professional.”
“I highly recommend this shop. I went to multiple shops and every place gave me a high quote or misdiagnosed issue. I brought my truck to them and they were able to fix my issue right away. If you are looking for an affordable shop, I’d highly recommend coming to them. Extremely trustworthy and truly care about their customers.”
“Bought used car Tuesday. Finance arranged by Tim. Upsold the extended warranty. Told us to reach iut with any questions. Uh-Oh car engine light on and lots of noise from car. Left message for Finance Mgr, Tim, to see what can be done, Wednesday. Thinking he may be able to answer a few questions, introduce us to service manager. No response as of Friday.
Fortunately, Tony the Service Manager came through. Replaced front axles, replaced emissions valve at no charge. Upon 2nd return, Tony adjusted the axles and EGV again under warranty.”
“Highly recommend George and Joel! Great experience from start to finish. The team was professional, honest, and took the time to explain what my car needed. Definitely will be going back for future car needs!”
“We have taken our cars there for years now. They are great, friendly, fair, I highly recommend!!
P.S. They are the only ones I really trust where car repairs are concerned. They have always treated us right.”
“Rock Rash Performance (RRP) is the best! Back in April 2025, I researched experienced 4x4 fabricator/installers (over 10 of them) in the NC area to turn my stock 2020 Toyota 4Runner TRD Off Road Premium (with KDSS) into a competent beach vehicle. I chose RRP because they specialize/are experienced in Toyota and Lexus Overlanding Outfitting and are experienced fabricators and welders.
Ian promptly replied to my online inquiry through the website, shared his experiences, provided a detailed quote on parts and labor and most of all instilled confidence in RRP's ability to deliver. Price for parts and labor costs were very competitive.
Yesterday (June 3, 2025), I successfully had a Dobinson IRS suspension upgrade installed; 2.5 inch lift in front, 1.0 inch in back (keeping my KDSS active), installed an RCI (Pike) winch bumper with a Warn EVO 10S winch and RCI (steel) Engine Protection Skid Plate. The install and alignment went flawlessly and was done in the same day.
Deciding to go with Ian and Chris at Rock Rash Performance was the best decision I made regarding my 4Runner upgrade. Note: I drove 3 hours each way (~320 miles round trip) because of their experience. These gentlemen are Veterans (go VETS!), execute quality work with skilled craftsmanship and flawless communication.
Trust Rock Rash Performance with your build, you won't be disappointed.”
“Dave and his team were so helpful! I was in a rush and they inspected my car and got everything done within a day and were so honest and helpful! Very good customer service!”
“I don't generally write reviews. This may be my third one ever, and the last one was probably fifteen years plus ago. Just not my thing to do.
BUT this body shop deserves a review because they are Top Notch. Stopped by on a Monday two weeks ago and Brandy give me an estimate to replace the back bumper on my wife's VW. And I observed rather quickly she knows her business and I'm sure the other staff members do as well. They ordered the parts (all OEM because aftermarket wasn't available) and said it would take two days to repair. I dropped it off the following Monday and picked it up Tuesday afternoon.
(WOW, That's two days 👍. Wife Especially, and I were very impressed😊)
Paint matched perfectly and workmanship was also perfect. Looks like it just came off the original assembly line. AND they detailed the car inside and out. VERY Professional and Knowledgeable staff!
I had planned on getting a second quote but there was no need to. If I ever need body work again they DEFINITELY have my business!
Also, if they cannot please you, you are just hard to please.
Thank you a lot!!
Terry”
“From the minute I walked in, for my first visit, I felt welcome! The entire staff was friendly and welcoming. They really helped me understand what was happening with my car and I felt comfortable making the repairs. My car was ready the next day and Cameron went above and beyond to help me pick up my car later that evening. It ran then and now like brand new. Will be my place to go for anything from now on.”
“I'm so grateful for the exceedingly helpful folks at Smith Family Auto! I'm from out of town and didn't know anyone working there, but I got amazing service and was welcomed with open arms. They fixed my truck and did exactly what I asked them while they were offering other advice. They got my truck fixed rather quickly considering all that meeded to he worked on and my last minute areival before the weekend.
I feel like I got a great deal for the amount of work that was done, and they were very honest and up front with me about all the costs. I paid them happily and left the parking lot with my truck running like a champ and ready to ge back on the road!”
“I had a rattling noise under my hood when accelerating slowly, took my car to the dealer and they told me it was the muffler and wanted to charge a crapload. I stopped by this place on a Tuesday, he listened to the noise said it was indeed the muffler and that he could work on it the next day. I took it the next day and he didn’t even take 2 hours to replace the muffler. Problem has been solved, no more rattling noise! I can’t recommend this place enough! A++”
“Went in for a spare key and once I got through the small line, I was there for about 15 minutes and the majority of the time was waiting for the machine to finish cutting the key. Super helpful lane staff, parts and clerk all were super friendly and welcoming.”
“Christy and Integrated automotive are the most professional and knowledgeable mechanics I have experienced! Ricky had time to look at the broken bolt and then fix it right away. He did a super job cleaning up a mess, using unconventional methods, saving the electrical bundle.”
“Had a new flex pipe installed by the team here. Quick and fair pricing and they took great care of my car while it was there. Very responsive and would happily have them work on my stuff again!”
“This team helped me out greatly and saved me a life time of struggle. I appreciate their time and their services. Prices were also very reasonable! I will definitely come back to this shop. Thank you again!”

“We have now purchased 4cars, 3 used and 1 new, from Miguel at John Hiester in Sanford. Miguel has always listened to our needs, and he has been able to find us a vehicle that meets our needs and wants. He made the process simple and smooth. Our family highly recommends Miguel and Hiester for your car needs.”
“rear right bumper came off loose due to getting entangled. joe fixed it, applied new fasteners without any prior appointment on saturday afternoon at short notice. he’s moving to new shop nearby in a month.”
“This is by far the best auto part store I have been to in Sanford. They actually know what they are talking about and give you the correct part the first time around. Their return service is also hassle free. I saved a lot of money by going to a local store vs a chain auto on my front brake pads and rotor set. The staff is also friendly and happy to answer questions about your car.”
“So thankful for their help! Had an issue regarding our driver seatbelt this morning right as we were attempting to leave for an appointment (out of town specialist appointment that was scheduled a year out). Called about 4 other shops and they all required an appointment and all were next day. He allowed me to stop in to look at it quick and he got it to work. We made our appointment, a little late, but safely! Thank you so much!”
“Got rear ended in my new car that I just got, Brought my car here and Sandy talked me through everything was really nice and helpful, they were able to get the OEM bumper for my car which I was so happy about!”
“Went in due to needing new tires and alignment.....I had an appointment for 2:30pm...its a lengthy process but it was done before 4:00pm and let me say, it was amazing from calling them about their services to getting me in the following day. Their exceptional customer service, work on my Vehicle, to the ending was amazing. You ask they deliver!!!! I get picky about spot especially when it comes to my vehicle and everyone has a right due to not wanting to get scammed or overpriced. They lay all my prices without any sudden fee or some other work suddenly needing on my car. They will work with you, so by all means give these place a chance...I will surely be back for future maintenance...thanks yall again!!!!!”
“Ryan was very kind and told me exactly what was needed to get my vehicle drivable. It's very affordable and he told me what the price was before servicing and didn't try to add anything extra. I'll definitely be back for any vehicle problems!”
