“Excellent experience today! The service was quick, convenient, and I didn’t need an appointment. I really appreciated that they didn’t try to upsell me on services I didn’t need. The pricing was very reasonable, especially with the coupon, which made the visit an even better value. Marty provided outstanding customer service and made the entire process easy and stress-free. Honest, efficient, and professional—I will definitely be back!”
“gavin here at drivesmart helped me so much with getting my new car he was very patient and even stayed over past 6 to help with me i very much recommend this place and gavin clyburn”
“Such a great dealership and customer service. My transmission went out in my paid off car and came to them in a frenzy. Cody took great care of me and helped me get into something the same day with ease. Their dedication and strive to provide their customers easy and a non stressful transaction is A1. Highly recommended.”
“Did a phenomenal job! Great group of guys working and since they are open later on Thursdays I was able to get my tire repaired after work without any stress! They are able to do work on Teslas as well btw, so don’t hesitate to come here for a patched Tesla tire if needed.”

“I am updating my review because Nuttall was recently bought out by Midas. I'm not sure how to rate them at this point so I'm dropping one star and I don't know that I'll continue to do business there.
I've been using Nuttall since the mid 1980's when they were located on Gervais St.”
“Royson’s Garage has been my go-to place for years. Carolyn has retired, but Angela is doing a job of handling our family’s vehicles. I would highly recommend Royson’s.”

“Kait and the technicians/mechanics are amazing. Very professional and hard working.they treated my vehicles how I’d want to treat them. Shop is also nice, clean and organized. Pricing is great! quality parts are all they use. O.E.M or equivalent. I’m very pleased with this business.”
“Philips Auto Tech has always been there for me. Jason has helped me for over a decade and with multiple vehicles. I cannot thank him, and Philips' staff, enough for their service and dedication over the years. A family owned business that truly takes care of yours!”
“Finding a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and fairly priced mechanic can honestly feel harder than finding the problem with your car in the first place. Anyone who has owned a vehicle long enough knows the stress of wondering whether you’re getting honest advice, quality workmanship, or just another expensive guess. That’s why when you finally come across someone who truly operates with integrity and skill, it deserves to be recognized.
If you’re in the Columbia area, I cannot recommend Shane Melbourne and Engine Menders enough. Located right off Garners Ferry Road in Columbia, this is the kind of shop people hope to find but rarely do.
Shane and his team bring something to the table that you just can’t fake, real experience, strong technical knowledge, and a genuine commitment to doing right by their customers. They take the time to properly diagnose issues instead of throwing parts at a problem, they explain repairs in a way that actually makes sense, and most importantly, they treat customers with honesty and respect. That level of transparency is rare in any industry, especially automotive repair.
It’s clear they take pride in their craft. Whether it’s routine maintenance or more complex mechanical work, they approach every job with professionalism and attention to detail. You never feel rushed, pressured, or taken advantage of, just confident that your vehicle is in capable hands.
Good businesses survive. Great businesses earn loyalty and word-of-mouth because they truly care about the people they serve. Shane and Engine Menders fall into that second category. If you’re looking for a mechanic you can trust long-term, this is absolutely a shop worth supporting.
When businesses operate with integrity and skill like this, they deserve recognition from their community. If you need automotive work done, give them a call or stop by, you’ll likely walk away with not just a repaired vehicle, but a mechanic you can rely on for years to come.”
“Ed was great diagnosed what was wrong with my car was able to fit me in same day got everything fixed same day which other shop I went to prior said they couldn’t fix not to mention price was very fair for the amount of work he had to do very happy with the service and knowledge will be going back for any and all future car repairs highly recommend
Restaurant next door has really great food options for a great price while you wait as well”
“I wanted to wait a couple of days after getting a repair done to ensure all was well. But to make a long story short, my car had been having steering issues since December. Had work done on multiple suspension parts, but none of them fixed the issue I was experiencing. I finally brought my car to Martin's because it was about to drive me crazy! I dropped my car off on a Friday morning and within 30 minutes they were calling me to inform they found the issue; an issue that no other shop even thought to inspect even after giving them the same symptoms. My repair was completed on the following Monday and the team was so communicative and pleasant to work with throughout the entire process. I'm very thankful they were able to not only find the issue so quickly, but the price for the work was reasonable. I highly recommend Martin's Motoworx for your car needs and they definitely have me as a repeat customer. Thank you all again!”
“1st time customer with high miles overhaul checkup. Services was exceptional, honesty with what I didnt need and cost that was below other places. Now my only place to trust for expertise and reliability. Andre”

“Very nice guy who owns the place. He told me that he is trying to retire and doing very little repair work now. He took the time though to help me, recommend another course of action, and made a recommendation for another shop. Too bad he is retiring.”
“My insurance agent recommended Chuck's Auto Service to me and after getting multiple estimates from different shops, Chuck's had the best price and could turn the repair around in the best timeline. Baylis was very helpful and I was very happy with the work. I'd use them again.”
“I was treated fairly and honestly! My car repair didn't cost me an arm and a leg! My a.c. is awesome! Thank you meckling brothers for getting me back on track!”

I can't recommend this place enough. You guys are the best. Thank you!! Big shout-out to the gentlemen that helped us in the front.”

“Driving down Millwood, I had my entire dashboard warning light system illuminate. Just happened upon the Midas shop and pulled in. The team was able to give me a preliminary scan, but unable to perform a secondary, specialty scan.
While they were not able to help me with my vehicle repair, they kept my car secure (Sat-Tues) until I could arrange for the vehicle to be moved elsewhere. I hate they weren't able to make the repair, but the team truly were helpful and kind. Especially since we had to loiter in their waiting room until a little after closing time on a Saturday. Rick, Logan and the rest of the guys were amazing!”
“Great experience. The staff was extremely knowledgeable and had a strong understanding of European vehicles. You can tell they’re genuinely passionate about these cars, which gave me a lot of confidence in their work. I’ll definitely be returning and would recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy European shop.”

“Great place for women, Owner is honest and you never have to go back twice on the same job. He knows his stuff and he takes the ti.e to explain the issue so you understand what the job is. Never over charged . I came to SC 2006 and he has never changed and I went back to him after hopping around I remembered him after moving away. Travelled back to fi d and I did. I am so happy...???”
“These guys are experts with the tools they need to fix or upgrade your ride as requested. My family and I greatly appreciate the work they performed on my Jeep.”
“I dropped off my car for some ac repairs. We all know we can't be hot and I trusted firestone! I had to plan a good time for the repair with not effecting my work schedule. They got me in and there were some bumps with trying the first/least expensive option. Having to go the more complicated route...they got me all set for work. The knowledge and extra mile they went for me was above and beyond! I'll always go back to this Garners Ferry location.”

She's very knowledgeable and helps you understand what is wrong with the car, she makes sure you know exactly what you are paying for so you dont overspend. She is amazing at multitasking and even when its busy she makes sure she will be with everyone as soon as she can.
