“We run a fleet of service vans for Sloan Appliance and downtime is the most expensive thing that can happen to us — a van in the shop means a tech not running calls. Whetzel's has been the right call every time.
Woody has been outstanding to work with. He tells me straight what needs to be done now versus what can wait, calls with a clear scope before any work starts, and doesn't pad the ticket. When I've asked them to go through a van top to bottom, they've done exactly that and it comes back running like new.
The turnaround has been quick, the pricing is fair, and the communication is what sets them apart. If you've got a fleet or just want a shop that will be honest with you about your vehicle, this is it. Highly recommend.”
“The adhesive on the back of rear view mirror had melted and the mirror had fallen off. I had never been to Dukes (my regular auto shop had closed shop) and found them on the Internet. They were very busy, but the owner got a mechanic to immediately reinstall it, and I was stress-free and street legal within 15-20 minutes.”
“William at Assertive paintless dent repair was very friendly and his work was perfect. Very good at what he does. I will definitely take all my dent repair to him and recommend him.”

“Had couple performance parts installed on my BMW awesome appointments and response time I’ve been dealing with them for years and still can rely on them any given time GREAT SHOP!!!”

They did all the work that I needed done quickly. The staff were knowledgeable and very friendly. If you need any work done on your car I would definitely recommend this place.”
“Showed up on a Tuesday morning as they opened. They had the tires I needed for my wife's car and had me out the door within 15-20 minutes. No hassle, everyone was friendly and nice and even offered me food and drink while I waited.”
“This place was amazing and quick. I got a nail in my tire and need to get a new tire put on and I called them and they immediately got me in and changed my tire within 20 minutes. Their price was super reasonable and they were super nice! 10/10 would come back again.”
“Amazing Folks! I've brought personal vehicles as well as company vehicles to these guys. They have always been honest and fair. They get the vehicle in and out in a timely manner. I have recommended them my friends and family and I recommend them to whomever is reading this review!”
“Highly talented!! The Knight family & co. have the skills. I was totally blown away by the paintwork on my car. I've been an enthusiast since before I could drive, so I feel like i've got the eye to spot a vehicle thats been repaired or painted. They did such an amazing job on my car that you cannot tell, not from any angle nor any light pattern. I'm in awe. Thanks a million. I did not know it was possible for a vehicle to look this good without a total re-paint. They did my LF fender & both front doors. Tearsa's painting & matching skills are otherworldly. My car looks so perfect.”

“I cannot thank Tire City Express enough for saving my entire trip to South Carolina. After a car wash damaged my valve stems, I was stranded and unsure of what to do. Thankfully, Tire City Express arrived faster than a normal tow would have, and their team was able to quickly fix the issue.
Not only was their service prompt and efficient, but the payment process was incredibly easy. I am so grateful for their quick response and professionalism during a stressful situation. Thanks to Tire City Express, I was able to continue my trip without any further delays. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of roadside assistance. Thank you, Tire City Express, for saving the day!”

“I’ve used Automotive Experts for years now and they never make me feel like I’m not getting solid service for my money or taking advantage of a woman bringing in vehicles with zero mechanical knowledge. I’ve trusted them with not only my cars but my daughters as well. Knowing they take their time with each customers vehicle and keep you well informed of any work needing to be done beforehand. Highly recommend. I won’t go anywhere else!”
“Super grateful to have found this group! We’ve been overpaying for terrible service at BMW for years, not knowing there were better options out there.

“Chuck Taylor and his father prior are absolutely the epitome of Gracious and Giving family. I have purchased my tires from there for 18 years. Several vehicles, my sons, friends etc. Anyone who is independent and needs someone trustworthy....HANDS DOWN, KarKare.”
“I took my truck in for repairs a few weeks ago. The mechanic assigned to my truck had an emergency and could no longer do the work. A young mechanic named Tai then took over for me. He communicated with me along each step of the way (frankly he was the only one who reached out at all and didn’t just leave me hanging…) and performed good work. My truck is doing well now. I am happy with Tai, HIS thoughtfulness and willingness to communicate and HIS work.”

“My wipers on my 2000 Buick Lesabre would not shut off. I had to pull the fuse to drive the car when it was not raining. A real pain. I called a local GM dealer to fix it and they said we don’t fix cars that old. Really ! I found Richard's Automotive on google maps and they replaced the wiper motor. Now good as new and shut off when they should. I am glad I found this place a new home for my old Buick for repairs.”
“I had a great experience with Team Cars! The communication was excellent from start to finish, and everyone I spoke with was extremely nice, professional, and helpful. They kept me updated throughout the process and made sure I understood what was going on with my vehicle. It’s hard to find a shop where you feel like you’re being treated fairly and actually kept in the loop, but they definitely did that. I really appreciate how they handled everything and would absolutely recommend Team Cars to anyone looking for a trustworthy and friendly shop. Thank you guys for taking such good care of me and my car!”
“Excellent honest shop at a fair price! I took my older ford truck in there on a whim for some service and it the guy at the desk was honest about what was going on with the truck saving me money down the road THANKS!!Services: Auto engine diagnostic”
“Mr.Bosket is not only a GodSend,but he is an exceptional mechanic and all around good Man! He repaired my car last year when I first moved to Columbia,and was able to troubleshoot and resolve the oil sensor issue that had been problematic for years! This week he fixed my car for another major issue within 36 hrs after drop off .Lickety Split and very cost effective! I told Mr.Bosket if I ever come into a sum of money from the lottery or otherwise,he would be the recipient of some just for the outstanding service,professionalism,kindness and empathy shown to us who dread seeing the engine light comes on and knowing how expensive repairs can be in these tough economic times.I salute you Sir!
Update: Im thoroughly convinced that Mr.Bosket has a ser of wings that he takes off to put on his workclothes.An Angel in disguise!On 10-13-2025,Not only did he diagnose the problem with my car( ac blower)in under a minute, but he ordered the part, repaired my car and had me out of there in less than 90 minutes! Did I mention it did not cost me my first born child ?If you do not take your vehicle to this upstanding gentleman, you are doing yourself a major disservice! I cant thank him enough!?”
