Sanford's Automotive Service

I took an older vehicle to Mike at Sanford's Automotive Service. He took it in right away. He was very thorough about discussing plans for my car. I told him the budget I was working with and he was able to break down what needed work first and what could wait. He didn't try to take advantage of me. Compared to other shops, I actually saved money. His prices are very reasonable. His overall work was great. He ended up doing quite a few things to my car, and I'm planning on having him do more. He does good, quality work and I highly recommend him! RESPONSE FROM Sanford's Automotive Service: Always a pleasure to help a car enthusiast. more

Mr. Sandford was helpful and attentive to my needs. The location of his shop is convenient regardless of what sid of town you live because it is directly off of the interstate. It was refreshing to have a mechanic to provide the one on one service I needed in this day and age. more

If you want your car fixed right and fast go see mike at sandford automotive and he is now going to be my regular mechanic and he is a very nice guy and the work he did on my car was excellent.... more

Sanford's Auto did a good job. I had them service my vehicle twice. One time, I brought it in to change the timing belt. They gave me an estimate up front, then did some other work that they found during the belt replacement, but the cost still came within the estimate. They completed the work within the time they told me they would get it done, and they got it done on time. I had another, unrelated issue with the vehicle. It's an older vehicle, so it just broke down one day. I called up Sanford and he got it fixed that afternoon. I think it's good to have someone you can have come work on your vehicle when you're in a pinch, and have it ready that soon. G. Roe more

Sanford's Auto is on time. They have on time service, and good customer service. They do a good job. more

He is a decent mechanic but that's his job. Poor customer service. RESPONSE FROM Sanford's Automotive Service: Mr Grant, I am sorry that my customer service did not meet your expectations. I strive to give the best possible customer service possible, even taking & picking up customers when they live over 10 miles away. I took pride in the duel exhaust that I replaced on your 1967 Red Mustang. I took great care in aligning the mufflers, pipes, Chrome tips & hangers so that it looked good & did not rattle or vibrate loose. I am sorry that the turbo mufflers were not loud enough (my recommendation). Clearly I should have installed the flow masters that you wanted to start with that I said would be too loud.

When you go to Sanford's Automotive Service with whatever you need Mike talks to you and pulls you in the garage to show what is going on. When I have gone to other places I only get to talk to the service manager, and I never get to see the person who is actually working on my car. I like the way Mike does it. We have been using Sanford's Automotive for about 2 years. Mike pretty much does everything for me. He has done tires, tune ups, and takes care of all the family's vehicles including my husband's F250 truck, my little sports car, my son's Ford, and my other son's Nissan Altima. The quality is excellent. I have never had an issue with anything they have done. I have never had a problem. Mike is really easy to talk to and a real easy person to deal with. He tries to get the best price for his customers. If something is too expensive he will shop around. He works with his customers. more

I have been using Sanfords Automotive Service for about 4 years. I feel like they look after me. They remind me of things that need done and they gave been willing to work with me when I cannot pay for things right away. By suggesting which repairs can wait until later, I have been able to budget. And, the work has been good. I have not had to go back for anything. Celina Jones more

You will get the kind of service at Sanford's thats almost a thing of the past. Mike will shoot straight with you, is reasonably priced and you will be smiling all the way home. No service writer to run interference between you and mechanic. My entire family uses Sanfords and we all give them a thumbs up. more

My husband had to have some work done on his baby, his Corvette, and Mike was able to do it in a timely and cost efficient manner. We were very pleased. It was our first time using Sanford's Automotive Service because we just recently came to his area and needed someone to take care of the Corvette. The muffler had separated, and Mike had to take it apart and weld it back together. It is fine now. We were very pleased, and we would recommend him. more

We're music repairmen. Mr. Sanford originally came over here to have an oboe repaired. My boss Steve started taking his car there and said, "They're real good," so I started taking my car there too. I've personally taking my car over there a good year and a half. Steve has been taking his vehicle over a little longer, three years at least. My car's a little newer than his so I didn't have problems show up for awhile. I keep going back to Sanford Automotive for two reasons. Mr. Sanford, first and foremost, he's such a nice, decent guy to deal with. He's one of those good guys. You feel like he's not about to take you for a ride. I never feel like he's going to BS me. Second of his all, he's flat-out honest. Not only is he honest, he'll point out other peoples' dishonesty. When I first took my car over there, he pointed out some things that should have been done but couldn't be done at the dealership. I had also paid another shop to have some spark plugs replaced. Mr. Sanford showed me that the plugs that were in my car could only come from a factory and couldn't have been done at that other shop. Right then, I knew I'd never take my car to the other place again. Mr. Sanford will tell you exactly what should be done, and then he won't cut corners. When you roll out of his place, your car is fixed. Both me and Steve, we never have a problem, ever. Try him for yourself, and you'll find out real quickly. Go over and have some work done and you'll probably be real happy and impressed. more

Sanford's Automotive Service is very fair. I have 3 cars that are taken care of by Mike now. He is always upfront and fair. Some of the cars are older, so we have to work to get them just right. Mike is willing to work with me. Mike will tell me what I need, and if I don't have the money he will just do the portion I ask for. He has always done everything I need and then some. I have used Sanford's Automotive Service for a couple of years now. I discovered him about 2 years ago, and he is the first mechanic I have really trusted. I have found him to be fair and honest. more

Mike Sanford performs service, maintenance, and repairs in a complete, professional, and timely fashion. The only negative is that the costs are a little higher than other shops. more

Mike is very good at what he does...keep up the good work more

Knows what he is doing and will work with you to make it right the first time. more

I MET MISTER SANFORD ABOUT 6 YRS AGO THAT WHEN I LEARN HE WAS AND AUTO MECHANIC OVER THE PASS 5 YRS OF USING HIS SERVCE I CAN SAY HE IS AND EXCELLENT MACHANIC WHO IS RELIABLE TRUST WORTHY VERY DEPEDNDABE, KNOWLEDGEABLE IN ALL MAKES AND MODELS OF VEHICLES I WILL CERTAINLY RECOMMEND HIS SERVICE TO ANY ONE LOOKING FOR A GOOD MECHANIC more

I have used Sanford's Automtovie for over 10 years for all of my vehicles. The service is highly dependable and the work is ALWAYS done when promised. This is one top notch establishment! more

Mike is one of a dying breed -- the natural-born mechanic. He knows the whole car, not just one system like so many mechanics in the big chains these days. I felt very comfortable taking my 14 year old vehicle to him and was extremely happy with the service. The car is running great! Mike suggested areas of repair where it would be wise to put my money and other areas where a work-around is probably a better idea for a car the age of mine. I will continue to take my vehicle to Sanford's Automotive Service. more

I have never had any problems with Sanford's Automotive Service. I call to see when I can bring in my vehicle, and he will let me know. I drop it off and pick it up the same day, or Mike will call and let me know when it will be done. After looking at it he will tell me the price, or he can give me an estimate upfront, whichever I want. It is very convenient for me. I have been using Sanford's Automotive Service for about 5 years. I got into this area in 2004 and started using Mike probably a year after that. I have never had to take anything back to Mike. He works on cars, my ATV, he will work on anything. Mike is honest and trustworthy. His prices are reasonable. He works mostly by himself, so some things might take him a couple of days, but he is usually on time with what he says. So far I have had no problems. more
