Testimonials

On 7/8/2025 Shelly Conlon had this to say:
I’ve taken my Pathfinder to S & S for a couple of years now and they do a great job. They are easy to work with and schedule and do quality work. He’s done oil changes, maintenance, rotations and replaced tires. Steve lets me know what work will be needed in the future but isn’t pushy and doesn’t feel like a salesman. S & S is a trustworthy place to take your cars.

On 3/4/2025 Jerry Lampert had this to say:

On 1/25/2024 Abby W. had this to say:
After thinking I had run a hole in my oil pan, I took my VW Passat to S & S. I showed up right when they opened after calling to request a morning appointment a few days prior. Steve got my car in right away, was able to promptly assess my car, and quickly determined the root cause. He also gave me (general) quotes and timelines on other services my car might need soon. As a college student with relatively no knowledge of cars, I would highly recommend the service here. I will be sure to return to S & S for assistance and service in the future.
