Exceeded my expectations. First time I ever called auto repair shop to thank them! I sent them a 2006 car close to ready for the scrap heap and they gave me back a car that runs and sounds like new!

I just noticed I put a review of Little's Garage in here back in 2014. I wanted to give an update and say that I have been using them ever since and they are my main trusted auto mechanics. They are mindful of expenses, prompt, reliable, and I never have any problems with the work they do after the fact. I would highly recommend them to anyone!!

My car wouldn't start and after having a bad experience with other auto repair shops, I was nervous about trying a new shop but as soon as I called, they were very kind, told me to bring it in without making me wait another day, diagnosed and fixed it quickly. I can't say enough nice things about the friendly service and a quality job. Fair prices here, too. No gouging. So happy to have found Little's. My garage for life! Thank you everyone for taking the stress out of car repairs. :)

Description of Work: They checked for things that the dealer said were wrong but were not. I feel very confident They are honest and that's the most important thing when dealing with something that you don't know about.

I had my car dropped off that morning and it was ready for me when I got off work. Price was amazing and the overall professionalism and "old school" hospitality was at it's finest! Loyal customers were coming in dropping off baked goods and the staff was offering rides to their customers that didn't have a ride. You just don't find this kind of service anymore and it's a gem. I finally have a mechanic! I highly recommend Little's Garage!!.
Description of Work: I needed a lot of brake work done as they were seizing up on me and damaged other parts.

The people at Little's were both extremely nice and very responsive. They took the car right in and were able to get it up on a lift and repaired within a couple of hours. I will definitely use them for our other cars.
Description of Work: A visiting relative had a part fall off of her car, making it undriveable, the day before she was supposed to leave for North Carolina. Little's examined and repaired the car.

Description of Work: I had struts replaced in my 2002 Camry. Went to Little's after getting an estimate from Firestone. Little's was considerably less expensive for the same parts and service.

Thanks for giving us a call on this. I don't believe charging more than is necessary for a relatively simple job. I will always extend the best price I can. Thanks for taking the time to write a review. Take care.

He became my broker on a car sale so he charged me 10% of the sales price. I would recommend him to anybody. He's very good. He's honest, personable and handled the whole transaction without me having to do anything. I always find him to be very helpful.
Description of Work: I used him to sell my car and lots of different auto repairs over the years.

They were very responsive and cooperative in handling my request for service and even offered to give me a ride when I left the car at the garage. Their inspection found nothing wrong and there was no charge. Excellent customer service!
Description of Work: I inherited a car that had been sitting idle for a few months and is not nearby my home so I can't check it regularly. After I noticed a leak underneath the car, I wanted to have it checked to make sure there was no serious problem. The next time I was in town, I called Little's and they were able to look at the car promptly.

They were able to take me in quickly and they did a pretty quick oil change for me. They offered a coupon and I was using that. It was a good price.

Very good. See above
Description of Work: Have used them for multiple services after stopping in unexpectedly once last year for a sudden onset tire problem. They couldn't have been more responsive. I've since referred my two kids, my mother and my mother-in law. They've all had excellent experiences with the guys at Little's. My son was told by a different mechanic that his car needed thousand's of dollars of repair. After a couple hours of diagnostics, Little's informed us that there was nothing wrong with the car and they didn't even charge him.

As mentioned above. High price for the brakes. The job had to be re-done for additional cost. Don't go there foir brake jobs. Do ask about there gaurantee BEFORE let them do anything. Get it in writing
Description of Work: My regular mechanic had broken his arm and I needed brakes. Took my car to Littles since it was close and they gave me a price of $500+ . I agreed even though this was the same price that a dealer would ( and has) charged. Car was completed on time and brakes worked okay but after about 8-9 months I began to hear slight noise when applying the brakes. It soon stopped and I assumed it was just dirt. After all the brakes ahd just recently been replaced! Last week I had my car in for my regular mechanic to look at and he discovered that the front brakes were gone. He replaced the brakes for another $235. Point is after 11 months of highway driving, the brakes should not have worn out. I called Littles and they told me that they guarantee brakes for only 6 months. Can't comment on other car repairs there but would avoid if you want your brakes done.
