Description of Work: I had a check engine light problem which went away on my way there so they said to return when it came on again. I did and they ran the diagnostic and I scheduled the work for tomorrow. Also an improperly performing tire pressure signal that they fixed. Also did an oil change (my Audi takes an unbelievable number of quarts, so the cost is always high. So far they have been great. I am having more work done there.

I tried numerous times trying get the Coil Spring mounted on the new Strut Assy and could not get it on. I then checked Angie's List for an automotive repair center and found Steve Swyka's shop (an A+ rating). Dropped off the Strut and explained to the technician what I needed done. Two or three days later Swyka called to say that the repair was completed. Being very busy, I was unable to stop by immediately that Saturday but asked if they were open on Sunday (not expecting that they would be) and Steve replied that he would be willing to drive by the shop and let me pick up the Strut Assy. Talked with the owner for about 10 minutes and was impressed with his easy going personality and professionalism. I asked Steve what the "damage" was for mounting the suspension spring on the new Strut and he said "not a thing". Now who the heck does such a thing in this day and age? I plan to use Steve Swyka as a primary automotive servicer. I don't expect anything for free so I bought the entire crew lunch (grin).
Description of Work: The very first thing that I noticed about Steve Swyka Auto was the positive attitude of everyone. This shows that they clearly enjoy their work (relatively rare in the service industry). My daughter's car needed a new Strut Assembly after she had hit a curb.

On my 2012 Mazda6: Have been having problems with mismatched tire, possibly brakes, and some miscellaneous noise. They rotated tires, but I returned a second time because the rotation did not help (made it worse); however this was not their fault. They were very good about me coming back and took care of it right away. They thought it was a front wheel bearing problem and told me to take it to the Mazda dealership. However this was not the case. I think the charge was a bit high for what they did - or didn't do - but they were very professional and I would recommend them.

I called for an appointment and took the car in today. All went well.
Description of Work: We had the oil changed and the winterizing service offered on the web site. They were professional, prompt, explained everything and went the extra mile to clean off some white paint resulting from my backing up into the garage (ahem). I am definitely going back.
