Came here on super short notice due to a rusty screw that wouldn't budge & license plate removal/replacement. Everyone I interacted with was very helpful and kind! I am just a girl that knows minimal about cars & I'm happy to have found a shop near me that I will be frequenting for any future car maintenance & repairs.

I have known Rob and his family for many years. Although I was sad to hear they sold the shop when I brought my car in for service, I was far from disappointed. I was able to meet the new ownership/management team. Wonderful people and made me feel like family. They kept up the service i have loved for 15 years. Robb was super friendly and knowledgeable. The work was completed on time and correctly. Still life long customer.

Best mechanics in the US north of south Florida. The crew installed all new suspension on my 2006 Chevy Silverado 6.0 Vortec full of tornadoes. That sumbia was fast but now we’re zippin round corners and whipping through traffic with a swiftness.

We have a 27-year-old Toyota Camry that required a muffler repair and two new engine mounts. We had spent 2 weeks working with a different auto repair shop in the area and a local Toyota dealer. The auto repair shop did not install the flex hose to the muffler correctly, creating a serious vibration when the engine idled. When we took the vehicle back to the shop, they advised that the flex hose they installed was not the problem. After a 4-hour examination of our vehicle, they proposed a series of unrelated, unnecessary repairs that would cost thousands of dollars. The local Toyota dealer advised they do not repair the flex hose on a muffler and that one engine mount was worn and required repair. It would take several days to acquire the part before they could schedule the repair sometime in the future at a cost exceeding $900. We took our vehicle to Applewood Auto service at 3:00 p.m. on a Monday afternoon. Sam, the Applewood District Manager, inspected our vehicle and then invited my wife and I into the service bay, under the car, to explain the repairs he proposed in detail. He answered questions in a clear and forthright manner. Sam explained that flex hose connection to the muffler needed to be shortened by 1 inch to eliminate the vibration. He further explained that two engine mounts had significant wear. He pointed them out on the engine block while were under the vehicle in the service bay. He advised that a repair to just one of the mounts would place additional strain on the other worn mount, causing a failure of that mount in the near future. Sam quoted a price to: 1.) Repair the flex hose connection to the muffler, and 2.) Replace two engine mounts. His proposal was significantly less than the Toyota dealer cost to replace just one engine mount. Mason, his parts manager, located the engine mounts and had them delivered on Tuesday, the following day. We took the vehicle into the shop at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday and the repairs were completed by 1:00 p.m. We drove the vehicle home and were elated to find that vibration was gone and the engine was stable with the two new mounts. In less than 24 hours, Applewood Auto Service resolved both issues to our complete satisfaction at a fraction of the cost. I had an opportunity to observe the operation of the shop over a 3-hour period while repairs were conducted. The staff conduct their business with a quiet, professional efficiency. They complement one another well, creating a unique synergy in their work. Their individual and collective actions foster a sense of trust in both the quality and reliability of their service. Mason telephoned the following day to ensure we were satisfied with their work. Trust is difficult to quantify. I know when I have it and I know when I don't. After this experience, we intend to use Applewood Auto Service for all of our automotive maintenance and repair work in the future. We can offer no higher tribute than that !!

Better price than what the dealer had quoted me. They got me in immediately and had my car back to me surprisingly quickly. Will be bringing my car here from now on.

Was looking for a locally owned and operated mechanic and I'm very please with the work that Applewood Auto Service did on my 2012 Ford Edge. The quote was spot on for time and cost. Very professional! I'll be coming back when I need more work done! Thank you very much!

Recently I took our Wrangler Jeep in to have a bushing replaced where the stick shift connects to the transmission. We were recommended by a friend of ours as she's been taking her cars there for years. The service was excellent, very fair pricing and we feel like we just found our new trusted automotive mechanic. We highly recommend this business.

UPDATE: Jan2026: My issue has been resolved by Applewood. The manager and regional manager both worked with me in a professional manner to get my part replaced which Mazda would not cover and the shop agreed to repair out of caring for an existing customer. Thank you. Nov2025 Applewood Service Center replaced my front brakes and rotors. These were under warranty. Less than a month later, the brakes were squeeking again. Because they were under warranty, they replaced the brakes and rotors again. This time doing extra inspections on the car in order to find out why the parts began to wear so quickly. They identied the root cause and informed me immediately. Their attention to details and honest customer service makes them top notch. I will continue to take my car into their shop.

Applewood Service Center has consistently been outstanding. We've brought several vehicles to them for suspension work, and every job has been handled smoothly and professionally. Victoria at the front desk is always welcoming and knowledgeable, while John, the technician, offers valuable insights that help us navigate day-to-day automotive challenges. Their expertise and customer service make them a go-to shop. I confidently give them a 5-star rating and highly recommend them for any car-related issues.

Super huge shout out to Applewood Auto service. A few months ago I went to the dealership because my car was having issues and they pretty much told me I needed to replace my transmission or get a whole new car. I went to Applewood for a second opinion and they did a great job of explaining all the issues my car was having with photos and clear explanation. They were able to get me in in a timely manner and make the repairs to my car. When the issue hadn't fully gone away they were super great about getting me back on the schedule and seeing what else was wrong. They were able to get my car fixed for less than it was going to cost me to replace my car or transmission. It's been over 2 months and I have had no issues with my car. I will definitely be back for any repairs I need.

I had an issue showing up in my car and brought it here for inspection. The technician spent over 30 minutes diagnosing the problem thoroughly and didn’t rush a single step. The receptionist was welcoming and professional, which set a great first impression. What I really appreciated was how clearly everything was explained—every error, every technical detail. That level of transparency matters to me. If you’re looking for a place you can genuinely trust with your car, this is it.
