★★★★★ Initial review after repairs: I urge anyone with an old high mileage vehicle that needs repairs to go to South Western Motors. Niko facilitated my repairs. The man was polite and very honest about the condition of my car and all the repairs needed to in order for the vehicle to be operable for my plans. The cost was reasonably good for the repairs done. Overall I am very satisfied with the repairs that fixed my rough idle and acceleration. These men know their way around old high mileage cars. I am very grateful of the work done. This place was worth the long journey I took to have them fix my car. A1!!! ------------------------------------------------ Update 10/13/2025 I regret coming to this shop. The main purpose for me traveling a distance coming to this shop for diagnostic and repairs is the expertise of old high mileage vehicles. It was imperative for me to get a full diagnostic of my engine before I consented to subsequent repairs . I emphasized that if my head gaskets, belts, or hoses were not up to par, then I was just going to retire this car because of the age and mileage of the car. I asked about the condition of my gasket, belts, and hoses and I was told that those items were fine and those items did not contribute to the vibration issues I was having. They knew I wanted my gasket, belts and hoses diagnosed because I was going to drive it far. Well after I paid for the vibration repairs, they told me car was fine I would not have issues with the gasket, belts, or hoses. I made sure to test the car myself before driving far in it. Well, after 2 weeks my engine overheated after the gasket blew the upper coolant hose and caused more damages that has now temporarily rendered my car useless. The diagnosis to my gaskets wasn't done like I requested which made me waste too much money for a car I am not safely able to drive. This is not good business ethics. They are not returning my messages. I do not recommend this establishment. ------------------------------------------------ Update 10/20/2025 I finally received a call directly from the owner regarding my issue. He apologized and explained the reason for the delayed response which I full accept. I was told to get the car back there to be checked out. Damages from the blown gasket, busted hose, and towing is already setting me back. Being 2 hours away to have the car re-diagnosed and fixed is going to take an effort. I will update this review accordingly. For now, I'm adding back a star.... ------------------------------------------------ Update 10/24/2025 After paying for wiring, hose, and a temporary gasket fix I was fortunately able to drive my car with this damaged engine all the way back to South Western Motors. I handed the key over directly to the owner. I am waiting for an update on the repairs... ------------------------- Update 11/05/2025 The owner has made a great effort to get my car issues resolved. I picked up my car and drove it two hours. My car didn't overheat which is a good sign for the moment. I am down to an intake air temperature sensor and a massive air flow sensor issue. They replaced more parts while not charging me for the labor which is greatly appreciated since I absorbed too much already to get my car back running. Back to my optimism with this establishment. A star is well worth being restored for the time being...Thanks ------------------------------------ Update: 03/03/2026 I am satisfied how the last repairs have been holding up. I haven't driven the car much since the owner handled the last repairs, and I am still driving this old car around with the intake and air flow sensors throwing codes. I am adding that original 5 star rating back because the work done is finally holding up as I initially expected. I need to make my way back to the shop to get the massive airflow sensor cleaned and another diagnostic done just in case. I really appreciate the excellent work!!

★★★★★ I can't say enough positive things about this establishment! Niko is the ❤️ heart of South Western Motors. He's honest, informative, knowledgeable, and truly a man of his word! He has worked on my vehicle many times, and I will always bring my car to him for help. He goes over and beyond the call of duty. Bless him and his establishment for all they do! You'll see, give him your business!

★★★★★ My wife and I had our VW Passat repaired here. After getting the run around at the dealership for over 1 month and then doing research and shopping for an additional month we found South Western Motors. I immediately knew this would be the right place as Nico gave the most efficient and detailed written estimate I'd ever seen. He then gave us two repair options and tried the least expensive 1st. Our engine had too much damage so that didn't work out but the 2nd option wasn't that much more expensive. We've had our car back for about 3 weeks now and it runs great. Nico also taught us some things outside of what the dealers tell you to help keep any car running great. I hope that I never need another major repair for any of my cars but if I do I'm coming here. South western motors will get all my car repair business from this point on. Hey Nico, I just saw that you give 15% discounts to certain local employees, I forgot to tell you where I work. Is it too late for that discount? 😉🤣
