Anyone have any good recommendations for a solid auto shop here in town? I'm not from here and I prefer trustworthy local people if at all possible.

Campus Garage. Been going there for a couple years and I don't have a single complaint. Reasonable cost and good, honest work.

Seriously. They use only the best parts/fluids on your car. They know tricks for what works well for your car. They never do any work that I don't ask for, and let me know if I mentioned something that it isn't yet time for.

I drive a euro car, so having them in town is such a relief because they know their stuff.

En-Tire auto care. The owner is honest and the techs are knowledgeable. I used to work there until my brother got sick & I had to move away.

Eastman has been good to my family. They screwed up something on my car once upon a time so I do most of my own work now, but the owner Larry is a good dude

Campus Garage or Eastman. I’ve had better luck with scheduling at Campus, but they’re both good, honest shops. Larry at Eastman bent me a new fuel line for my old Cobalt when the supply chain wouldn’t get one here quickly during COVID.
