"Best experience I've ever had at auto repair shop. Diagnosed bad starter immediately and replaced with the "best of breed" rebuilt starter. I also replaced battery that was beginning to fail on their recommendation. Ed, April, and their team kept me up to speed regarding cost and they finished job at warp speed. Extremely impessive"

5-star review by Chris Thompson

"We love Ed's! April always explains everything very well, and when the brakes go out on your truck... You get it to Ed's to fix. I went to get a new battery for my truck and the gentleman at the auto parts store handed me Ed's card. Ed's is well known for being honest and they do great work.

5-star review by Amy

"We love Ed and his team here, our family has been using them for years for our vehicles. They have gone above and beyond to provide us with a personal and professional guest experiance over the years and will continue to use them for our maintenance needs."

5-star review by Bruce Mahnke

"Currently a snowbird from New York and was up against it when my car broke down. Ed’s automotive was there to the rescue. It took a little bit of time because the parts were special order, the service was fantastic. April the office manager did a fantastic job coordinating and ensuring that my car was fixed even though I was back in New York when completed. Very satisfied and I intend on using Ed’s Automotive in the future and highly recommend it to all!"

5-star review by Joe Schiavone

"Ed was awesome to work with on a claim for a mutual customer. He was quick to respond, easy to communicate with, and handled everything professionally from start to finish. It’s always a plus when small shops have someone like Ed who keeps things running smoothly. Definitely appreciated the help."
