If you've never been able to use the words: mechanics, trust, quality, fair and accommodating in the same sentence....now you can! Peterson Auto & Truck has been taking care of my older model vehicle for two years. Whenever I have a car issue I try to educate myself to know what I'm in for.... Peterson's has never tried to pull one over on me, or up-sell me. I've always found them to be honest, provide great quality at a fair price and Kevin goes above and beyond to make your experience better than hoped for. Quality work, Trusted advice, Accommodating service & hours at Fair pricing....Peterson Auto & Truck has always exceeded my expectations....give 'em a try, I think you'll be glad you did!

At the end of November 2013 I paid Peterson Auto over $600.00 for repairs they found were neede on the front end of my vehicle seals, etc. included in this was a front end alingment I returned my car because it was still drifting to the right & had a chattering feeling on the front end, that was another $100 + dollars. Today I am at another garage my font tires are worn on the outside the cars alingment is in horrible condition and I now have to start all over. I called and told them it was not right but they continued to tell me it was fine. I would hate to think that being a trusting person and a women would give them the right to take advantage. All I can say is what goes around comes around. Be careful if you bring your car to Petersons.

Usually I do not do reviews but this place deserves one! I was very very impressed with the owner, Kevin, he was friendly & polite, honest and fair! I will be back to get more work done on my car. no pressure< he gave me the quote did the work and was a cool dude too! I haven't stopped talking about Peterson Auto since I left. Support Local ...check them out....two locations!

Overall

I happen to work nearby Peterson's, so let me begin by promoting the fact that these guys give up to a 20% discount because of it..not too shabby, considering that most auto places want to charge MORE! I had my starter die on me a few months back..but these guys were great at making me get a little piece of mind. No tow charges at all, reasonable price & friendly service. I, unfortunately, had my alternator just die on me yesterday, but knew I could count on Peterson's to get me back on the road. My repair & oil change was completed first thing the next day. Not one single complaint AAAAAAA++- HANDS DOWN

This is the only place i go to have any car work done, THE ONLY PLACE. They are honest with the customers and fix the problem right the first go round. Owners like to race decked-out bikes on their free tme, so you know these mechs arent just some monkey's with renches. Bought a car with a slipping clucth (actually burnt clucth) and brought it here for repairs bc my girlsfriends dad said they did great work. Now my car is chripping all the way through 3rd gear and its been over three months, thus great parts and installation. Point is, no a days its getting really hard to trust poeple. You have no idea who your bringing you car/truck to trust them to have repairs done honestly, correctly, and done right. There guys love what they do, do it right, and wont charge you a years pay. Currently a fulltme worker and college student, so money is earned through blood and sweat. They did a great job thats why I'm infroming everyone else of the quality of Peterson's!

I found this shop on the web and I'm glad that I did. All the good reviews on here are the truth. The customer service is excellent. The job they did on my Cadillac was great and now I feel that all the places I went for service in the past including the dealership were just ripp offs. Peterson Auto & Truck takes care of business and I would recommend this auto shop to anyone who's looking for the best service in town.

Best shop I have ever found and here is why. I have never had a business so interest in my being 100 % satisfied as Peterson Auto and Truck. Kevin or Chris most patiently and thoroughly discuss what work needs to be done. They won't over sell you or over price you. Even if you have been going to your favorite shop in the past, I would say stop in and talk to Kevin or Chris. I believe you will switch to Peteson for all you future repair work. I did. 2003 Cadillac. 5*****

Peterson Truck and Auto is by far the best garage that I have ever used for any of my vehicles. They are professional and have a great work ethic. They go above and beyond to make sure that their customers are satisfied. They immediately diagnosed water in the fuel tank of my diesel truck and took care of the problem right away. I will highly recommend their services to all of my friends, and will continue to have my newly purchased 2003 Ford F250 Super Duty Diesel truck serviced by them. Thank you!

This place's motto is to cater to women but not women who know their way under the hood of a car. First problem, I told them to replace my upper and lower radiator hoses which are rotting out - the service dept took it upon themselves to not change because they had not sprung a leak yet (wanted changed because I am doing more traveling and I did not want to get stuck on the side of the road when one does decide to "spring a leak." I also was charged $69.95 for a/c recharge that was not done (they told me that the freon would not hold) but for the last 6 months I have had another auto mechanic put in freon and my a/c would stay cold for about a month. After I left Peterson, I went directly the other mechanic to find out if they put in freon, I was told no. Lastly, I left Peterson and got directly on a high speed highway and their mechanic did not latch my hood down. Oh, but I did get a stuffed animal.....thanks but I would have preferred air, new hoses, and my safety, more!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Charles Cardwell March 14 at 10:38am Report : I came into Peterson Auto Repair after having gotten a diagnosis from another repair shop that said it would cost more than the worth of my truck. However, I brought it into Peterson Auto repair, and come to find out, the original diagnosis was wrong. The people at Peterson Auto took really good care of me, and kept in constant contact letting me know what the real problem was. Not only did they let me know what the real issue was, it wasn't going to cost me half as much as what I was previously told. Thanks to the good people at Peterson Auto Repair, I am back behind the wheel of my truck, and it's running great. ,

James Hall March 15 at 8:49am Report Ok here we go off the cuff.... "Nothing but good things to say about Peterson Automotive! I was out of town on business when my aunt called and said she was broke down!!!! I remember seeing an ad for Peterson Automotive and how there are "Woman Owned & A Female Friendly Garage". Lisa and Kevin were wonderful! They didn't take advantage of my aunt in her time of need and because of that they have a customer for life! Thank you! James

they actually listen to the customer!

i know just enough about engines and cars to be dangerous. with that being said i brought my F-150 in and informed kevin what i thought might be going on with the charging system. he listened, checked it out and i was right as well as one or two other issues he found. nice to be able to trust a shop for once.

Went to Peterson Auto and he gave me a great price and he was very honest. It's been a while since my vehicle had been in the shop and I took it somewhere else and they said that I needed to do all kinds of work on it including new brake pads all around. I didn't tell Peterson that I took it to another mechanic but I asked him to check the other areas that the other mechanic said needed to be fixed just to see what he would say. He told me that my front brakes had plenty of life left but I needed to replace the rear. Besides that he said everything looked great! This is my first time going to Peterson Auto & Truck and I am a customer for life. It's been tough finding an honest quality mechanic since my other one closed a few years back. Thanks Peterson Auto!!!

great service

The guys at Peterson were great. They looked over everything and then discussed the repair with me. Everything was great and they even saved the old parts to show me what all broke.

GREAT REPAIR SHOP AND GREAT SERVICES. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SHOP.

Very honest and professional people that know what they’re doing. Let me tell you my testimony:

I work in a transportation department with couriers cars. This place has been taking care of a fleet of 8 2007 Toyota Corolla (so far so good). 3 cars are well over 300K miles and still running great thanks to the maintenance provided by them (1 is almost 400K miles). They offer great services along with fair prices. You will find the best products in the market (BG, AMSOIL, etc.)

Do not hesitate to visit this place and check them out.

The Best Around

Run, don't walk, to Peterson Auto & Truck when you need a competent, trustworthy mechanic to take care of your vehicle. Kevin Peterson and his professional, friendly staff have taken tender loving care of my 2000 BMW, serviced it and repaired it, at a reasonable cost. They never sell me what I don't need! I keep coming back because they deliver excellent service, all the time. They explain the procedures they do without "talking down," and they don't assume that the customer knows nothing about cars. It can be confusing to look for a reliable mechanic; well, quit looking and call these guys.
