Seaside Auto Repair

Top notch

If you value honesty, reliability, experience and a family owned and operated business, Wayside Garage is the place for you. I have done business with Wayside for 14 years and have never had a single complaint. I truly can't say enough good things about Sam, Stacey, their daughters and all of the mechanics at the garage. They are all down to earth, pleasant, good people who care about their customers. Their equipment and technology are state of the art and provide extensive information for correcting all of your vehicle's problems. They start each job with a thorough inspection of your vehicle and provide detailed information to you via a website link they send in a text message when the inspection is complete. The website provides photos, videos and descriptions of everything they find during the inspection. They will inform you of the issues with your vehicle and offer advice on how and when to correct the problems. They never push you to buy anything you don't need. When repairs are made, they are completed correctly and as quickly as possible. I have never had to take any of my vehicles back to them for incorrect or improper repairs. They do fantastic work. I have recommend Wayside Garage to my friends an family on numerous occasions and will continue to do so for years to come.

This family operation really helped us out. Our Ford 150 had air conditioning problems. The first place we visited said we needed a whole new system, and the estimate was nearly $1,000. The second serviced the air conditioner, added Freon, and said we were good to go for $250. Still didn't work. The folks at Wayside had to take their time to diagnose the problem, a broken cycling switch, and Oder the part to fix it. Their fee was well under the first estimate even though they put in ours of labor figuring out the problem. Many thanks!

I was very pleased with the quality, quickness and professionalism of the service I was provided for my vehicle.

Absolutely wonderful.

I want to say that all the women in the office are very nice and friendly. Customer service was just fine. However, Wayside unfortunately wasn't able to fix my car. My car wouldn't start, and I took it into Wayside where they said I needed a new alternator, which is a pricey replacement (about $700), but understandable if that's the problem. I also asked them to replace a belt, which I was told was in pretty bad shape (I'm sure it was, the car is a 2004). After replacing the alternator and belt, I took the car home and 1) the new belt was screeching and had to be tightened, and 2) the next day the car again didn't start. After returning to Wayside, they could not immediately determine why my car continued to die, and quoted me another $350-400 bill just to continue running diagnostics. I couldn't really afford a $400+ bill in addition to the first one, so I decided to leave. They had to jump start my car just to get it out of the parking lot. I do not pretend to know anything about cars or the mechanic industry, but there were a couple of things that struck me the wrong way, that I believe are obvious to even those who are ignorant when it comes to fixing their car. When, after leaving Wayside, I took my car to a mechanic down the road, they were able to diagnose and fix the problem for under $200 and in a matter of an hour or two, which leads me to believe I was either overcharged or Wayside isn't as knowledgeable as its competitors. Also, it would seem to me that "best practices" would involve fixing the cheaper problems first, then jumping to a larger fix if necessary, such as replacing the alternator. In this case it was the opposite. Again, the women were very friendly, and I don't like complaining or telling someone how they should do their job, but the bottom line is that I wouldn't trust Wayside with my car in the future because it's clear that there are cheaper and equally effective and efficient alternatives.

This is a family business and they mean business. They do a great job are professional knowledgeable and always explain things clearly and are always smiling. I recommend them to my friends

First timer. Impessive. Will return.

You guys are the best ..... every visit .... since 2001 !! ????
