J & L Service Center in St Albans City, Vermont

I've been going here for various services the last 6 years and there have been good experiences and bad. Everything from state inspections to full engine rebuild. The owner and his wife are kind people who try their hardest to provide good customer service, especially to loyal customers. But I doubt the honesty of the mechanics, who seem to blame the customer if something isn't working properly rather than admit fault. My husband had to take his car in FOUR times to have tires changed/rebalanced because it was done wrong the first time. We ended up taking it elsewhere and they had no issues correcting the wobbling sensation driving at high speeds. Overall, I'd consider taking my vehicle here again for mechanical issues but not maintenance.

I had an amazing tech who thoroughly explainwd what is wrong, and what should be serviced soon to avoid costly repairs. I didn't feel there there was any pressure to do anything extra or unnecessary, as with some shops. The front desk staff is always friendly, knowledgable and fun.

Local shop with fair prices and decent service.
