What do their customers think?
One fan of the company publicly wrote, “Had an issue where one of our student drivers put diesel in the tank of our van. We shopped around hearing it most places would charge a minimum upwards of $500 for the servicing. Contacted Sid’s as one of four potential places to work with and the price range estimated was half that of others. Had the van towed in for service and they had it up and running the same day under the higher amount they quoted. We have been driving the van for the past week and honestly, it runs better than before the issue occurred. Very fortunate to have found Sid’s and have them resolve the issue!”
Another fan of Sid’s Auto Service publicly wrote, “Went in for A/C evac/recharge + synthetic oil change. Why they got 5 stars: Best quoted price, stuck to the quoted price They found out o-ring on drier was the wrong size, diagnosed, replaced, and recharged again for a very reasonable small charge (other places would have doubled my bill). Very polite, saw me promptly and had a garage big enough to fit my big van.”
