We used to go to another local shop nearby that was just terrible..they will happily take your money without delivering quality work. Finding Drew's Automotive Services has been a total game-changer. It's a wonderful husband-and-wife run business, and both of them are so genuine, welcoming, and kind. Getting to know them has been such a great experience. On top of that, he worked for years at a Toyota dealership and worked his way up, so knowing he has that solid background and expertise brought so much extra peace of mind when he serviced my Toyota! He has been extraordinarily patient with me, taking the time to thoroughly explain everything, answer all my questions, and double-check every detail so I feel completely confident in the work being done. Plus, his pricing is super fair and reasonable. He isn't out to overcharge you or push unnecessary work (feels rare these days)... he gives you real, honest value for exceptional quality. The professionalism and care that he and his team bring to every job is unmatched. Our family has trusted him with multiple vehicles now, and the results speak for themselves. After he replaced the control arm on my dad's car, my dad couldn't stop talking about how smooth the drive was. Even after a recent oil change, my dad immediately noticed how much better and responsive the car felt. He also did a full brake service on my previous Toyota and the quality was top-tier. Honest, transparent, reasonably priced, and skilled mechanics who take genuine pride in their work are extremely rare! they are truly a diamond in the rough. I'm so relieved to have found a team I can trust, and I'm excited to have them service all my future cars. I almost hesitated to write this review because I know how busy he's going to get, but they fully deserve it! 10/10 recommend!! (Side note: I intentionally held off on writing a review right after my first service because I wanted to make sure the consistency was there over time. After having him complete multiple services on two cars and building that genuine trust, I can 100% say it's time, and the praise is well earned!)

I contacted my roadside assistance at 7:22 PM for help with a flat tire. A&L Towing arrived around 7:48 PM. The driver appeared to be very young and arrived wearing a black T-shirt, yellow shorts, and black slides. When I asked if he was planning to change my tire wearing slides, he told me he had been asleep and had just woken up because his father told him to come help me. After retrieving my spare tire and using my lug wrench, he struggled to remove the lug nuts. Instead of using the proper equipment, he repeatedly attempted to force different lug wrenches onto the wheel bolts by striking one wrench with another. I became concerned as I watched him move from wheel to wheel trying different methods. When I asked if he needed assistance, he declined. He then made a FaceTime call to his father, speaking in another language. After the call, he informed me that his father was going to cancel my roadside assistance request. He collected his tools, drove away, then returned just a couple of minutes later saying he needed to take a picture of my wheel so his father could cancel the service request. At that point, I contacted my roadside assistance provider to report that my tire was still flat and that A&L Towing had left without completing the job. Around 10:15 PM, more than two hours later, A&L Towing returned--this time with a young female driver, who advised she was the owner's daughter. She asked if I needed help changing my flat tire. I explained that her brother had already canceled my service request and that another towing company had already been dispatched. She then told me she was there to tow my vehicle, but I declined because I preferred to wait for the replacement service provider. When the second towing company arrived, the driver immediately examined my wheel and told me that my lug bolts had been freshly stripped. He asked whether anyone else had attempted to remove the tire before he arrived. After I explained what had happened, he confirmed that the damage was consistent with the previous driver's unsuccessful attempts to force the tools onto the lug bolts. He also believed the reason the first driver returned to photograph my wheel was to document its condition after the damage had already occurred. This entire experience demonstrated a lack of professionalism, inadequate training, poor communication, and unacceptable workmanship. I experienced an unnecessary delay of more than three hours, my roadside assistance request was canceled without my authorization, and my vehicle was damaged during an unsuccessful repair attempt. If A&L Towing is sending inexperienced drivers to perform roadside assistance, they should be properly trained, supervised, and equipped before being dispatched to customers. Roadside assistance customers deserve competent, professional service--not damaged vehicles and hours of unnecessary inconvenience. Unfortunately, based on my experience, I cannot recommend A&L Towing.
