I’ve come to Sterling since 2019 and I’ve never felt more comfortable with a mechanic. He takes the time to explain what’s going on with my car, doesn’t charge me unnecessary costs, doesn’t pressure me to get more work done than I asked, and has just been an overall pleasure to work with. I couldn’t recommend everyone over there enough.

Positive: Quality
Sterling was absolutely amazing. I called about an issue with an oil leak and he talked me through it over the phone and when I couldn’t figure it out he drove to my house and figured out the issue and helped me fix it for free! He’s a lifesaver.

From now on we are never bringing our vehicles to anyone but Sterling! Several years ago, I totaled my vehicle and sterling went so truly above and beyond. My car was beyond repair, and so while I didn't end up having any work done on it, I never forgot how genuinely helpful Sterling was.
Just recently, our Hyundai Sonata's clutch went out while we were driving it. It has less than 60k miles on it. We had it towed to the first autoshop we could get ahold of, but I got ahold of Sterling shortly after. I told him how little I knew about vehicles and since he had helped me so much in the past (without

Noticed my power steering fluid was a bit low but all the shops in town were booked out for weeks. Sterling had me stop by the same day for a quick look, didn't notice any leaks, topped it off and had me on my way. I've brought my truck in before to Sterling and always have had a great experience. They never push things you don't need, are always honest, and explain everything in detail. I'll continue to bring my vehicle to these guys!

Sterling is 1 in a million, you just don't find good people like him any more! For any parents looking for a shop that they can trust to send their kids to, this is the guy! For that matter anyone looking for a shop they can trust this is the place. He helped our son get back on the road, was more than fair and went above and beyond! Highly recommend!

The very nice owner Sterling came to my residence (which is close to his shop) to diagnose my vehicle! We couldn't find the problem which drained my battery, but it was a relief to see my truck start and actively charge my battery. Such a courtesy doesn't seem to exist in this age! I can't recommend Sterling and his business enough, when I have another issue I know who I'm going to, what a guy!

I was told by another shop in the area that I needed a slew of new parts and repairs, headed down to sterling for a second opinion and the lead man checked out my car, topped off the power steering fluid oil and the car stopped making noises (why couldn't the other shop do that??). He told me to take it home and check the fluid in another month to see how bad my leak was, anyway, very honest mechanic who you can tell takes pride in his work.
Who knows how severe the issue with my car is, only time will tell, but the point is he didn't try to convince me that it needed immediate attention like

Sterling is an amazing small business owner. When you walk into his shop, you feel welcome and it becomes quickly clear that customer service is a real priority to him and his employees.
Do you know that feeling of walking into an automotive place, and you know they are going to try and swindle you? I have NEVER had that experience at Sterling Automotive. They are reasonable, great at what they do, and don't try to pull the rug out from under you.
I'm a teacher too, and Sterling has always been gracious in offering me a discount. There was even a time when I was in there with my daughter, and
