My husband's tire blew out on the freeway on his way to work - he drives a large SUV. Tow truck driver Phillip Ward arrived to tow the vehicle. Phillip was informative, professional yet, friendly and went the extra mile to inform me of my options to get my tire changed and get me back on the road quickly and safely!

I called and talked to Josh on a Saturday and explained we traveled from out of town and the RV was not running well and was making a noise. He said I could bring it in then but I asked if Monday was okay and he said yes he would be waiting. He had to order parts so it took longer than we expected but he did his absolute best to get us repaired and on the road. We made it back home safe so to Josh and the young man that worked so hard to get us going, Thank you so much. God blessed us when he sent us to your shop. My grand daughter said everyone was nice.

All good things to say! I just retired from 43 years in the automotive business so I’m very familiar with how a business like this should operate and these folks certainly seem to have it figured out! Fast courteous and fair. Everyone one there was professional and polite especially Jim the service advisor. Jim treated me like I’d been going there for years and it was my first visit.. so pleasant I had them do all 3 of my cars and will be taking my Motorhome there as well.

I was so thankful for Stephen Meredith this morning!! I was on my way to work and my tire popped on 45. They are part of the Tow and Go program and after a little while they just showed up and put my spare on for free! It was a blessing, and I’m just so incredibly thankful for Stephen making an extremely stressful situation a lot easier! My husband is extremely grateful as well.

Milstead RV repair did an amazing job repairing our windshield wiper motor and driver’s side mirror. Colleen Ryan provided excellent customer service throughout the process. We all know RV parts are hard to come by but she bird dogged it to the finish line for us. This organization is trustworthy and dependable! So much better than going through a RC dealership. They have earned our confidence, trust and future RV and automotive business! Patsy Tschudy

The dispatch was very professional and handled my emergency well. Jesse came out quickly and was professional, honest and efficient. Very nice and great service overall!! Thanks Milstead. AAA left me stranded on the side of the road at 2:00am for over 3 hours. When I called Milstead, they were there within 30 mins. And had me loaded and on the way to my mechanics in 7 minutes.

A few days ago I had a tire blowout while driving on highway 45 heading south. After I heard the loud “boom” and realized it was from my tire bursting, I managed to quickly get off the main freeway but unfortunately I didn’t make it off the exit ramp. I pulled onto the shoulder of this exit ramp and prayed I would not get hit as vehicles swooshed past me.
When I was able to get out and look at the tire and the damage to the tire, I realized I would have to change the flat myself if I wanted to get home. To my surprise 2021 Toyota Corolla hybrids no longer come with a spare tire in the trunk

Called Milstead for an oil change for my RV. Since we are full time RVers and live in our RV it was important that we be able to wait while they did work. They ended up doing the job in less time than they quoted (1 hour) and less $$$ than they quoted, which was $50 less than Demontrond RV quoted us (and they quoted us 4-6 hrs to do an oil change). Overall we are very pleased with the professional job Milstead did. Would highly recommend Milstead Automotive to everyone.

All I'm going to say is the TOWING DEPARTMENT is very unprofessional. My main focus is how you talk to people and how you communicate with people, maybe because I'm a minority. But I don't think I was treated fairly. It started off ok but the way Mr. Richard did a 180 on me was unbelievable. Not all that, the way the tow truck driver talk to me was unreal. The job was done, but the level of service was not what I expected. I WOULD NEVER AND I MEAN NEVER USE THESE PEOPLE AGAIN!!!

This was my first time experience with this auto shop and the facility & resource has to justify the increased price in labor and parts. The only issue that I had is that they wouldn't use my parts and that's fine but considering this place has so
Much the fact that spark plugs would go missing from the box I left in my vehicle makes me see that the mechanic looked at my parts and well you can fill in the rest. I appreciate that I pay kindly and happily but to have parts missing right away is ridiculous. That's what I get for not going through my vehicle and checking everything

Milstead towing was the company my insurance GEICO used to tow my vehicle to the body shop. Well I have to say the driver that came out was very professional and he got my car there the same day seeing how busy they were! Thanks Milstead, keep up the good work!

I called Milstead for a tow truck after waiting 3 hours for roadside assistance through my insurance. Steven with Milstead arrived 5 MINUTES after the call!!! He was so nice, and so professional and got me out of my jam within minutes. Every single time I've used Milstead for anything, they have exceeded my expectations! I HIGHLY recommend them!

Took my 2009 Toyota Camry into Milstead and they did an amazing job at informing me exactly what was wrong and also gave alternative options. Greg helped me the hole way through out the repair. Prices are fair and work is WARRANTIED which is HUGE to me. This was not my first time going to Milstead and it won't be my last. Highly recommend HONEST and respectable place for automatics needs.

I cannot say enough great things about this place.

Every single person I encountered was a class act, from the tow truck drivers who were complete professionals at a very traumatic time, to the front desk staff, to the gentleman who helped me clean out my vehicle. They made a very stressful and scary situation, a tad bit easier with there excellent customer service.

This company isn't located near where I live but I would 100% refer them to anyone in my family.

Needed to complete a vehicle inspection and my husband turned down a stray road. He said they have a nice waiting room. The employees were polite and respectful from the moment we entered. They quickly completed the inspection and sent us on or way, but we still witnessed firsthand the high level of service they provided all the other customers while we waited. Great and speedy service overall!

This place seems to have great service. I've only had my oil changed here a few times, but for the most part they always do a fantastic job. The staff is kind, and their facilities are clean. They are a popular location on Rayford, so their wait times can be a bit too long. An oil change has taken over an hour most times. Never had a problem with them though! Very affordable. As far as other automotive work goes, I can't be too sure on that service.

Oh and they have drinks and snacks in their lobby while you're waiting!
