Exactly what they said
I took my vehicle to CSE for the first time, since I had only heard positive things regarding their business. They were prompt, thorough, and charged me exactly what they said they would. I will absolutely take my vehicle to CSE for any future repairs.

Oil Change and More!
Was in for just an oil and filter change. Without asking, they topped off the windshield washer fluid, tested the antifreeze, inspected the belts and hoses, windshield wipers, and did an undercarriage inspection of the driveline and suspension.
As my vehicle is 4 years old, at my request, they performed a battery test. (The printout said battery was fine.)
Did not mind doing the undercarriage inspection together.
I think these guys are great. They believe in old-fashioned, top notch customer service.
CSE Auto from CSE Automotive responded on 01/21/2025 05:38 AM

It sounds like you received quite the royal treatment during your visit! We're glad to hear our team went above and beyond with the oil change and made sure your vehicle was in tip-top shape. It's like a spa day for your car, complete with all the inspections and checks—who knew maintenance could be so thorough? We're always here to deliver that old-fashioned customer service that keeps both our vehicles and our customers happy. If your car could talk, we bet it would be singing our praises too! Thank you for your business; we appreciate it!

Really good service and helpful
Happy New Year
I have been with CSE for years and the service continues to be stellar. Now I am sending my son for the first time with his car. Everything went well and I am happy they actually told him what to look out for in the future. It is nothing like having a mechanic you can trust and feel comfortable with.
Keep up the good work and thank you
CSE Auto from CSE Automotive responded on 01/08/2025 09:52 AM

Happy New Year to you as well! It's wonderful to hear that your experience with CSE has been consistently stellar over the years. We're delighted that your son had a positive first visit and walked away with valuable knowledge about his car—after all, knowledge is power when it comes to vehicles. Trust is key in any relationship, especially when it involves your car, so we're glad that you've found that with us. Here’s to many more years of reliable service and ensuring your vehicles are in tip-top shape! Keep enjoying the ride!

Excellent experience
Car was inspected promptly, recommendations were given. Due to a financial issue we had they didn’t push to have the recommendations fulfilled and were able to do the inspection and oil change for an extremely reasonable price. We have been using them for 25 years and are extremely happy with their work, professionalism and kind Coustomer service.
CSE Auto from CSE Automotive responded on 01/02/2025 08:48 AM

We appreciate your long-standing loyalty over the past 25 years! It’s fantastic to hear that our team could accommodate your situation without applying too much pressure – after all, we believe everyone deserves a little understanding now and then. We're glad you found our inspection and oil change to be reasonably priced, because who says you can't keep your car happy without breaking the bank? We're here to keep your wheels turning smoothly!

Honest Dependable and Fair
Needing work on a rare vehicle we were recommended to CSE by another customer and we now understand why. CSE has been great to us, helping us restore our project vehicle back to regular working order. We especially appreciate the friendly and communicative manner with which they handle their business. Would recommend the shop for any and all work.

Fantastic service with great personal attention!
It’s a rare thing these days to find a shop in a service industry that does a great job and does so with old school personal attention! This place does. Don’t hesitate to use them! Thank you @Tirerack for identifying CSE as a preferred installer. Happy that I now know of a full service local shop to whom I will be taking all of my automotive needs in the future!

Great people and great service!
Don’t hesitate to give CSE a try if you need regular or specialized service. Bill and company do custom work on our handicapped accessible van. They do work that not every mechanic can. We were referred many years ago to CSE by our regular mechanic because he was not equipped to do a necessary repair on our van. They even made custom pipes for the exhaust system on our van. We trust them with our vehicles.
CSE Auto from CSE Automotive responded on 11/15/2024 11:55 AM

Sounds like your vehicles are in the best hands! Custom exhaust pipes and reliable service? That's what we call a match made in automotive heaven.

Excellent, knowledgeable service
My 2003 VW Eurovan needed some repairs while traveling. These are somewhat unusual vehicles and not every shop can or will work on them. The folks at CSE know their stuff and we're great to work with. I wish I lived in the area, I would take all of my cars to them.
CSE Auto from CSE Automotive responded on 11/08/2024 09:54 AM

We're glad to hear you had a great experience with your Eurovan repair! If only we could clone ourselves to travel with you and fix all your cars. Safe Travels!

Typical great work
When I was young I used to take my car to the “Car Talk” guys’ garage. The work at CSE is every bit as good. ?. Period.

Honesty and integrity
I've been bringing my car to CSE Auto for probably 14 or 15 years now and I keep going back because I can trust them. They explain each repair and why it's necessary, and even suggest cheaper alternatives for things like tires. They do great work and, whether you know cars or not, they always give a fair price. I've been bringing my cars here for a decade and a half and will keep bring them for decades to come.

Wow, 14 years is like a car's lifetime! We're glad you found us, and feel we are a place you can trust; we aim to keep you rolling smoothly! That is exactly how we want our customers to feel.
