    Excellent automotive service. We were getting a few local diagnoses for AC/compressor replacement/repair. Schaefer offered the lowest price diagnosis for repairs. Diagnosis was $79.99, not applicable toward actual labor or repairs. No AAA … More or AARP discount. They do offer a discount for first responders & teachers.I appreciate the email quote so I could look it over without feeling rushed. It was detailed, honest, and fair.The shop itself has a clean waiting area with a Keurig, for those who want a hot cup of fresh coffee.Service and communication were fast and friendly.The location signage could be better...they've recently relocated and a bigger/lower sign might be beneficial.Not related to actual automotive service, but important to me nonetheless from a customer service standpoint:I will also note the manager's use of a typical line on the phone "I can't hear you; you're breaking up." with callers that have an accent (My husband has an accent and the manager mentioned when I called to confirm the appointment that he was "breaking up and had a bad connection" when he scheduled the estimate. The connection was fine.)I also saw the manager apologize and hang up on someone with a Spanish accent (Mgr said "Mexican", because I absolutely questioned it since we're new customers and I'd heard the same line from the same person). It seems there could be a bias here--abd I KNOW telephone calls.are difficult. Having said that, I will also say *all* customers deserve the excellent over the phone service I received, accent or not. It's absolutely OK to say, "I can't understand you over the phone, please come by the shop to talk about your car."This is just my 2 cents worth. I still appreciate the conversation and automotive work itself.‍

    These guys are wonderful! I have been going to them for years and they always fix the problem the first time. They are very kind and helpful easy to work with. Explain what’s happened to my vehicle and what they are going to do to fix it.literally … More showed me pictures so I could understand it. They get you in for service In a timely manner. And they warranty their work.

    Very efficient, helpful, and reasonably priced! We had an acute issue come up with the motor for one of the back windows and Schaefer got us in quickly and provided a lot of helpful information just during the initial phone call. Highly … More recommended and I will definitely continue coming here for any vehicle issues that arise.

    Great service and phenomenal pricing. Got my vehicle in and out fast with no issues. Replaced a head gasket on a new Chrysler cheaper than the dealer would.
