Words from our clients

Absolutely incredible customer service. Trustworthy and they get things done in a timely manner. I was a little all over the place when I went in to get my emissions done and they were extremely patient as well as courteous. I will be using Yates automotive from now on. You guys made my day. 10/10 service!!!

"First Class ! Went in for a basic oil change/service and received a freshly washed, clean vehicle at no additional cost; totally unexpected. Extremely personable service. I'll never go anywhere else."

My wife purchased an interior car detailing for Fathers Day, and I just want to say Thank You to the crew at Yates! We were both blown away by the work that was done to bring my 4 year old cloth seats (with plenty of wear from our toddler) back to NEW condition! I could not believe it. I didn’t think it was possible! We noticed during the holidays that the crew was having a Christmas Party in their shop and loved that Yates hosted a party to celebrate, so we wanted to find a way to support the business. I will be telling everyone I know about their services, and highly recommend the car detailing to anyone who wants to see their car look like dealership new again!

Yates automotive is a “White Whale” in the local auto repair business. They are highly skilled, customer focused and high integrity. I recently had my 2008 Jaguar XKR diagnosed by Yates for a warning light issue after receiving a really expensive diagnosis elsewhere. Yates honestly diagnosed it as a loose electrical connection and a minor repair. Well done Rob and the Yates family for your integrity. You now have my business on all 3 of our cars!!
