Chris fit me in on short notice for an inspection when I was failed for inspection at Monro in Malta yesterday for my wipers. They fully inspected my car and my wipers, found nothing wrong and completed my inspection. They were great. Will only come here from now on!

Brake shuddering totally gone, suspension repairs and alignment seem great, tight and well controlled steering; all seems excellent so far at a much better price and customer focused relationship.than the dealership I have been dealing with.

Solid experience. I arrived unnanoucned, with my Volvo on a flatbed with a dead starter. I was able to provide a part within a few days, and in less than a week my car was ready. The crew had to push my 4000lb tank across the parking lot, so much appreciated for your efforts! This is a third generation family run business. I respect the owner for being so transparent, and not looking to nickel and dime me for extras. Knowledgeable, easy going, and friendly staff. If you're unsure about where to bring your car, don't over think it.. Just go to Ed Sears. As someone who's done all of my own work, from exhaust, brakes, suspension, water pumps, and more, I can tell when a shop is sketchy— and Sears is NOT one of those shops.

This place is exceptional. The owner is very knowledgeable, friendly, and just plain helpful. I had jumped to the conclusion that I needed a head gasket repair, and he helped me understand that it wasn't quite so clear based on the work I had done so far. Very thankful for this place and I'll be sure to come back!

We havent needed any major work done but even for oil changes and inspections - not significant jobs - Chris has been friendly and kind, quick to fit me in. He and his team are efficient and professional. We wont hesitate to take our vehicles to him for any work that our cars need in the future.

I m from out of state and needed urgent repairs so I could get home the next day (leaving a mere 11 business hours later). Chris squeezed my extensive car repairs in and got me home on time. The prices are reasonable, Chris is friendly and helpful, and I wish that this was my local garage!

Needed an oil change and Chris was able to fit me in the following day. Love the attention to detail and no nonsense advice from past experience. Glad to see the updated technology in use by garage. They also support the larger tire diameters now for mounting and balancing. I trust them when it comes to making servicing decisions to address needed repairs.

Ed and his staff are professional, punctual, knowledgeable, honest and reasonably priced. Ed explains the work required and updates you on the status of the repair. Ed is açcomidating with scheduling repairs whether routine maintenance or critical repairs. Ed and his staff treat customers like family. Its refreshing to be able to go to a shop were the staff knows your name and your not just a number or job ticket. Thanks Ed Sears and staff for all you do for our county.

The bottom plate of car was loose and it started making a loud noise while I was driving on 87. I pulled over and eventually stopped here. The mechanic was really nice and zip tied the plate for me, which was enough to get me home. I offered to pay him and he refused to accept any money. They seem like an honest and good mechanic. Highly recommend.

Hands down the absolute nicest and honest people I have ever met. I called last week about a car I bought in a private sale. Long story short, the guy I bought the car from told me what the issues where. I spoke with Chris, he called on parts to get me the best price. He then told me to bring it in so he could personally take a look so I m not thinking I need work I don t need done completed. Turns out, what I told was completely inaccurate and that what I purchased was in fact unsafe. He need charged me for taking the time out of his morning to do this for me. He was completely honest about it all. Once I buy a new vehicle, I will have any and all work from now on done here including inspections and oil changes. I will recommend these guys to everyone I know.

I had an emergency alternator issue in sub zero weather. Ed fit me into his schedule asap and ordered the part. His price was reasonable. He gave me a ride home while the work was done. He was very personable and professional. He did an awesome job! He even topped off the oil and anti-freeze without me asking. I will never go anywhere else for my car needs. Super positive experience.
