Mike-great service, knowledgeable friendly parts guys, clean waiting area and service department.

Dylan-service is incredible! The techs and professionals walk you threw exactly what you need and don't need. they won't up sale you. i once got a bad part 2 times, each time they did the 2hr job free of charge. they're respectable, nice and well mannered. they run a tight ship. most if not all parts you buy are under warranty, so if anything goes wrong they fix it on their dime, not yours. ALL the workers are very respectable! it's a really nice and CLEAN place to get your car fixed. Your feet won't stick to the floor when you walk in. All around 10/10 they've went above and beyond to help me. Even giving me passes on expensive scans to save me money. that's what it's all about. helping to the community. Powells is absolutely the place to bring your vehicle. they won't Sugar coat either if something is serious. they took me in the shop and showed me specifically what's wrong and why. when it had nothing to do with what I was getting fixed. they go above and beyond. you can't ask for much more honestly.

Allan-I commute in from KC occasionally to work in Clinton. Found a problem with my tire sidewall and needed it replaced before my commute back. They got the tire in that day from out of town and replaced it that same day at a great price. They also gave me a lift to work and back while they worked on the car. Totally saved the day!

Dean-We have had a couple of our cars worked on here. They have always done us right! They are priced very reasonable and are able to get us taken care of in a timely manner! I would definitely recommend using them! Now that our second car is done, I am getting ready to get them started on our next vehicle. Good to have a trustworthy mechanic close by! Thanks, Powell Auto!

Bill-They will treat you right. They will go all out to make you happy. Great customer service. Very Satisfied. Go section vehicles. They have a great team at Powell’s !
