All Around Auto Repair provides a variety of general repair services for all types of vehicles at its Windsor facility, from scheduled maintenance work and oil changes to engine overhauls and transmission repairs. In addition to working on most makes and models of cars, the company can service recreational vehicles, boats and motor homes.
Owner Dale Johnson credits All Around Auto Repair’s success to its pragmatic approach to dealing with customers’ car problems, which includes performing comprehensive diagnostic testing before any work begins. “When it comes to repairing cars, we believe in testing, not guessing,” he says. “By diagnosing a car before working on it, we can ensure the right repair is performed the first time, which saves our customers money in the long run.”
All Around Auto Repair believes in developing personal relationships with customers so they feel comfortable bringing in their cars for future repairs and recommending the company to others. “When a customer comes into our shop, they’ll really get to know the person who works on their car,” says Mr. Johnson. “Even over the phone, we make sure to treat our customers like friends.”
“We strive to put the ‘customer’ back in customer service. Our customers mean a lot to us, so we go out of our way to take care of them in any way we can, from providing free estimates to educating them about their repairs. We take pride in our work and want every person who comes into our shop to have a positive experience.”
