Very convenient location and a huge time saver compared to dealership service. Even when dealership maintenance is scheduled, this place is easily twice as fast. I've walked in for things like spark plugs replacement or an oil change and been done within an hour.
They prioritize working on cars rather than staffing the front desk - it can sometimes take longer to get someone's attention to talk or ask questions, since everyone is busy working on cars.
Overall, this place is efficient, practical, and great if you value speed and solid work over hand-holding

Herbert Automotive has performed every oil change for my truck. Just turned 100,000 miles and had literally everything serviced.
They are the best and very honest. I wouldn't think of going anywhere else.

I have been using Herbert’s for my vehicle maintenance and service for over 25 years!
I can genuinely say they have always superseded my expectations in really checking out my vehicles and asking me if I was aware. Like today I didn’t know I had a tail light out and I asked them to replace.
Every tire was about 10 lbs off. They fixed! Now it drives so much better! Not to forget all the fluids the checked and filled! I feel so much safer driving!

I’m extremely disappointed with the pre-purchase inspection I received here.
When I booked the appointment, I was told they would perform a general visual inspection, check fluids and and check underneath of the car for rust. Based on that, I reasonably expected the vehicle to be put on a lift as well. Instead, the inspection lasted about 30 minutes and the car was never lifted, only a quick look underneath with a flashlight.
At checkout, the person at the register could not explain the findings. He simply said “everything looks good” and mentioned the tires “could be better.” When I specifically asked about brake life and tire life, he didn’t know and shrugged, saying the technician “didn’t mention anything.” That’s not acceptable for a pre-purchase inspection.
The most concerning part: the AC was not working at al, and they didn’t catch it. I discovered this myself before paying the dealership. Checking HVAC functionality should be a basic part of any pre-purchase inspection. I understand it was after 5pm, but the shop was open until 7, and I was still paying for a service.
This was my first visit, and I chose this shop because of the strong reviews. Unfortunately, this was the worst pre-purchase inspection I’ve ever had. I won’t be returning.
