    My first experience with Blackwell was on the recommendation of a friend. I needed a major repair. Blackwell was great! They diagnosed the problem and took care of it the same day. I am now a faithful repeat customer and had my first oil change with them today.

    I have nothing but good things to say about Blackwell Automotive! They kept me well informed immediately after doing a diagnostic test to figure out what was wrong, gave me accurate quotes and treated me very fairly. I will definitely go back to Blackwell.
