If we fixed it, we stand behind it
Every repair at Sarge's Garage is backed by our warranty — 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first.
A barn, a family, and forty years of honest work
We work out of the same barn the Patten family has owned since 1919. Darrin opened the garage in 1993 and still does most of the wrenching himself. Same hands, same standards, same neighbors — that's the whole idea.

Word around town
"Great staff! Extremely nice and fair rates for work. Trusted is the biggest thing I can say about them. It's difficult to find someone you can trust to work on your vehicle, to do a good job, and to not charge you an arm and a leg. These guys, I definitely trust to take my vehicle to."
"I have been using Sarges for about 12 years and have never had a bad experience. They are very friendly and knowledgeable. The best customer service I have had from a garage. Yes, you do get treated like family. So beware. 😂"
"I've used Sarge's Garage for years. Darren and his staff do quality work, and they always fit my car in for repairs quickly. Their prices are competitive, too. I'm a customer for life!"
