Godfrey’s Auto Works

Simply. The. Best. Mechanic. In. Longview.
Here are some words that aren’t always associated with mechanics: Honest. Responsive. Flexible. Polite. Affordable. Prompt. Resourceful. Accountable. They ALL apply to Godfrey’s.
I was fortunate to find them not long after moving to Longview in 2001 and being grossly disappointed by another shop not far away (which shall remain nameless). At the time, I was driving a VERY high-​mileage Mazda 626. Jeff was helpful in prioritizing the work it needed (I was out of work and cautious with my $$) and how to get it done. That support has continued now, with a newer-​but-​not-​new PT Cruiser as well. He always saves offending parts to show me what needed repair; he showed me the water that he got out of my fuel filter (never bought THAT gas again); he recommends but does not hard-​sell additional work for the future; he takes the time to share with me his diagnostic process and demonstrates deep, deep experience in all areas of repair.
Over the years I have sent 6 or 7 friends and relatives there and they ALL have raved about the service.
There may be vehicles or repairs where he doesn’t excel, but based on the array of vehicles I’ve seen there, I’d bet against it. It’s so nice to write a review that isn’t a complaint! Godfrey’s RAWKS.
