I've been a customer since I moved to Cloverdale over 10 years ago. I am ALWAYS greeted with a smile, and the service is top shelf. This time I brought my road runner in for some very much needed updates to the suspension. I can't be more pleased with the results, and I highly recommend Southard. I'll be bringing my Jeep in soon for a new set of tires.Service: Steering & suspension repair

Feel wrong to give them even one star. I have a vehicle that had 2 tires going flat from a pile of nails on the highway and one blew. I found quickly a set of tires used that where garaged and still good and lots of tread. Where 1000 dollars in tires for 200. Well I had one of the tires brought here and to be put on to get the vehicle off the highway and a friend helped me out driving her little car with big tires to do it. They simply refused to put them on. Said they felt they where to old and that it's a rule blah blah blah. Well I looked into it and well that was a lie. Lazy tire shop with lazy people. They where more then happy to give me a quote for 1000 then they would do it. Meanwhile kids stuck in the truck on the highway and all the shops had the same thing in the area. Suggestion leave the area. Every shop outside of these people in the area will do it. Followed the laws and rules of tire tread depth and rubber quality and said they will work for what I needed and did it. You pay for a service or used to no one needs your opinions or sales pitch worse shop ever. Avoid this area for tires it is cheaper everywhere else also.

They are very helpful and friendly. I had some rotors turned for a brake job I was doing. Waiting room is great, lots of foliage, good magazines to read!

Juli, the owner, was so lovely to work with. I received multiple tire options from her & she shared her honest opinion about what she felt was best for the type of tires my car needed. The staff is knowledgeable, responsive & quick - I would highly recommend them to anyone in the area.Service: TiresService: Tires

I have recently had the pleasure of having my tires replaced and oil changed by this wonderful shop. And while I was there I asked do you by any chance do timing belts. Yes we do Julie said. So today I was back at Southards to have my timing belt and water pump changed and also new rear tires. What a wonderful experience and price. I have a 1999 Toyota Camry. Both Julie and Paul are wonderful people and their mechanic as well. The shop and waiting room are as clean as could be. Julie is a ray of sunshine as is Paul who will take the time to explain what was done and if there is anything else that should be done and why. I drove away with complete confidence that my car was at top running order. As a matter of fact going back to have the rear brakes done. My husband is a excellent mechanic but said yes have Southards take care of. This is truly a shop I and everyone can trust.Thank you Paul and Julie

Car broke down 5 hours from home. Southard Auto was a great help. They were honest about the timeline for repair, then had my car fixed at the time and for the price they had estimated. I highly recommend this business.Service: BrakesService: Brakes

The only people I trust with my car, even when I get a lower quoted price somewhere else I know the work will be done right and with integrity at Southard's. Julie is always so nice and helpful on the phone and in person.

Julie was most helpful from the moment she picked up the phone. She was able to give me an accurate quote for the job and she only charged me the quoted amount even though more time had to be spent on my job. I was just passing through and she treated me like a local. If I lived here I wouldn't go anywhere else.

The lady was nice but the husband is a hack and a crook brought them tires and wheels to be dismounted so they could be refinished when I brought them back to be remounted he said he could only sell me new tires not remount the old ones made no mention at the time he dismounted he also just sat there and made his wife do all the work not someone I would bring anything important toService: Tires

They are always pleasant to work with and their prices are often better than or equal to competitors in both Mendocino and Sonoma Counties.Unlike chain tire shops, you get a genuine sense of engagement and community from Southards.

We were traveling and had a nail in our tire. Locals recommended Southards. Super friendly and fit us into their schedule. Family owned and operated.

Thank you so much. My daughter was far from home and having scary car trouble. You were kind and made her feel comfortable. You took care of her right away and she got back to school safe and sound. Thanks so much.

Once again, Southards has saved the day. The van had multiple issues that were all scheduled to be fixed, and in fact, I was waiting on parts at another shop to get one job done. Then, something really bad happened with the brakes and the van was inoperable. It was towed to Southards and they got right on it. They are fixing ALL the current issues and the van will be in complete repair, (except for some cosmetic stuff) after just one week. Thank you.

I took my car in for service & asked the owners wife if the technicians were A.S.E. Certified. She then told me they would not work on my car cause I would be a problem for them. This was because I asked if a qualified technician would be working on my car.I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS SHOP FOR ANYTHING!

Dodged a big bullet today, thanks to the brilliant Mr. Luis and his boss Juli at Southard Tire and Auto Center. There's this thing called the timing chain tensioner. If it goes, the timing chain could come apart *while driving* and blow my engine. It had deep gouges in the metal; my timing chain did that. I've heard rough engine noise for a year or more, plus a weird clicking sound when I slowed to a stop; several mechanics have test driven it and not once mentioned the rough sound or that it could be serious.This new-to-me mechanic, Mr. Luis, who is brilliant I know now, looked closer and zeroed in on this little part. At first he thought it might be the one on the lower timing chain, which would have cost $1200+. Then he had another thought: for the price of a $49 diagnosis, he could take off the valve cover (easy) and from there he could see both timing chains and tensioners/guides.He found it was the top one that was going bad, not the bottom one, which cost closer to $400 (he said it was so bad I shouldn't drive it much at all till it was fixed). Had the part replaced today; purrs like a kitten now - and it might have fixed the clicking sound too.When I brought the car in this morning I also brought donuts for Mr. Luis and the whole crew, and my loyalty for life (or for as long as I'm in Cloverdale, California)!
