Columbia Marathon Gas & Auto Care

"I had windshield washer problems for the second time in a couple years. I took my car to Sam. This is one honest man. He saw that the motor had been replaced on the wipers two years ago. The problem this time was that the fuses kept Blowing each time I turned the wipers on. He replaced the motor at no charge, nor did he charge me labor for the work that he did. I was simply charged four dollars in tax for the part. I will continue to bring my vehicle to this establishment and highly recommend That others use him as well."

"Always take both of our cars here. Trusted and knowledgeable mechanics with great prices. Will go out of their way to ensure great customer service and follow up to make certain your concerns are met."

"I have a 19 year old Ford freestar van. The original tires that came on the van, when I bought it new, needed to be replace which initiated my visit. Norm was the owner of the Columbia Marathon and I've been going there for a little over 40 years. Norm passed away a few years back at which time Sam bought the station. Another mechanic working the station with Sam is James. Both are patient when I ask questions and are willing to spend detail time explaining why things should be done. You get the face to face with the person that is working on the car that you don't get at a chain run repair place like Conrads or Firestone. Kaylee who works the desk as the receptionist has the most delightful personality. She's always very helpful. I trust this Crew. I have found them to be professional, fair and honest. They are well-trained and certified. They guarantee their work but focus on getting it right the first. Columbia Marathon is my go-to station for all of my automotive requirements. I give it five stars and recommend it to everyone."

"There are three professionals in life that you will be fortunate to find to be competent and considerate -- a doctor, a plumber, and a mechanic. While my 2021 Civic is still warranted, I was impressed with the service received at this site for routine work. Other than being close to my residence, I was impressed with the tech communication sent to my phone on the status of my car. They were quick and attentive, even offering to provide some transport if I needed it. I'm still very active at my age, but it is rare to find that kind of support. I like the idea of supporting the hometown mechanic. Highly recommended for a square deal."

"Big kudos to Columbia Marathon, and James (auto mechanic) in particular for a job well done on repairs to my 1985 Buick GN. Alternator, battery, muffler, head lamps were all replaced so I could drive my almost-40-year-old car on a 1300 mile trek to new home in south Florida. The work done was fantastic and the car did the entire journey in 2 days without incident! It ran just like in the old days when I bought it new... flawlessly. Thanks for great service, everyone! (And James, thank YOU for terrific mechanical skills that got me to my final destination!) Love you all."
