Meet Mike Sanford
Mike Sanford began working on motorcycles and cars at an early age. When he began racing in Motorcross, he realized the need to learn as much as possible about automotive repair. He eventually began working as a mechanic for local dealerships, until he gained enough experience to open his own garage. Now, with more than thirty years of experience, Mike runs his business with the knowledge that his customers deserve the best service possible.
About Us
Sanford’s Automotive Service was formed because Mike is passionate about vehicles and loves his work. In a world of big corporations who treat their customers as nothing more than a number on an invoice, Mike Sanford cares deeply about the quality of his services and those who put their trust in his business.
“When you come across a mechanic who is truly knowledgeable and skilled in auto repair, and offers personal and courteous service as well, it takes the sting out of what can be an unpleasant experience.”
Not only do we deliver the quality and personable service that clients deserve, we also do it for considerably less than our competitors. Our labor rates are usually 15-25% less than the major automotive dealerships in the Columbia SC area. We proudly serve this city, and the surrounding areas of Batesburg-Leesville, Blythewood, Camden, Chapin, Elgin, Gilbert, Irmo, Lake Wateree, Lexington, Lugoff, Prosperity, Red Bank, Ridgway, Sumter, West Columbia, and Winnsboro.
With our training and experience, there’s no need to subject yourself to a corporate front that deals with hundreds of customers each week. There is no need to wait two days when the job only takes an hour. There is no need to pay for outrageous labor rates. Sanford’s Automotive Service will give you the personal service you deserve in a reasonable time frame, and at prices you can afford.
