Tom’s the real deal—especially when it comes to weird, older European cars. I’ve got a couple of Saabs and a Mercedes that most places wouldn’t even bother with, but he actually *finds* the parts I need, even if he doesn’t have them on hand. Fast, no-bullshit service, and he doesn’t make you feel like you’re wasting his time. If you’ve got a car that’s hard to work on, give him a call.

Tom and Geoff made the whole process smooth. No attitude, no overcharging—just straightforward, no-nonsense help. If I need parts again soon, I’m heading straight back to them. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. ---

Tom and the guys at Bow Auto Parts saved me a ton of hassle with my tailgate issue. I messaged them with a quick question, and Tom got back to me fast—no waiting around, no runaround. The prices were fair, too, which is always a plus when you’re dealing with car parts. If you’re looking for a place that actually knows what they’re doing and treats you right, this is it. I’ll definitely be coming back next time I need something. ---

Honestly, I was a little nervous walking into Bow Auto Parts—being a woman in an auto shop can feel like stepping into a different world sometimes. But Austin changed that right away. He didn’t talk down to me or make me feel out of place. Instead, he explained things clearly, answered all my questions, and even went the extra mile to help me figure out what I needed. I bought two parts for my SUV, but later realized I didn’t actually need one of them. The return window had already closed, but I still needed something similar. Austin didn’t hesitate—he found the exact part I wanted, swapped it out for me, and made the whole thing hassle-free. That’s the kind of service you don’t usually get. When I went back to pick it up, even the guy at the front (whose name I forgot to ask) was just as helpful. I mentioned how stressed I’d been lately, and instead of rushing me along, they actually took the time to listen. It’s not often you find a place where the staff knows their stuff *and* treats you like a person, not just a sale. Because of how well they handled everything, I’ll be back—and I’ve already told a few friends about them. They turned what could’ve been a frustrating experience into something easy and even pleasant. ---

Eric at Bow Auto Parts made finding what I needed stupidly easy. The prices were great, and he didn’t waste my time—just helped me track down the two motors I was after. They were in solid condition, too, which is always a relief. I’ll be buying from them again, no question. If you want good parts and someone who actually helps instead of just ringing you up, this is the place. ---
