(July 19, 2022, 4:00 pm)I was in Victoria for Duece Days 2022 when the transmission front seal failed on my street rod at 4:30 on a Friday afternoon. After trying to find a shop to look at it, with no success, I was referred to Searles. I swung in 4:45 and not only did they take time to look at it , but said if I would leave it, they would fix it on Saturday. Blake and his guys had me back on the road Saturday afternoon. A huge "Thanks" to Blake and his team for the great service and help.

(May 20, 2022, 9:57 pm)Had to bring my car in to get it ready to sell. The team did a great job with the routine inspection, detailed breakdown of all the steps, and did a great job with the oil change. If I needed anything else done before selling, I would 100% go back for the great service I recieved. 10/10 would recommend!

(May 10, 2022, 3:01 pm)I'd last visited Searles some years ago when their skills in keeping older cars on the road did exactly that for an old Buick Electra Estate wagon I'd purchased new and, if I'm honest, should have sold on years earlier, but just couldn't seem to let go.
They'd always had some performance cars in for their skilled attention, and when my 1975 Jensen Interceptor developed a hard-to-start-after-sitting issue, they were the go-to.
Part of working on limited-run, older collector cars of which there never were many about is getting up to speed on the idiosyncrasies that make them great, but that also make them challenging to operate and repair. Chris and his team are quick studies, and have the essential qualities in working on collector cars -- curiosity, persistence, and fundamental skill, coupled in equal measure with care. They know that these older collector cars, and many of their parts, are in limited supply, so they take care not to cause additional challenges as they do their work.
Their write-up of all that they assessed and rectified was as thorough as I've ever received on that car. There was a lot for the Searles team to have to assess and check before they could determine the best solutions and effect the necessary repairs. The work was effective, tidy, and thorough. And the it solved all the issues. All of them.
Their honesty in performing the work, accounting for time, and in invoicing is unparalleled. The best I have ever encountered.
Excellent work, and great dedication to deciphering and setting right an older, rather fussy car. Even when new, these were challenging cars to work on, even for factory-trained technicians. I'm confident in saying that Chris and his Searles team qualify as legitimate ‘Jensen whisperers.” That Interceptor now runs beautifully.
As I drove away, I found myself mentally listing additional fundamental service issues that I'd return the car to Searles to have performed; issues that I'd delayed attending to because of concerns that I'd not find people who would do the work well, with great care. With Searles, all those concerns have been dispatched, and -- if they'll have me! -- I would happily and enthusiastically return my Interceptor to them for their ongoing fine care.
