Oil Change Alton Wayne's Transmissions
 
Family has recently moved to Alton, looking for basic auto service for Genesis and VW. Wayne's is close by, I've seen some good reviews-- Looking for local opinions or other shop recommendations. Genesis will go to dealer for complicated things, but no need to drive to Manchester for an oil change. Thanks

Wayne's is the only service garage around, and maybe in the entire State of N.H. that still has a very functioning outdoor car lift, out front, under a car port. That outdoor car lift was a common service garage item way back in the 1920's and 1930's and every time I drive past Wayne's it looks like it's in use, even in the winter.

So, three cheers for Wayne's for their modern, up-to-date, outdoor lift ...... a blast from the past that is still very much in use. It's the only one around. Where else is there an outdoor lift like that, still in use?

Stick with Wayne's for the Hyundai Genesis and you'll be happy you did!

Alton Auto has been very good. Tires, oil changes and such. RAV4, Tundra, Miata.

European Autos
 
For European autos, German Motorsports is the place to go. My son-in-law inherited a V12 XKE and local garages won't touch it. German Motorsports did a great job in repairing it.

For Pre purchase inspections, they do an honest and thorough job. Often picked out things the dealers missed!

I have always been satisfied with Wayne’s. Use them for basic oil changes, brakes, etc…. German auto sports is further away for me but use them for more complicated services on German cars.

Must be a vestige from an old service station at same location?

Working under a car like that during a heavy rain or snow is a good umbrella?
