Neil Swanson
Technician
As our most experienced technician with an impressive track record, Neil has been in car repair since 1973. While he began his career at Nissan and Audi dealerships, over time his focus has evolved toward European car repair, especially Volkswagen and Volvo. He has been with W. Jennings Co. for nearly 10 years! Neil appreciates the advantages of being with an independent repair shop: “The atmosphere with customers and other team members is more personal. Unlike the dealerships, there is more direct human contact and you get to see every link in the chain.” Neil’s interests outside of work include time with his family as well as music and photography.
See What Our Customers Are Saying!
I have a Mini and I'm very satisfied with the service and the attention I get. They always take the time to explain what needs to be done and what doesn't need to be done. They clearly love what they do and want to make the customers happy. The prices are fair. They saved me $100's off the price of a new clutch compared to the dealer. I highly recommend W. Jennings Co.
Jeff DeanI have always received excellent service from W. Jennings Company. Ward and his crew are very knowledgeable, experienced mechanics and they provide terrific customer service. They have worked on many of my cars of many different manufacturers including BMW, Porsche, Ford and Lexus. I highly recommend them for whatever type of car you drive.
Timothy RussellIn my experience, Jennings is by far the best Auto Repair Shop around with the highest level of honesty, expertise, and customer service you can find. For over 18 years, they have done a superb job of keeping my cars in top shape. They have provided consistently excellent service on every level, often exceeding expectations. Would recommend Ward Jennings team to anyone. A+! I'd give them 6 stars if I could.
Brenda UngerlandThe team at W Jennings is dedicated to following through and solving problems great and small on my 91 MB. I appreciate their fair pricing, great communication from Bill and and Darek, and easy access to Ward, the owner. Honest service providers for foreign auto repair can be hard to find. Look no further than this honest, clean, and user-friendly shop right off 95 in Fairfield-Southport neighborhood.
